Time-resolved scattering uncovers how enzymatic activity redirects the assembly pathway of biomolecular condensates, creating distinct internal structures and dynamics.

Plants may not have to choose between selfing and outcrossing: a biophysical evolutionary model reveals a persistent mixed-mating state whose composition continues to fluctuate without settling—even in an unchanging environment—and predicts, counterintuitively, that pollen scarcity can favor self-incompatibility.

By combining experiments and theory, this study establishes condensate-mediated capillary forces as a distinct mechanism for microtubule bundling.

Schooling fish coordinate their motion with a single dynamically selected neighbor—the one exerting the strongest influence, not necessarily the closest one.

The actin cortex stays rigid and retains elastic memory not by staying still but by continuously remodeling itself, recycling its components in response to mechanical forces.

Fluctuations are more than noise—they provide a window into the energy landscape and friction governing the bacterial flagellar motor.

By mapping sparse observations to prototypical behaviors, this equation-free framework identifies driving marker genes and traces cell-cycle trajectories directly from high-dimensional single-cell gene expression data.

Translation is more than making proteins—it can actively drive their localization to biomolecular condensates as they emerge from polysomes.

Material renewal stabilizes defects that organize active stress in cells and tissues.

A self-consistent training framework that learns residue-residue interactions in proteins bridges sequence statistics and physically modeled interaction energies.

By increasing their motility nonlinearly in response to competitor density, interacting microbial populations spontaneously segregate to form emergent spatial patterns that sustain long-term coexistence.

Mechanics plays a crucial role in the formation of the head-foot axis in Hydra, where contractile muscle fibers and the topology of nematic defects concentrate stress to generate the strain and pressure asymmetries needed for head and foot formation.
