Bioenergetic responses to β-adrenergic stimulation in beige adipocyte depend on actomyosin driven forces

The paper identifies a biomechanical pathway in beige adipocytes that mediates thermogenic activation through Myh9-FAK signaling, distinct from white adipocytes.

Frequency-dependent cellular microrheology with pyramidal atomic force microscopy probes

This paper develops a framework for using standard pyramidal AFM probes to measure frequency-dependent mechanical properties of cells, validating it with hydrogels and cytoskeletal inhibitor-treated cells.

Dissecting neurofilament tail sequence-phosphorylation-structure relationships with multicomponent reconstituted protein brushes

The paper investigates how neurofilament tail sequence and phosphorylation affect protein brush conformation using reconstituted brushes and theoretical models.

Viscoelastic high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid hydrogels support rapid glioblastoma cell invasion with leader-follower dynamics

This study shows that high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid hydrogels promote faster glioblastoma cell invasion with leader-follower dynamics compared to low-molecular-weight HA hydrogels.
