The paper shows periodic obstacles regulate membrane tension propagation in neurons, enabling localized mechanotransduction by restricting tension spread.

This study develops a continuum model to explain how viscoelastic interactions between the cytoskeleton and plasma membrane modulate furrow invagination velocity during Drosophila embryo cellularization.

This paper develops a network model of the membrane skeleton integrating myosin and membrane mechanics to show that membrane bending and spectrin/myosin turnover are critical for maintaining structural stability under mechanical stress.

This study shows that axon morphology and function are influenced by membrane mechanics, with activity modulating cholesterol levels and affecting conduction velocity.

This study uses a 3D model to show how actin polymerization increases membrane tension in dendritic spines, triggering exocytosis and subsequent spine stabilization.

The paper develops a biophysical model to link actin dynamics to synaptic spine shape fluctuations, showing that discrete polymerization foci drive membrane changes.
