New work by Cédrik Barutel and Sebastian Fürthauer presents a unified theoretical framework using nonequilibrium thermodynamics to decompose crosslinker forces into entropic, active, and frictional contributions — now on arXiv.

Collaborative work with Alexander Dammermann's group (Max Perutz Labs) shows centrosomes undergo a cell-cycle-dependent mechanical softening that facilitates spindle formation.

New work from the group on conserved phase-separating nucleators in self-straining cytoskeletal networks — now on arXiv.

Collaborative paper with Amy Maddox's group on three mechanistically distinct actomyosin contractile rings coexisting in a shared cytoplasm is now published.
