The secreted toxin mycolactone has severe effects on the cells lining blood vessels that will play a critical role in the development of swelling in Buruli ulcer disease.

Specific to muscles and essential for their development, desmin is revealed to be fundamental to the mechanics and shape maintenance of model muscle tissue even in early differentiating and unorganized systems through an integrated magnetic tensiometer approach.

Combining global and local force measurements of reconstituted muscle tissue using a new chamber system that is compatible with high-resolution microscopy shows mechanical homeostasis already within a week.

Flatworm regeneration of lost tissue relies on a mechanism distinct from that used for routine tissue turnover.

Mechanical stress promotes the expression of the homeobox gene and meristem master regulator STM, synergistically and independently from auxin depletion.

Extraembryonic tissue spreading in the scuttle fly Megaselia abdita requires mechanical decoupling from the underlying yolk sac.

Hemoglobin affinity and cooperativity reveal mechanistic insights in how the relation between physiology and evolutionary variations shape a protein's molecular property.

In the Arabidopsis ovule primordium, germinal fate plasticity is coupled to the morphogenetic processes shaping the organ.

Cell movement toward and away from the midline of an epithelium over tens of hours are caused by spontaneous or externally-applied shear forces to eliminate force imbalances within the tissue.

Human cardiac fibroblasts regulate their cellular responses according to the combination of multiple environmental stimuli namely oxygen changes and mechanical signals.
