The mechanical properties of cells are important in tissue homeostasis and enable cell
growth, division, migration and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Mechanical properties …

This review examines the biological physics of intracellular transport probed by the coherent
optics of dynamic light scattering from optically thick living tissues. Cells and their …

To initiate directed movement, cells must become polarized, establishing a protrusive
leading edge and a contractile trailing edge. This symmetry-breaking process involves …

This study aims at demonstrating label-free drug-response-patterns assessment of different
tumor spheroids and drug types by dynamic optical coherence tomography (D-OCT). The …

Microtubules (MTs) are hollow cytoskeletons with typically 15 nm inner diameter, which are
crucial for various cellular activities including structural support, transport, and cell division …

Centrioles are microtubule-based cell organelles present in most eukaryotes. They
participate in the control of cell division as part of the centrosome, the major microtubule …

During cell division, chromosome segregation is orchestrated by a microtubule-based
spindle. Interaction between spindle microtubules and kinetochores is central to the bi …

Purpose: Chondrocytes (CHs) in cartilage undergo several detrimental events during the
development of osteoarthritis (OA). However, the mechanism underlying CHs regeneration …

Cytoplasmic microtubule arrays play important and diverse roles within fungal cells,
including serving as molecular highways for motor-driven organelle motility. While the …

Background The cytoskeleton is a key component of the system responsible for transmitting
mechanical cues from the cellular environment to the nucleus, where they trigger …
