Kinesin‐Induced Buckling Reveals the Limits of Microtubule Self‐Repair
Advanced ScienceMicrotubules are stiff cytoskeletal polymers whose ability to rapidly switch between growth and disassembly relies on a metastable lattice. This metastability is also reflected in their sensitivity to environmental conditions and in intrinsic lattice ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

The human gut microbiome across the life course
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Multi‐state photoluminescent properties of an overcrowded alkene‐based molecular motor in aggregates
AggregatePhotoisomerization and photoluminescence are two distinct energy dissipation pathways in light‐driven molecular motors. The photoisomerization properties of discrete molecular motors have been well established in solution, but their photoluminescent ...

Cooperative behavior of molecular motors
, 2002 Both experimental evidence and theoretical models for collective effects in the working mechanism of molecular motors are reviewed at three different levels, namely: (i) interaction between the two heads of double-headed motors, particularly in ...

Self-repair protects microtubules from destruction by molecular motors
, 2020 International audienceMicrotubule instability stems from the low energy of tubulin dimer interactions, which sets the growing polymer close to its disassembly conditions.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...
