Proteins of the intermediate filament (IF) supergene family are ubiquitous structural
components that comprise, in a cell type–specific manner, the cytoskeleton proper in animal …

This is an overview of theoretical approaches to semiflexible polymers and their networks.
Such semiflexible polymers have large bending rigidities that can compete with the entropic …

The molecular organization of eukaryotic nuclear volumes remains largely unexplored. Here
we combined recent developments in cryo–electron tomography (cryo-ET) to produce three …

In recent years, DNA has emerged as a fascinating building material to engineer hydrogel
due to its excellent programmability, which has gained considerable attention in biomedical …

In evergreen tropical forests, the extent, magnitude, and controls on photosynthetic
seasonality are poorly resolved and inadequately represented in Earth system models …

Intermediate filaments (IFs) constitute a major structural element of animal cells. They build
two distinct systems, one in the nucleus and one in the cytoplasm. In both cases, their major …

▪ Abstract The superfamily of intermediate filament (IF) proteins contains at least 65 distinct
proteins in man, which all assemble into∼ 10 nm wide filaments and are principal structural …

Mechanically induced signal transduction has an essential role in development. Cells
actively transduce and respond to mechanical signals and their internal architecture must …

The internal design of DNA nanostructures defines how they behave in different
environmental conditions, such as endonuclease‐rich or low‐Mg2+ solutions. Notably, the …

Morphogenesis during embryo development requires the coordination of mechanical forces
to generate the macroscopic shapes of organs. We propose a minimal theoretical model …
