The paper investigates how tau protein coordinates microtubule-actin interactions in synthetic cell-like vesicles, showing its role in MT organization and MT-actin colocalization depending on actin crosslinkers and vesicle size.

This paper measures force scaling in microtubule swarms driven by kinesin motors, showing quantitative scalability and linking collective organization to mechanical performance.

This paper introduces TRAP, a light-triggered protease system for controlled secretion from synthetic cells, demonstrating its ability to release fluorescent and luminescent proteins.
