Recently, the steady sedimentation profile of a dilute suspension of chemically powered
colloids was studied experimentally [J. Palacci et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 088304 (2010)]. It …

Cells migrate through a crowded environment during processes such as metastasis or
wound healing, and must generate and withstand substantial forces. The cellular motility …

Mutations causing aberrant splicing are frequently implicated in human diseases including
cancer. Here, we establish a high-throughput screen of randomly mutated minigenes to …

Systemic iron levels must be maintained in physiological concentrations to prevent diseases
associated with iron deficiency or iron overload. A key role in this process plays ferroportin, …

Following CART-19 immunotherapy for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL),
many patients relapse due to loss of the cognate CD19 epitope. Since epitope loss can be …

We propose a mathematical model for simulating the leading-edge dynamics of a migrating
cell from the interplay among elastic properties, architecture of the actin cytoskeleton, and …

We present a model for actin-based motility that combines the dynamics of the semiflexible
region at the leading edge of the lamellipodium with actomyosin gel properties in the bulk …

Alternative splicing is an important step in eukaryotic mRNA pre-processing which increases
the complexity of gene expression programs, but is frequently altered in disease. Previous …

Propulsion by actin polymerization is widely used in cell motility. Here, we investigate a
model of the brush range of an actin gel close to a propelled object, describing the force …

Membrane waves propagating along the cell circumference in a top down view have been
observed with several eukaryotic cells (Döbereiner et al 2006 Phys. Rev. Lett. 97 10; …
