State-dependent energy conversion produces degenerate dissipation in active actomyosin networks

Zachary Gao Sun, Juanjuan Zheng, A. Pasha Tabatabai…·Michael P. Murrell

The paper shows that energy dissipation in active actomyosin networks depends on mechanical state rather than motor abundance, revealing degenerate dissipation through state-dependent energy conversion.

Caging of membrane-to-cortex attachment proteins can trigger cellular symmetry breaking

Srishti Dar, Rubén Tesoro Moreno, Ivan Palaia…·Alba Diz-Muñoz

The paper shows how caging of MCA proteins can amplify changes in membrane viscosity and protein length, leading to symmetry breaking in cellular mechanics.
