The paper shows that injured developing zebrafish pectoral fins adapt growth rates to restore size and structure through compensatory mechanisms.

The paper introduces programmable microactuators to study ciliary responses to local flows, finding phase-locking and frequency shifts in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cilia.

The paper investigates morphogen scaling mechanisms in axolotl limb regeneration, showing static scaling ensures proportional growth while dynamic scaling does not.

This paper introduces ROCE to study cell signaling and motility by using light to control and observe cellular responses in various cell types.

The paper discovers that sarcomeres divide along the myofibril tension axis during Drosophila muscle development to add new sarcomeres while maintaining mechanical integrity.

The paper measures torsion and twist in axonemes of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, finding co-rotation between cross-section and bending plane, indicating twist-torsion coupling.

The paper quantifies phase fluctuations in axonemes after dynein motor removal, showing increased oscillation precision with motor number and distinct roles for inner and outer arm dyneins.
