Carbon Dots (CDs) are carbon nanoparticles which were discovered in 2004. Despite two
decades of intensive work from the scientific community and a colossal amount of gathered …

Membrane tension is thought to be a long-range integrator of cell physiology. Membrane
tension has been proposed to enable cell polarity during migration through front-back …

How local interactions of actin regulators yield large-scale organization of cell shape and
movement is not well understood. Here we investigate how the WAVE complex organizes sheet…

Migratory cells use distinct motility modes to navigate different microenvironments, but it is
unclear whether these modes rely on the same core set of polarity components. To investigate …

By acting both upstream of and downstream from biochemical organizers of the cytoskeleton,
physical forces function as central integrators of cell shape and movement. Here we use a …

Effective internal and external cooling of airfoils is key to maintaining component life for
efficient gas turbines. Cooling designs have spanned the range from simple internal convective …

The ability to rapidly assemble and prototype cellular circuits is vital for biological research
and its applications in biotechnology and medicine. Current methods for the assembly of …

T cells use kinetic proofreading to discriminate antigens by converting small changes in
antigen-binding lifetime into large differences in cell activation, but where in the signaling …

To migrate efficiently, neutrophils must polarize their cytoskeletal regulators along a single
axis of motion. This polarization process is thought to be mediated through local positive …

Membrane tension is thought to be a long-range integrator of cell physiology. This role
necessitates effective tension transmission across the cell. However, the field remains strongly …
