This paper develops a framework for using standard pyramidal AFM probes to measure frequency-dependent mechanical properties of cells, validating it with hydrogels and cytoskeletal inhibitor-treated cells.

The paper introduces POMPOMS, a method to create multifunctional protein microparticles by crosslinking biomolecular condensates, demonstrating controlled size and three functionalities.

The paper identifies ACP1 and AURKB as regulators of cortactin-driven actin remodeling in glioblastoma invasion using CRISPRi screens in 3D hydrogels.

The paper investigates how neurofilament tail sequence and phosphorylation affect protein brush conformation using reconstituted brushes and theoretical models.

This study shows that high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid hydrogels promote faster glioblastoma cell invasion with leader-follower dynamics compared to low-molecular-weight HA hydrogels.

This study identifies collagen VI secretion by glioma cells as a mechanism to remodel the microenvironment and promote invasion, particularly in bevacizumab-resistant tumors.
