Redox-dependent binding and conformational equilibria govern the fluorescence decay of NAD(P)H in living cells

Thomas S. Blacker, Nimit Mistry, Nicoletta Plotegher…·Michael R. Duchen

This study identifies redox-dependent binding configurations of NAD(P)H in live cells using FLIM and modeling, revealing how redox states influence fluorescence decay.

Pattern formation along signaling gradients driven by active droplet behaviour of cell groups

Hugh Z. Ford, Giulia L. Celora, Elizabeth R. Westbrook…·Jonathan Robert Chubb

The paper shows that Dictyostelium cells form swarms that behave like active droplets, leading to clump deposition and differentiation through a 'musical chairs' mechanism.

Collective signalling drives rapid jumping between cell states

Elizabeth R. Westbrook, Tchern Lenn, Jonathan Robert Chubb, Vlatka Antolović

The paper shows that collective cAMP signaling drives rapid, asynchronous cell state transitions in Dictyostelium, challenging the idea of synchronous development.
