This study shows that kinesin-driven microtubule buckling causes severe lattice damage that often exceeds microtubule self-repair capacity, leading to breakage, but survival is enhanced with intracellular factors.

The paper introduces a method to infer dendrite morphology from a temporary signal generated by diffusively transported mRNA, linking morphological changes to signal characteristics in neurodegenerative diseases.

This study numerically examines how confining pressure affects the growth of stress-responsive bacteria in 3D colonies, showing pressure enhances colony density and growth while mechanosensitivity has a smaller impact.

This study uses a floor-field model to show that tau-taxol competition on microtubules explains tau envelope formation and stability without requiring tau-tau interactions.
