TL;DR: A novel in vivo assay based on particle tracking microrheology whereby the extent and time-lag dependence of the mean squared displacements of thermally excited nanoparticles embedded within the cytoplasm of developing embryos reflect local viscoelastic properties support the hypothesis that the asymmetric positioning of the mitotic spindle stems from an asymmetric distribution of elementary force generators.

TL;DR: Using computational modeling, it is shown that Z-ring formation results from the colocalization of FTSZ and FtsA mediated by the favorable alignment of FtsZ polymers, and shows that organisms can exploit microphase transitions to generate mechanical forces.

TL;DR: It is shown that the two subunits of asialoglycoprotein receptor can assemble into both homo- and hetero-oligomeric complexes, displaying three forms with distinct ligand specificities that coexist on the plasma membrane.

TL;DR: A sub-millimeter, inductively powered neural stimulator consisting only of a coil to receive power, a capacitor to tune the resonant frequency of the receiver, and a diode to rectify the radio-frequency signal to produce neural excitation is presented.
