Synchronization of oscillatory growth prepares fungal hyphae for fusion

This paper shows fungal hyphae use oscillatory signaling and calcium-dependent growth to prepare for cell fusion, transitioning from individual 'monologue' to coordinated 'dialogue' when interacting.

A DNA segregation module for synthetic cells

This paper develops an entropy-driven DNA segregation module using DNA Y-motifs in synthetic cells, showing controlled segregation via cleavage and environmental factors.

Clustered transposon insertion via formation of chromatin loops

This study models how transposon insertion can lead to clustered genomic regions through chromatin loop formation and physical conditions that favor adjacent insertions.

RNA polymerase II clusters form in line with liquid phase wetting of chromatin

The paper shows that RNA polymerase II clusters form in line with liquid phase wetting of chromatin in zebrafish embryos, using microscopy and a computational model.

The domain-within-domain packing of euchromatin can be described as multiplicative cascades

The paper demonstrates that euchromatin's hierarchical domain organization can be described as multiplicative cascades using 3D STED microscopy data from zebrafish embryos.

Quantitative measurements of chromatin modification dynamics during zygotic genome activation

The paper quantifies chromatin modification dynamics during zygotic genome activation in zebrafish embryos using fluorescent antibody imaging.

Spreading of molecular mechanical perturbations on linear filaments

The paper investigates how local interactions spread in one-dimensional systems, finding that their global impact depends on system size and spreading behavior.

Transcription organizes euchromatin similar to an active microemulsion

The paper shows transcriptionally inactive euchromatin moves away from active euchromatin, forming RNA-enriched microenvironments that resemble an active microemulsion.
