The paper studies the locomotion of a ciliated algal protist, revealing that complex behavioral patterns emerge from low-dimensional dynamics of ciliary beating.

The paper investigates how patterned cell shape changes during Drosophila embryogenesis are regulated by transcription factors and actomyosin gradients to promote tissue curvature.

The paper investigates cytoplasmic transport during Drosophila oogenesis, finding that hydraulic forces, not myosin-II contractility, primarily drive the process.

The paper introduces a framework to infer state transition dynamics from static data, validated on protein folding, gene regulatory networks, and HIV evolution.

The paper identifies structural redundancy and directional stiffening in actomyosin networks that ensure robust tissue folding in Drosophila embryos.
