Hybrid Scaffolds Decouple Biochemical & Biophysical Regulation of Cell Phenotype

This paper introduces hybrid scaffolds that independently control biochemical and biophysical properties to study their effects on cell phenotype, showing enhanced breast cancer cell proliferation and invasion.

The mitotic chromosome periphery: a fluid coat that mediates chromosome mechanics

This study characterizes mitotic chromosome mechanics and shows the mitotic chromosome periphery (MCP) provides force-damping properties and structural constraints.

The Chromosome Periphery is an Essential Compartment of Oocyte Chromosomes

This study investigates the role of the chromosome periphery in oocyte meiosis, showing its impact on chromosome structure and meiotic progression in human and mouse oocytes.

Origami: Single-cell oriented 3D shape dynamics of folding epithelia from fluorescence microscopy images

Origami computes oriented cell shape features in curved epithelia using fluorescence microscopy images, accurately identifying cell orientation in zebrafish embryos.
