The paper uses super-resolution microscopy to analyze NPC distribution on the nuclear envelope, finding repulsion lengths, actin, heterochromatin, and curvature correlations.

This paper introduces two mechanical setups to measure the elasto-viscoplastic properties of growing root hairs in Arabidopsis thaliana, confirming their axial stiffness and turgor pressure dependence.

This paper develops a novel protocol to measure root hair growth mechanics under force, validating the Lockhart viscoplastic model and estimating turgor pressure and cell wall viscosity in Arabidopsis.

This study shows that focal adhesion density remains constant across different cell sizes and geometries, adapting through changes in cell shape and contact area.

The paper shows that vimentin absence in glioblastoma cells affects nuclear mechanotransduction, DNA damage response, and cell survival under stress.

This study quantifies how cell shape influences cortical tension anisotropy by separating contributions from bundled and unbundled actin structures.

This study shows that lamin protein levels correlate with glioblastoma aggressiveness, affecting nuclear mechanics and cell behavior.
