Examining the assembly pathways and active microtubule mechanics underlying spindle self-organization
Lucan Yan, Tatsuya Fukuyama, Megumi Yamaoka +2
The bipolar organization of the microtubule-based mitotic spindle is essential for the faithful segregation of chromosomes in cell division. Despite our extensive knowledge of gene…
Why epithelial cells collectively move against a traveling signal wave
Tatsuya Fukuyama, Hiroyuki Ebata, Akihisa Yamamoto +6
The response of cell populations to external stimuli plays a central role in biological mechanical processes such as epithelial wound healing and developmental morphogenesis. Wave-…
Randomness and optimality in enhanced DNA ligation with crowding effects
Takaharu Y. Shiraki, Ken-ichiro Kamei, Yusuke T. Maeda
Enzymatic ligation is essential for the synthesis of long DNA. However, the number of ligated products exponentially decays as the DNA synthesis proceeds in a random manner. The co…
