Cellular morphodynamics as quantifiers for functional states of resident tissue macrophages in vivo

This study quantifies morphodynamic features of peritoneal resident tissue macrophages in vivo to distinguish functional states and assess tissue age.

Estimation of the mass density of biological matter from refractive index measurements

This paper estimates mass density from refractive index measurements using a method that incorporates biochemical composition assumptions and uncertainty analysis, validated on biological samples.

Conserved nucleocytoplasmic density homeostasis drives cellular organization across eukaryotes

This study shows that the nuclear-to-cytoplasmic density ratio is conserved across eukaryotes and drives cellular organization, with implications for diseases like cancer and senescence.

A DNA segregation module for synthetic cells

This paper develops an entropy-driven DNA segregation module using DNA Y-motifs in synthetic cells, showing controlled segregation via cleavage and environmental factors.

A pili-driven bacterial turbine

This paper models a bacterial turbine powered by type IV pili, showing persistent rotation through collective pili dynamics and asymmetric adhesion.

RNA polymerase II clusters form in line with liquid phase wetting of chromatin

The paper shows that RNA polymerase II clusters form in line with liquid phase wetting of chromatin in zebrafish embryos, using microscopy and a computational model.

The domain-within-domain packing of euchromatin can be described as multiplicative cascades

The paper demonstrates that euchromatin's hierarchical domain organization can be described as multiplicative cascades using 3D STED microscopy data from zebrafish embryos.

High-precision protein-tracking with interferometric scattering microscopy

This paper applies interferometric single particle tracking to study the mobility of epidermal growth factor receptor in live cells with high spatial and temporal resolution.

Thermal fluctuations assist mechanical signal propagation in coiled-coil proteins

The paper shows thermal fluctuations enable mechanical signal propagation in coiled-coil proteins through numerical simulations of a simplified Frenkel-Kontorova chain model.

Continuum theory of active phase separation in cellular aggregates

The paper develops a hydrodynamic theory to model active phase separation in dense cellular aggregates, capturing coalescence dynamics and out-of-equilibrium behavior.

Quantitative measurements of chromatin modification dynamics during zygotic genome activation

The paper quantifies chromatin modification dynamics during zygotic genome activation in zebrafish embryos using fluorescent antibody imaging.

Intracellular mass density increase is accompanying but not sufficient for stiffening and growth arrest of yeast cells

The paper shows that increased intracellular mass density correlates with stiffness in yeast cells during metabolic arrest but is not sufficient for growth arrest.

Transcription organizes euchromatin similar to an active microemulsion

The paper shows transcriptionally inactive euchromatin moves away from active euchromatin, forming RNA-enriched microenvironments that resemble an active microemulsion.
