The quieter the sound, the harder your hair bundles work to amplify it. An international team—including members of the Hudspeth lab at Rockefeller—shows that hair bundles sense, amplify, dissipate heat, or even act as tiny refrigerators.

Hair cell bundles are tiny structures in our ears that help us sense and amplify both faint and loud sounds. A new study by an international group of researchers sheds light on the thermodynamics that underlie the functioning of these bundles.

New research from EMBL scientists is shedding light on how shape transitions help tissue boundaries form during development.
The results reveal a new class of adaptive material dynamics & could provide design principles for smart materials that respond to changing environments.

..It's the first step in using statistical models on experimental data to connect to mechanistic biophysical descriptions. A future avenue that is worth exploring!
New Paper: PhD cand. Kyriacos developed a statistical model based on Gaussian random fields to quantify the intracellular organization of puncta. We applied it to peroxisomes and identified their spatial phenotypes.
