    Impacts of structural properties of myosin II filaments on force generation

    Shihang Ding, Pei-En Chou ... Taeyoon Kim
    Forces generated by the actin cytoskeleton are highly dependent on the structural properties of molecular motors called myosin.

    An Hfq-dependent post-transcriptional mechanism fine tunes RecB expression in Escherichia coli

    Irina Kalita, Ira Alexandra Iosub ... Meriem El Karoui
    Single-molecule mRNA and protein quantification, combined with stochastic modelling, uncover a post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism that controls the expression of the extremely low-abundance DNA double-strand break repair enzyme RecBCD.

    Optimal information gain at the onset of habituation to repeated stimuli

    Giorgio Nicoletti, Matteo Bruzzone ... Daniel Maria Busiello
    The onset of habituation phenomena enables accurate processing of external stimuli when biological systems adapt their parameters to balance dissipation and the information between input and response.

    Balancing reaction-diffusion network for cell polarization pattern with stability and asymmetry

    Yixuan Chen, Guoye Guan ... Chao Tang
    Reaction-diffusion network modeling unveils general design principles that both stabilize cell polarization patterns and enable tunable interface localization, reconciling extensive experimental observations and deepening the understanding of asymmetric cell division.

    Cellular coordination underpins rapid reversals in gliding filamentous cyanobacteria and its loss results in plectonemes

    Jerko Rosko, Rebecca N Poon ... Orkun S Soyer
    Gliding multicellular cyanobacteria results from cellular coordination, the loss of which results in the collapse of orderly back-and-forth movement of filaments and in filament buckling.
