Preprints:

Cell organelles and organisation

MAP4-MAP7D1 partitioning on tyrosinated-detyrosinated microtubules coordinates lysosome positioning in nutrient signalling

Deepak M. Khushalani, Joydipta Kar, Satya Bikash Nayak, Subhash Chandra Chaudhary, Nitin Mohan

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.07.680844v1

This study investigates the link between microtubule post-translational modification (PTM), associated proteins (MAPs) and their effect on kinesin motors. The authors find that between nutrient starvation and stimulation, microtubule PTMs differ, causing differential association of MAPs, thereby determining which kinesins associate. This ultimately defines where lysosomes are positioned within the cell during nutrient stress.

Elevation of the mechanically-sensitive protein emerin links nuclear mechanotransduction to tau-induced cytoskeletal remodeling in neurons

Claira Sohn, Sammy Pardo, Dana Molleur, Satvik R Paduri, Morgan Lambert, Morgan G Thomas, Erich J Sohn, Susan T Weintraub, Bess Frost

https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.10.15.682650

This study sheds light on mechanical dysfunctions in tauopathy, where pathological tau deposition alters neuronal integrity. The authors reveal a new function for emerin, showing that the elevation of emerin expression in neurons can alter nuclear mechanotrasduction through nuclear envelope invagination and nuclear-to-cytosolic localization.

The Rhizarian amoeba Filoreta ramosa develops a neuron-like arborized network using conserved cytoskeletal mechanisms

Sarah L. Guest, Scott C. Dawson

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.24.684464v1

The authors of this preprint investigate the cytoskeletal architecture of the amoeba Filoreta ramosa. This amoeba sends out multiple projections which can be dynamically remodelled. The authors find that these projections depend on both the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons for directed transport, their formation and their remodelling, closely mirroring the development and dynamism of neuronal projections despite 1.2 billion years of evolutionary separation.

Species-specific basal fluidization shapes early forebrain development

Shuting Xu, Guanlin Li, Michaela Wilsch-Bräuninger, Vikas Trivedi, Otger Campàs, Miki Ebisuya

https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.10.07.680907

This preprint highlights a novel physical mechanism underlying forebrain development, drawing a fascinating comparison between humans and gorillas. The authors identify differences in tissue fluidity within the embryonic neuroepithelium as a potential regulatory factor for the emergence of size differences in the brain. Specifically, they show that in humans, nuclei exhibit greater displacement and directional fluctuation within the epithelium than in gorillas, owing to intrinsically larger intercellular spaces. This increased tissue fluidity facilitates additional cellular rearrangements during early forebrain development, likely explaining species-specific forebrain expansion.

Cortical microtubules act as a template to organize nano-scale patterning of exocytosis

Jelmer J. Lindeboom, Ryan Gutierrez, Viktor Kirik, David W. Ehrhardt

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.12.01.626273v4

The authors of this preprint investigate the influence of microtubule organisation on endocytosis positioning. Interestingly, they find that endocytosis is enriched near non-centrosomal cortical microtubules, suggesting that they spatially define where endocytosis occurs. This type of non-centrosomal microtubule organisation is well-conserved as may be its governance of endocytosis positioning.

Mechanosignaling and mechanotransduction

Matrix stiffness induces endothelial network senescence

Jiyeon Song, Alexandra N. Rindone, Ya Guan, Prarthana Sanjay Daswani, Jennifer H. Elisseeff, Sharon Gerecht

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.05.680536v1

Here, the authors develop a 3D human in vitro model which decouples ECM stress and biochemical contributions. Their results demonstrate that ECM stress induces an endothelial senescence phenotype (elevated p16/p21 and a SASP) via a novel Notch-JNK-FOS signaling axis.

Drak is a potential mechanotransduction partner of Filamin

Riku O. Korkiamäki, Chandan Thapa, Hannah J. Green, Jari Ylänne

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.24.684132v1

Filamin (actin cross-linker) is a mechanosensing protein, able to initiate a signaling cascade resulting in biochemical transformations. In this preprint, the authors demonstrate that Drosophila Filamin binds and regulates the kinase Drak upon changes in mechanical force. This newly uncovered mechanotransduction signalling pathway tweaks myosin activity during tissue development.

Cell cycle and division

Non-canonical cytokinesis driven by mechanical uncoupling via nematic flows and adhesion-based invagination

Xin Tong, Yuting I. Li, Joséphine Schelle, Edouard Hannezo, Carl-Philipp Heisenberg

https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.10.15.682552

The preprint introduces a novel mechanism of meroblastic cleavage that influences cytokinesis in zebrafish. The authors demonstrate that efficient and sustained furrow progression during cleavage is driven by the coordinated contraction of actomyosin cables, facilitated by Cadherin (Cdh1)-mediated membrane adhesion.

Selected by: Sristilekha Nath

Cell migration

Mechanical polarity links adhesion-tuned protrusions to directional stability in glioblastoma cell migration

Haruna Tagawa, Daisuke Kanematsu, Asako Katsuma, Naoyuki Inagaki, Yonehiro Kanemura, Yuichi Sakumura

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.23.684087v1

The authors of this preprint describe how glioblastoma invasion stability is determined by the extracellular matrix. Their results confirm that fibronectin promotes less stable adhesion and migration than laminin. The authors establish mechanical polarity in cell—caused by imbalance of protrusion- and adhesion-mediated forces—as a quantifiable physical principle driving directional cell migration.
