This study shows that transcription of ribosomal RNA actively drives nucleolar assembly in C. elegans embryos, explaining rapid kinetics and scaling with nuclear volume.

This study develops a computational model to show how cofilin-dependent severing and nucleotide state influence actin filament length distributions and structural heterogeneity.

The paper compares monomer loss and severing as disassembly mechanisms in filament and bundle assembly, showing severing accelerates assembly and enables precise size control.

This paper shows the limiting-pool mechanism cannot control lengths of multiple filamentous structures sharing a common subunit pool, leading to size fluctuations and one dominant structure.
