Sui et al. reveal a role for extracellular matrix in restraining cell-cycle progression in late-larval-stage Drosophila wing discs through inhibiting nuclear accumulation of Yorkie.

The laws of thermodynamics don't accurately account for the complex processes in living cells – do we need a new one to accurately measure the ways living systems are out of equilibrium?

Atomic force microscope observations of dividing human cells suggest that effective temperature alone cannot reliably gauge how far a living system is from equilibrium.

Join Prof. Elisabeth Fischer-Friedrich from the Cluster of Excellence 'Physics of Life' at the Technical University Dresden, Germany, as she speaks about the role of mechanical forces in health and di...

The mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) whether full or partial, has been implicated in secondary tumor growth during metastasis. Here, we explore…
