Spontaneous cell morphogenesis via self-propelled actin filaments

The paper shows actin filaments move directionally via treadmilling, driving membrane protrusions and cell migration through physical mechanisms.

LUZP1 regulates the constriction velocity of the contractile ring during cytokinesis

This study identifies LUZP1 as a novel regulator of cytokinesis by modulating the constriction velocity of the contractile ring through interactions with DAPK3 and MYL9.

Cell viability assessment associated with a contact of gas bubbles produced by femtosecond laser breakdown in cell culture media

This study examines the effects of gas bubbles from femtosecond laser processing on cell viability, finding that stable bubbles do not harm cells but bubble bursts can cause mechanical damage.

Guided Axon Outgrowth of Neurons by Real-Time Femtosecond Laser Penetration on a 4 μm Thick Thin-Glass Sheet

This study uses a real-time femtosecond laser and microfluidic device to guide axon outgrowth by creating netrin-1 gradients, achieving 92% guided axon growth.

A Ca2+ wave generates a force during cell extrusion in zebrafish

This study shows that a Ca2+ wave in zebrafish generates force during cell extrusion by inducing polarized movements via IP3 receptor and trpc1.

GTL1 is required for a robust root hair growth response to avoid nutrient overloading

The paper shows that GTL1 and DF1 prevent excessive root hair growth by repressing RSL4 under high nutrient conditions.
