The Atr-Chek1 pathway inhibits axon regeneration in response to Piezo-dependent mechanosensation

The Atr-Check1 pathway is involved in cell cycle and the DNA damage response. Here, the authors show that the Atr-Check1 pathway can inhibit axon regeneration in response to Piezo-mediated mechanosensation, affecting functional recovery.

Compressive tumours cause neuronal damage

By compressing blood vessels and neurons, globular tumours in the brain can cause neuronal damage, which can be partially reversed by relieving the stress via tumour removal or by administering lithium.

Holding it together in the eye

To form tissues, like cells must clump together. The striking resemblance between one cell aggregate in flies and a cluster of soap bubbles points to a crucial role for surface mechanics in biological pattern formation.

Spotted vesicles, striped micelles and Janus assemblies induced by ligand binding

Controlled domain formation in block copolymer mixtures or lipid bilayers could lead to more highly ordered assemblies and delivery of drugs. It is now shown that mesoscale domain formation within assembled mixtures of neutral and anionic polymer amphiphiles can be induced by the divalent cations calcium and copper.

Emergence of tissue-like mechanics from fibrous networks confined by close-packed cells

Tissue rheology emerges from the interplay between fibrous networks and cell inclusions, and the mechanical properties of tissues are modulated by restricting the relaxation modes of fibres close to volume-conserving cells.

Control of cell morphology and differentiation by substrates with independently tunable elasticity and viscous dissipation

Purely elastic biomimetic soft materials are used to characterize the mechanical response of cells, but do not resemble real tissues. Here the authors develop a viscoelastic solid hydrogel, based on polyacrylamide, that can be tuned to closely resemble soft tissue, and show the influence of viscous dissipation on cellular mechanical sensing.

Vimentin is a key regulator of cell mechanosensing through opposite actions on actomyosin and microtubule networks

Vimentin tunes cell stress by assisting in both actomyosin force transmission and reinforcement of microtubule networks under compression. The competition between these two opposing effects of vimentin is regulated by the microenvironment stiffness.

The mystery of membrane organization: composition, regulation and roles of lipid rafts

Lipid rafts are relatively ordered membrane domains that are enriched in cholesterol and saturated lipids, and selectively recruit other lipids and proteins. They are dynamic and heterogeneous in composition and are thus challenging to visualizein vivo. New technologies are providing novel insights into the formation, organization and functions of these membrane domains.
