We review recent evidence showing that cell and tissue dynamics are governed by
mesoscale physical principles. These principles can be understood in terms of simple state …

Ciliogenesis is a complex multistep process used to describe assembly of cilia and flagella.
These organelles play essential roles in motility and signaling on the surface of cells. Cilia …

Listeria monocytogenes is a food‐borne bacterium that causes gastroenteritis, meningitis, or
abortion. L. monocytogenes induces its internalization (entry) into human cells and either …

Actin filament assembly typically occurs in association with cellular membranes. A large
number of proteins sit at the interface between actin networks and membranes, playing …

B lymphocytes recognize bacterial or viral antigens via different classes of the B cell antigen
receptor (BCR). Protrusive structures termed microvilli cover lymphocyte surfaces, and are …

Signal transduction proteins containing a pLxIS motif induce interferon (IFN) responses
central to antiviral immunity. Apart from their established roles in activating the IFN regulator …

Dendritic spines are small, bulbous protrusions along neuronal dendrites where most of the
excitatory synapses are located. Dendritic spine density in normal human brain increases …

Eukaryotic cells possess a remarkably diverse range of organelles that provide
compartmentalization for distinct cellular functions and are likely responsible for the …

Background Membrane-bound intracellular organelles have characteristic shapes attributed
to different local membrane curvatures, and these attributes are conserved across species …

Cellular membranes are highly dynamic in shape. They can rapidly and precisely regulate
their shape to perform various cellular functions. The protein's ability to sense membrane …
