Scaling behaviour and control of nuclear wrinkling
The cell nucleus is enveloped by a complex membrane, whose wrinkling has been implicated in disease and cellular aging. The biophysical dynamics and spectral evolution of nuclear wrinkling during multicellular...

Open AccessPolarized branched Actin modulates cortical mechanics to produce unequal-size daughters during asymmetric division
The control of cell shape during cytokinesis requires a precise regulation of mechanical properties of the cell cortex. Only few studies have addressed the mechanisms underlying the robust production of unequa...

Odd dynamics of living chiral crystals
Active crystals are highly ordered structures that emerge from the self-organization of motile objects, and have been widely studied in synthetic1,2 and bacterial3,4 active matter. Whether persistent crystalline...

Attachment of the blastoderm to the vitelline envelope affects gastrulation of insects
During gastrulation, physical forces reshape the simple embryonic tissue to form the complex body plans of multicellular organisms1. These forces often cause large-scale asymmetric movements of the embryonic tiss...

Real-time deformability cytometry: on-the-fly cell mechanical phenoty**
Real-time deformability cytometry allows the continuous mechanical characterization of cells with high throughput and is applied to distinguish cell-cycle phases, track differentiated cells and profile cell po...
