Hydrostatic pressure shapes and canalizes semicircular canal morphology to ensure vestibular function

The paper shows hydrostatic pressure from the inflating otic vesicle shapes zebrafish semicircular canals, driving pillars toward a common geometry and ensuring vestibular function.

Chemical Compensation to Mechanical Loss in CellMechanosensation

This study identifies a chemical compensation mechanism in cells responding to mechanical stimuli, revealing non-monotonic changes in volume and pH mediated by PI3K/Akt and MAPK/ERK pathway interactions.

Cells Prioritize the Regulation of Cell Mass Density

The paper investigates cell mass density (CMD) dynamics after osmotic shock and finds CMD recovers monotonically through coordinated protein synthesis and volume growth, with NHE playing a regulatory role.

From Decay to Rhythm: Coherent Biological Oscillators Require More Than Chemistry Alone

This paper proposes a mechanism to achieve noise-resistant coherent oscillations by coupling a Markovian system to a non-Markovian system, validated through a trimolecular reaction system.
