A large body of evidence indicates that single cells in vitro respond to changes in gravity, and
that this response might play an important role for physiological changes at the organism …

Theory predicts that the approach of catastrophic thresholds in natural systems (eg,
ecosystems, the climate) may result in an increasingly slow recovery from small perturbations, a …

Phagocytosis is a widespread and evolutionarily conserved process with diverse biological
functions, ranging from engulfment of invading microbes during infection to clearance of …

… At 3 d after infection we selected with 1 μg ml –1 puromycin for U937s and 10 μg ml –1
puromycin for RAW 264.7 cells for 5 d. In cases where single-cell clonal knockout lines were …

Phagocytosis triggered by the phospholipid phosphatidylserine (PS) is key for the removal
of apoptotic cells in development, tissue homeostasis and infection. Modulation of PS-…

… d Spherical harmonic power spectrum indicating the power of the distance to the centroid
over the particle surface per degree l (summed over orders m) for 7 particles; colors indicate …

… the DNA stiffness, the measured FD curve will be a linear combination of a FD curve of a
saturated DNA molecule (d saturated (F)) and a FD curve of a bare DNA molecule (d bare (F)). …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are widely studied regarding their role in cell-to-cell communication
and disease, as well as for applications as biomarkers or drug delivery vehicles. EVs …

Nanovesicles (∼100 nm) are ubiquitous in cell biology and an important vector for drug
delivery. Mechanical properties of vesicles are known to influence cellular uptake, but the …

Phagocytosis requires rapid actin reorganization and spatially controlled force generation to
ingest targets ranging from pathogens to apoptotic cells. How actomyosin activity directs …
