    Zinc is a key regulator of the sperm-specific K+ channel (Slo3) function

    Rizki Tsari Andriani, Tanadet Pipatpolkai ... Takafumi Kawai
    Intracellular zinc dynamically changes during sperm capacitation and regulates Slo3-mediated hyperpolarization, while directly inhibiting Slo3 currents through residues contributing to its slow dissociation.

    Tau hyperphosphorylation impairs cooperative binding to microtubules and perturbs organelle trafficking in neurons

    Daniel Beaudet, Christopher L Berger, Adam G Hendricks
    Single-molecule motility assays and live-cell imaging in neurons reveal that tau hyperphosphorylation disrupts the formation of cooperative tau envelopes along microtubules and lysosomal transport.

    Sarcomere dynamic instability and stochastic heterogeneity drive robust cardiomyocyte contraction

    Daniel Haertter, Lara Hauke ... Christoph F Schmidt
    A non-monotonic force–velocity relationship in cardiac sarcomeres causes dynamic instability, leading to stochastic heterogeneity in contracting cardiomyocytes, which can have a protective function.
