Advected percolation in the actomyosin cortex drives amoeboid cell motility

The paper identifies advected percolation as a mechanism driving amoeboid cell motility by analyzing actin cortex dynamics in motile blebs.

A rigidity phase transition of Stomatin condensates governs a switch from transport to mechanotransduction

The paper shows that MEC-2 Stomatin undergoes a rigidity phase transition in C. elegans, switching between transport and mechanotransduction functions.

The nucleus measures shape deformation for cellular proprioception and regulates adaptive morphodynamics

The paper shows the nucleus acts as a shape deformation sensor, enabling cells to adapt behavior to their microenvironment through calcium-dependent mechano-transduction.

Cortical anchoring of the microtubule cytoskeleton is essential for neuron polarity and functioning

The paper identifies UNC-119 as a key protein linking Ankyrin and CRMP to anchor microtubules in neurons, essential for maintaining polarity and function.

A reconstituted mammalian APC-kinesin complex selectively transports defined packages of axonal mRNAs

This study reconstitutes a mammalian mRNA transport system showing APC, kinesin-2, and KAP3 drive selective axonal mRNA transport via 3UTR guanine-rich sequences.

Habitat-Net: Segmentation of habitat images using deep learning

Habitat-Net segments tropical rainforest habitat images using deep learning, achieving higher accuracy and faster processing than manual methods and U-Net.
