Cell migration is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that underlies the development
and functioning of uni‐and multicellular organisms and takes place in normal and …

Recently, there has been a surge in the number of pioneering studies combining
experiments with quantitative modeling to explain both relatively simple modules of …

Molecular communication is a new paradigm for communication between biological
nanomachines over a nano-and microscale range. As biological nanomachines (or …

Microtubules (MTs) play roles in regulating the mechanical structure and dynamics of cells.
While MTs appear to be highly ordered structures, recent data suggest some randomness in …

The purpose of this review is to explore self-organizing mechanisms that pattern
microtubules (MTs) and spatially organize animal cell cytoplasm, inspired by recent …

Microtubules confined to the two-dimensional cortex of elongating plant cells must form a
parallel yet dispersed array transverse to the elongation axis for proper cell wall expansion …

The centrosome position in many types of interphase cells is actively maintained in the cell
center. Our previous work indicated that the centrosome is kept at the center by pulling force …

The cellular cytoskeleton is well studied in terms of its biological and physical properties,
making it an attractive subject for systems approaches. Here, we describe the experimental …

Transformation of a transected axonal tip into a growth cone (GC) is a critical step in the
cascade leading to neuronal regeneration. Critical to the regrowth is the supply and …

Assembly of an integral Golgi complex is driven by microtubule (MT)-dependent transport.
Conversely, the Golgi itself functions as an unconventional MT-organizing center (MTOC) …
