Biophysical modeling and quantitative live-cell imaging converge to show that the century-old puzzle of somatic homolog pairing in Drosophila operates via a button model.

The evolving spatial distribution of nuclei between apical and basal surfaces of the developing retinal neuroepithelium is quantitatively described by a nonlinear diffusion equation accounting for crowding within the tissue.

First comprehensive analysis of how many different mutations combine within and between two genes to alter a molecular phenotype.

Adult spinal fracture substantially impairs subsistence productivity, particularly for men.

Like physical systems that exhibit nucleation phenomena, an invading population of a strong microbial antagonist requires a critical inoculum size to successfully invade a population of a weaker microbial antagonist.

Long-term physical exercise had a substantial effect on the plasma proteome, identifying novel exerkines and suggesting CD300LG as a potential link to insulin sensitivity.

Skeletal muscle from world-class octogenarian athletes, representing a population with very high physical function in advanced age, exhibits greater mass and strength that is associated with overrepresentation of proteins involved in mitochondrial biology and more oxidatively competent muscle fibers.

Radial plant growth produces large parts of terrestrial biomass and can be computationally simulated with the help of an instructive framework of intercellular communication loops.

The physical properties of model coacervate protocells are modulated by the activity of an RNA ligase ribozyme, which confers resistance to growth, surface wetting, and material exchange, establishing a link between RNA sequence and protocell phenotype.
