Enantiornithine birds reached similar dietary diversity to modern birds in a similar amount of time many millions of years earlier, but how exactly they did that requires further research.

Theoretical models and experimental results reveal how the optimal integration of gravity cues fine tunes movement kinematics so that motor effort is minimized in the ubiquitous gravity field.

TRUST, as a rapid and fully automated whole-organ imaging technique, enables high-resolution multicolor 3D imaging at low cost by using a UV-LED for widefield illumination and a color camera while relieving researchers from lengthy and laborious tissue processing protocols.

A biomechanical approach inducing confined cell migration reveals that mechanical stress has a profound effect on cancer cell survival.

A new method is described to apply rapid and uniform mechanical forces to vestibular and cochlear hair cells.

The MIDAS domain of Mdn1, an ATP-driven mechanoenzyme involved in ribosome biogenesis, forms catch bonds with two different ubiquitin-like domain-containing ribosomal assembly factors.

Tensile stress patterns in tissues are revealed by cell-cell adhesion defects; in turn, cell responses to supracellular tension require cell-cell adhesion.

Despite lacking traditional ganglia or centralization, the Hydra nervous system computes sensorimotor responses via localized neuron ensembles.

Three dimensional reconstructions of the mechanical energy stores of jumping insects reveal how the miniaturized components interact and function.

The integrated quantification of spontaneous dynamic cell-cell force transmissions at both multi-cellular and subcellular scales enables spatiotemporal correlations of stress distribution with biomolecules in small cell clusters.
