Stiffness-dependent active wetting enables optimal collective cell durotaxis

This study shows that cellular clusters migrate optimally on stiffness gradients by balancing active traction, contractility, and surface tension, based on their wetting properties.

A Brownian ratchet model explains the biased sidestepping movement of single-headed kinesin-3 KIF1A

The paper explains how single-headed KIF1A motors produce left-handed helical motion by sidestepping on microtubules, using experimental and simulation data.
