Mechanochemical coupling tunes robustness of PAR polarity across developmental contexts in the C. elegans embryo

Ryunosuke Saito, Sungrim Seirin Lee, Masatoshi Nishikawa

The paper shows that cortical flow reinforces PAR polarity against CDC-42 perturbations in C. elegans embryos, with different robustness across developmental contexts.

Active geometrodynamics predicts the emergence of cytokinesis

Aditya Singh Rajput, Kunal Kumar, Masatoshi Nishikawa, K Vijay Kumar

The paper uses a theory of active geometrodynamics and C. elegans zygote data to show that cytokinesis emerges from self-organized patterns of myosin concentration and cell shape.
