In vitro experiments and kinetic models of pollen hydration show that MSL8 is not a simple tension-gated osmoregulator

The paper tests if MSL8 functions as a tension-gated osmoregulator in pollen hydration using experiments and models, finding it instead strengthens the cell wall.

Simulation of the mechanics of actin assembly during endocytosis in yeast

The paper simulates actin assembly mechanics during yeast endocytosis, showing that forces from polymerized actin can overcome turgor pressure.
