The paper measures membrane tension gradients in mitotic HeLa cells after localized RhoA activation, showing sustained tension asymmetry and cytoskeletal remodeling.

This study shows that mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) in breast cancer cells reduces proliferation but enhances immune evasion, suggesting MET promotes tumor outgrowth through immune survival rather than proliferation.

The paper shows a protein-DNA co-condensate forms a surface hydrogel that mechanically reinforces the nucleus and protects DNA from damage during mechanical stress.

This study investigates how mitotic cells regulate plasma membrane tension using FliptR sensors and AFM measurements, revealing two actin-driven mechanisms involving hydrostatic pressure and protrusion forces.

The paper develops a model showing local basement membrane degradation drives epithelial folding without epithelial growth.
