    Epithelial cell chirality emerges through the dynamic concentric pattern of actomyosin cytoskeleton

    Takaki Yamamoto, Tomoki Ishibashi ... Tatsuo Shibata
    Molecular chirality of actomyosin induces cell-scale chiral rotation without requiring a chiral arrangement of actomyosin filaments, revealing a key mechanism of cell chirality underlying left–right asymmetric tissue development.

    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.
