Developmentally programmed changes in cytoplasmic mechanics revealed by active microrheology in C. elegans embryos

Saaya Koizumi, Ayama Tokuyasu, Akinori W. M. Miyamoto…·Akatsuki Kimura

The paper measures cytoplasmic mechanics in C. elegans embryos and finds a progressive stiffening that persists despite inhibited cytokinesis.

Active fluctuations of cytoplasmic actomyosin networks facilitate dynein-driven intracellular transport along microtubules

Takayuki Torisawa, Kei Saito, Ken’ya Furuta, Akatsuki Kimura

This study shows that cytoplasmic actomyosin fluctuations enhance dynein-driven transport in C. elegans embryos by accelerating motor-cargo movement through asymmetric force responses.
