Cell adhesion strength and tractions are mechano-diagnostic features of cellular invasiveness

N. Paddillaya, K. Ingale, C. Gaikwad, D. K. Saini, P. A. Pullarkat, P. Kondaiah, G. I. Menon, N. Gundiah

This study quantifies adhesion strength and tractions in cancer and non-cancer cells to correlate with invasiveness, showing invasive cells have lower adhesion strength and higher tractions.

The axonal actin-spectrin lattice acts as a tension buffering shock absorber

S. Dubey, N. Bhembre, S. Bodas, A. Ghose, A. Callan-Jones, P. A. Pullarkat

The paper investigates axon biomechanics and finds that the actin-spectrin lattice functions as a tension buffer by reversibly unfolding spectrin domains to absorb mechanical stress.

The roles of microtubules and membrane tension in axonal beading, retraction, and atrophy

A. Datar, J. Ameeramja, A. Bhat, R. Srivastava, R. Bernal, J. Prost, A. Callan-Jones, P. A. Pullarkat

This study investigates how microtubules and membrane tension drive axonal beading, retraction, and atrophy in neurodegenerative conditions through controlled experiments and theoretical analysis.

Cytoskeletal mechanisms of axonal contractility

S. P. Mutalik, J. Joseph, P. A. Pullarkat, A. Ghose

This study investigates cytoskeletal mechanisms regulating axonal contractility, finding that actomyosin drives active contraction while microtubules have a secondary role.
