Neural tube-associated boundary caps are heterogeneous with a non-neural crest-derived subpopulation that may originate from the developing meninges, which gives rise to derivatives that migrate along nerves to detach and differentiate into skin mural cells.

The action of the collagen receptor DDR2 in CAFs regulates Rap1-Talin1 mediated Integrin mechanotransduction in breast tumors to impact tumor stiffness and metastases.

Using a combination of all-atom molecular simulation and continuum membrane mechanics, M2 channels from influenza are shown to be stabilized in negative Gaussian curvature regions, such as the neck of budding viral particles, only in C2-symmetric conformations.

A new user-intervention-free classification, using single-fluorescent markers, measures conventionally unmeasureable phenotypes in early stages during clathrin-mediated endocytosis.

A smooth and circular interface can form between domains of the cell cortex from local induction of a contractile actomyosin ring by centrifugal pushing forces of an expanding Arp2/3 actin network.

A new form of brain plasticity extends the known limits for how much early sensory input can alter the brain.

CapZ controls actin filament density around immature early endosomes via its C-terminal domain to facilitate the homotypic fusion of the endocytic vesicles, and it functions as a scaffold protein via its N-terminal domain to recruit RAB5 effectors to early endosomes.

Nucleation, elasticity theory, and simulations were combined to construct a general phase diagram that elucidates the conditions for successful viral assembly and the key factors to prevent it.

Assessing plaque biomechanics by optical coherence tomography highlights the importance of the disrupting effects of plaque stress, bringing stress concentrations as the prime movers of plaque rupture back into clinical practice.

An extended border coding circuit across the entorhinal and retrosplenial cortex incorporates self-referenced and viewpoint-invariant boundary information to guide navigation behavior.
