Intracellular transport is fundamental for cellular function, survival and morphogenesis.
Kinesin superfamily proteins (also known as KIFs) are important molecular motors that …

During development, mechanical forces cause changes in size, shape, number, position,
and gene expression of cells. They are therefore integral to any morphogenetic processes …

Spatially resolved transcriptomic technologies are promising tools to study complex
biological processes such as mammalian embryogenesis. However, the imbalance between …

Comparative studies on brain asymmetry date back to the 19th century but then largely
disappeared due to the assumption that lateralization is uniquely human. Since the …

The kinesin, dynein, and myosin superfamily molecular motors have fundamental roles in
neuronal function, plasticity, morphogenesis, and survival by transporting cargos such as …

Cilia are membrane-bounded, centriole-derived projections from the cell surface that contain
a microtubule cytoskeleton, the ciliary axoneme, surrounded by a ciliary membrane …

Cilia and flagella are ancient, evolutionarily conserved organelles that project from cell
surfaces to perform diverse biological roles, including whole-cell locomotion; movement of …

Essentially all organisms from bacteria to humans are mechanosensitive. Physical forces
regulate a large array of physiological processes, and dysregulation of mechanical …

In the adult brain, neuroblasts born in the subventricular zone migrate from the walls of the
lateral ventricles to the olfactory bulb. How do these cells orient over such a long distance …

Primary cilia are solitary, generally non-motile, hair-like protrusions that extend from the
surface of cells between cell divisions. Their antenna-like structure leads naturally to the …
