This study demonstrates direct mechanical interactions between single actin and vimentin filaments, independent of crosslinking proteins, and quantifies the interaction forces.

The paper identifies conserved actin-driven mechanisms in jellyfish oocytes that facilitate meiosis, suggesting ancient origins in metazoans.

The paper uses Bayesian inference to determine bond parameters between vimentin filaments from force trajectories measured with optical tweezers.

The paper introduces Cytocalc, a Python toolkit for analyzing Cytosim simulations, and uses it to quantify viscoelastic properties of cross-linked cytoskeletal networks.

This study uses in silico FRAP experiments to analyze how synaptic geometry and protein-vesicle binding affect protein mobility, identifying two key mechanisms influencing recovery times.
