A functional link between the actin cytoskeleton and lipid rafts during budding of filamentous influenza virions [PDF]
Morphogenesis of influenza virus is a poorly understood process that produces two types of enveloped virion: ∼100-nm spheres and similar diameter filaments that reach 20 μm in length.

Endocytic recycling and vesicular transport systems mediate transcytosis of Leptospira interrogans across cell monolayer. [PDF]
Many bacterial pathogens can cause septicemia and spread from the bloodstream into internal organs. During leptospirosis, individuals are infected by contact with Leptospira-containing animal urine-contaminated water.

A permeabilized cell model for studying cell division: a comparison of anaphase chromosome movement and cleavage furrow constriction in lysed PtK1 cells. [PDF]
After lysis in a Brij 58-polyethylene glycol medium, PtK1 cells are permeable to small molecules, such as erythrosin B, and to proteins, such as rhodamine-labeled FAB, myosin subfragment-1, and tubulin.

Bioelectronic Hydrogels: Exemplifying the Synergy Between Biopolymers and Conjugated Polymers
This review aims to highlight the benefits of biopolymer‐based conductive hydrogels as soft bioelectronics for biointerface applications. Biopolymers deliver biocompatibility, commercial availability, low cost, and sustainability, whereas conjugated polymers provide electronic conductivity.

Kinesin‐Driven De‐Mixing of Cytoskeleton Composites Drives Emergent Mechanical Properties
Optical tweezers microrheology and fluorescence microscopy is coupled with simulations and mathematical modeling to discover that active cytoskeleton composites exhibit a rich ensemble of emergent mechanical response characteristics, from yielding to stiffening, governed by kinesin‐driven restructuring from well‐mixed interpenetrating double‐networks ...
