Study of Impacts of Two Types of Cellular Aging on the Yeast Bud Morphogenesis

K. Tsai, Z. Zhou, J. Yang, Z. Xu, S. Xu, R. Zandi, N. Hao, W. Chen, M. Alber

This study analyzes two aging modes in yeast, showing spherical budding cells better control growth and size, and develops a model to test mechanisms of bud morphogenesis during aging.

Microbial community composition is affected by press, but not pulse, seawater intrusion

C. Mobilian, N. I. Wisnoski, J. T. Lennon, M. Alber, S. Widney, C. B. Craft

This study shows that continuous seawater intrusion reduces microbial diversity in tidal freshwater marshes, while episodic intrusion has less impact.

Epithelial organ shape is generated by patterned actomyosin contractility and maintained by the extracellular matrix

A. Nematbakhsh, M. Levis, N. Kumar, W. Chen, J. J. Zartman, M. Alber

The paper investigates how actomyosin contractility and extracellular matrix mechanics shape and maintain epithelial organ morphology in Drosophila wing discs.

Quantification of Microtubule Stutters: Dynamic Instability Behaviors that are Strongly Associated with Catastrophe

S. M. Mahserejian, J. P. Scripture, A. J. Mauro, E. J. Lawrence, E. M. Jonasson, K. S. Murray, J. Li, M. K. Gardner, M. Alber, M. Zanic, H. V. Goodson

The paper introduces STADIA, a tool to quantify microtubule dynamics, including stutters, and shows stutters precede catastrophes, with CLASP2{gamma} promoting their return to growth.
