The power of ionic movements in plants
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2232-2240, March 2026.Summary The movement of ion‐driven electrogenic events known as plant action potentials in the Venus flytrap Dionaea muscipula has first been recognized in Darwin's time. Besides electrophysiological techniques making use of current‐ and voltage‐recording electrodes, today an ever‐growing spectrum of tools has become available, that report online ...

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.(A) CD47, acting in a cis‐manner with integrins, promotes myoblast fusion. TSP‐1 serves as a bridging molecule for these proteins to recognize PS on the surface of the other fusing myoblasts. (B) Blocking of these signals by neutralizing antibodies reduces cell fusion. Inhibition of PIEZO1 activity by constantly expressed PS on apoptotic cells leads to

The foundations of cross-modal plasticity
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2016 Cross-modal plasticity is a striking adaptive feature of the brain, whereby the loss of one sensory modality induces cortical reorganization that leads to enhanced sensory performance in remaining modalities.

WNK1 Kinase Activity Is Required for the Functional Maintenance of Podocyte Structure
The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.The acute effects of WNK1 kinase inhibition on podocyte structure and function were determined at the level of: 1) renal function, by measurements of urinary protein and imaging of glomerular synaptopodin, 2) podocyte cell, by measurements and localization of actomyosin proteins and their regulators, and 3) focal adhesions at cell membrane extensions ...

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.This work shows, for the first time, that the stereocilia membrane in cochlear hair cells is dynamically regulated by the mechanotransduction channel to impact the membrane mechanical properties. This work provides direct evidence that the opening and closing associated with the MET channel is regulating the membrane viscosity suggesting that the MET ...

Receptor-mediated cell mechanosensing
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2017 Mechanosensing describes the ability of a cell to sense mechanical cues of its microenvironment, including not only all components of force, stress, and strain but also substrate rigidity, topology, and adhesiveness. This ability is crucial for the cell to respond to the surrounding mechanical cues and adapt to the changing environment.

Transcriptional Adaptations to Muscle Loading in a Murine Model of Achilles Tendinopathy
Journal of Orthopaedic Research, Volume 44, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Achilles tendinopathy limits mobility and decreases quality of life. Physical therapy (eccentric muscle loading) improves tendon function; however, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. This study investigated the effect of load magnitude and treatment duration in a mouse Achilles tendinopathy model.
