Mechanism of tension propagation in cell membranes

This paper proposes a new mechanism for tension propagation in cell membranes, explaining the range of observed speeds through intra-cellular pressure and membrane area redistribution.

Self-Assembly of Tunable Intrinsically DisorderedPeptide Amphiphiles

This study investigates how sequence variations in IDPAs affect their self-assembly structures and phase transitions, showing that single amino acid mutations can tune mesophase behavior and enable enzymatic activation.

Tetraspanin 4 mediates migrasome formation via a two-stage mechanism

This study investigates how tetraspanin 4 mediates migrasome formation through a two-stage mechanism involving membrane tension and cholesterol.

Chiral growth of adherent filopodia

This study identifies myosin-X and DAAM1 as key factors promoting chiral growth in adherent filopodia, revealing how actin dynamics drive left-right asymmetry in cellular protrusions.

Transmembrane proteins tetraspanin 4 and CD9 sense membrane curvature

This study shows that tetraspanin4 and CD9 sense positive membrane curvature, revealing their role in membrane shaping processes like migrasome formation and oocyte microvilli shaping.

Model for ring closure in ER tubular network dynamics

The paper models ER ring closure dynamics, showing that membrane tension drives the elimination of ER tubules and junctions through nanopore interactions and fission.

Forces and constraints controlling podosome assembly and disassembly

This study investigates how mechanical forces and membrane tension affect podosome assembly and disassembly in cells.
