This study engineers the Arabidopsis FLS2 receptor to control its oligomerization, showing that dimerization enhances immune responses while tetramerization impairs receptor turnover and weakens sustained signaling.

This study shows that PV antibodies cause tension loss at desmosomes and cell-cell adhesions by inhibiting RhoA, which can be partially reversed by altering actomyosin contractility.

This study shows epithelial cells exhibit a strain-rate dependent bimodal stress response, including dynamic tensioning resembling active pulling-back, mediated by actin remodeling.

This study shows that Chikungunya virus nsP1 preferentially binds to positively curved membranes, enabling saddle curvature association critical for replication complex assembly.
