The paper introduces SMAUG, a semi-automated tool for analyzing actin filament dynamics from TIRF microscopy images, reducing analysis time while maintaining accuracy.

The paper models immune cell migration by integrating nuclear piston, uropod, and microenvironment mechanics to show how they synergize for efficient movement through dense tissues.

The paper identifies a Ca2+-dependent mechanism for plasma membrane expansion during hypoosmotic swelling in fission yeast, involving mechanosensitive channels, lipid transfer, and exocytosis.

This study shows myosin-I enhances the force generation of Arp2/3 complex-nucleated actin networks by thinning them and promoting symmetry breaking.
