Modeling the dynamics of actin and myosin during bleb stabilization

This study examines myosin's role in regulating actin cortex dynamics during bleb stabilization using mathematical modeling and microscopy data from Dictyostelium discoideum cells.

Actin turnover required for adhesion-independent bleb migration

This study shows that actin turnover is necessary for bleb-based migration in rigid channels, as purely elastic actin cortex prevents effective movement.

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.

Computational estimates of mechanical constraints on cell migration through the extracellular matrix

This paper uses computational simulations to compare two 3D cell migration mechanisms through the extracellular matrix, finding that amoeboid migration is more robust and efficient under varying mechanical conditions.
