Polarized localization of kinesin-1 and RIC-7 drives axonal mitochondria anterograde transport

The paper identifies kinesin-1 and RIC-7 as polarized transport complexes at the leading end of mitochondria driving anterograde axonal transport in C. elegans.

Universality in the Mechanical Behavior of Vertex Models for Biological Tissues

The paper investigates the mechanical behavior of six vertex models for biological tissues and identifies universal features in their shear modulus and viscoelastic response.

Collective chemotaxis in a Voronoi model for confluent clusters

This paper develops an open-source computational model to study collective chemotaxis in confluent cell layers, showing that contact inhibition of locomotion and heterotypic interfacial tension can drive collective movement.

Phylodynamic signatures in the emergence of community-associated MRSA

This study uses phylodynamic methods to analyze the emergence and spread of community-associated MRSA lineages globally, identifying common patterns of epidemic growth and transmission.

Hunting Eagles with glass mice: revisiting the inoculum effect for Streptococcus pyogenes with a hollow fibre infection model

This study re-evaluates the inoculum effect for antibiotics in Strep A using a hollow fibre infection model, finding effects for benzylpenicillin, linezolid, and clindamycin.

The Drosophila Afadin and ZO-1 homologs Canoe and Polychaetoid act in parallel to maintain epithelial integrity when challenged by adherens junction remodeling

This study shows Canoe and Polychaetoid work together to maintain epithelial integrity during junction remodeling in Drosophila embryos.
