Mitochondrial function regulates cell growth kinetics to actively maintain mitochondrial homeostasis

The paper shows that mitochondrial function influences cell growth rates to maintain mitochondrial volume homeostasis across cell divisions in yeast.

Capturing Nematic Order on Tissue Surfaces of Arbitrary Geometry

The paper introduces a method to analyze nematic order on tissue surfaces of arbitrary geometry, validated in vitro and in vivo, revealing physical insights through 3D reconstruction from 2D image stacks.

Active morphodynamics of intracellular organelles in the trafficking pathway

The paper investigates the morphodynamics of intracellular organelles by modeling active mechano-chemical cycles in trafficking pathways, showing how fission and fusion events generate active stresses and hydrodynamic flows.

Rapid exchange of stably bound protein and DNA cargo on a DNA origami receptor

This paper designs a DNA origami receptor that enables stable complexes with rapid subunit exchange, demonstrating the system's ability to handle both DNA and protein cargo.

Scaffolding of RhoA contractile signaling by anillin: a regulatory analogue of kinetic proofreading

This paper identifies anillin's role in RhoA contractile signaling by stabilizing active GTP-RhoA and promoting contractility through a non-classical scaffolding mechanism.
