    Actin Filaments: Building bundles by the numbers

    Christian Vanhille-Campos, Anđela Šarić
    The size and shape of cytoskeletal bundles, essential regulators of cell function, emerge from collective filament assembly rather than precise size-control mechanisms.

    Quantifying intracellular mechanosensitive response upon spatially defined mechano-chemical triggering

    Elaheh Zare-Eelanjegh, Renard TM Lewis ... Tomaso Zambelli
    Cellular mechanotransmission depends on nuclear lamina composition, where A-type and B-type lamins define distinct nuclear mechanical responses, and microtubules dynamically buffer intracellular tension.
