Chemophoresis Engine: Universal Principle of ATPase-driven Cargo Transport

The paper introduces the chemophoresis engine as a mechanism for ATPase-driven cargo transport, demonstrating its role in plasmid positioning and oscillation in bacterial cells.

Polygamous breeding system identified in the distylous genus Psychotria: P. manillensis in the Ryukyu archipelago, Japan

The paper identifies a polygamous breeding system in Psychotria manillensis, including monoecious, female, male, and hermaphroditic individuals, marking the first such report in distylous species.

Angulin-1 seals tricellular contacts independently of tricellulin and claudins

This study shows angulin-1 is essential for sealing tricellular contacts independently of tricellulin and claudins in MDCK II cells.

Microrheology for Hi-C Data Reveals the Spectrum of the Dynamic 3D Genome Organization

This paper introduces a microrheology method for Hi-C data to analyze the dynamic 3D genome organization, revealing rigid TAD boundaries and liquid-like inter-compartment interactions during neural differentiation.

Epigenetic-scale comparison of human iPSCs generated by retrovirus, Sendai virus or episomal vectors

The paper compares epigenetic differences in human iPSCs generated by three different vectors and finds Sendai virus generates the fewest aberrant methylation sites.
