TL;DR: This work provides the first direct in vivo observation of self-organized dynamic dynein distributions, which, owing to the intrinsic motor properties, generate regular large-scale movements in the cell.

TL;DR: A generic hydrodynamic theory of active fluids with several components that takes into account polar order and considers the case when one component is viscoelastic.

TL;DR: A simple scenario is proposed that combines time-dependent cell bond tension at the boundary, oriented cell division, and cell elongation in the tissue that can account for the main features of the dynamics of the shape of the dorsoventral compartment boundary.

TL;DR: A theoretical study of the coupling between helicase translocation and duplex unwinding is presented and an optimal choice of interaction potential leads to a helicase which can unwind NA as rapidly as it translocates on single strands.

TL;DR: It is found that ectopic expression of transcription factors that specify cell fates causes abnormal epithelial cysts in Drosophila imaginal discs and increased interface contractility functions as error correction mechanism eliminating single aberrant cells from tissues, but failure leads to the formation of large, potentially disease-promoting cysts.
