TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method for measuring and evaluating the shapes of microtubule bundles, by characterizing them in terms of their curvature and twist, was described, which is valuable for the understanding of forces that act on chromosomes during mitosis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the degree of truncation decreases with increasing energy and point out that at the level of a sufficiently fine precision technique, the truncated fractality acts as a smooth (nonfractal) structure, leading to predictability, but at a lower level of precision it is effectively fractal, limiting the predictability of the long term behaviour of biological systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the coe−cients Ak of angles µk, corresponding to the minima of light intensity in the difiraction by a circular aperture, can successfully be described by a function which appears in the electrostatic interaction energy between two uniform surface-charged spheres.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that microtubules from each pole search for those from the opposite pole by performing random angular movement, which is interpreted as the action of minus end directed Cut7/kinesin-5 motors.

TL;DR: For linearly coupled double-well oscillators the regularity transition is found as discussed by the authors, where an incomplete KAM scenario develops with increasing energy, from integrable pattern comprising in-phase and out-of-phase small elliptic orbits towards a partial chaos, with a deformed regular island immersed in a chaotic sea. At a critical energy a new deformed island appears as a mirror image.
