Cover: Confocal microscopy image of a transverse section through the chicken spinal cord following electroporation of a GLI3 transcriptional repressor. Electroporated cells express EGFP in green, whereas PAX7-expressing cells are detected in red. GLI3 repressor induces ectopic PAX7 expression in the ventral neural tube (bottom left). See article by B. Carpenter et al. (pp. 1034–1050).

Principles and regulation of mechanosensing
Mechanics play a fundamental role in cell physiology and represent physical mechanisms which cells use to influence function from the molecular to tissue scale. In this Review, Stefano Sala and colleagues clearly define mechanosensing and mechanotransduction, illustrate various mechanosensing mechanisms and discuss methods that cells use to regulate these processes.

HIV-1 assembly – when virology meets biophysics
Claire Lacouture and colleagues review mechanisms of assembly of the HIV-1 structural protein Gag from biophysical and biological perspectives. The researchers highlight how HIV-1 Gag hijacks host cell factors associated with cortical actin machinery to make new viral particles.
