This study shows vimentin enhances nuclear deformation in polarized cells by linking to nesprin-3 and transmitting forces through the nuclear envelope.

This study uses a computational model to show that fluid-like tumor spheroids cause more ECM remodeling than solid-like spheroids due to shape fluctuations and cellular motility.

This study investigates how compressive strain affects astrocyte morphology, metabolism, and ECM modification in a 3D hydrogel model of the optic nerve head.

This study shows extracellular vimentin and its citrullinated form activate TLR4 on human neutrophils, influencing migration, NET formation, and pathogen phagocytosis differently.

This study shows that BRG1 activity fluidizes the nucleus, altering its stiffness and dissipating mechanical energy, with implications for nuclear mechanics and remodeling.

This study shows that substrate stiffness affects the collective expansion of Myxococcus xanthus colonies, with adventurous motility playing a key role in sensing and responding to surface stiffness.

This study investigates the mechanical properties of actin-vimentin composites using optical tweezers microrheology, revealing scale-dependent interactions that influence stress response and rheological behavior.

The paper uses phenotypic similarity to assess functional redundancy in homologous gene families of Myxococcus xanthus, showing mutant strains cluster by gene family.

This study examines how light exposure affects collective motility in swarming Serratia marcescens colonies, identifying conditions under which mobility is suppressed or reversed.
