Exploring systemic effects of the friendship paradox on social network participation by Ahmed Medhat, Shankar Iyer

“…We analyze how sharing rates trend when it is dictated by both observed feedback disparities and activity thresholds for collective behavior. We also evaluate the iterative impact of FIT on network nodes, as a measure of node centrality in a network, finding it to have the ability to identify central nodes at a community level and to do so at a lower computational complexity than community detection, a property not matched by commonly used node centrality methods such as betweeness, closeness and degree centrality.…”

Designing Tunable DNA Condensates to Control Membrane Budding Transformation in Synthetic Cells by Nastasja Kaletta, Sophia Burick, Yusuf Qudbuddin, Petra Schwille

“…Abstract Wetting interactions between biomolecular condensates and lipid membranes have demonstrated great potential to induce large‐scale membrane transformations in synthetic cells. However, the ability to functionalize existing condensates and control their interactions with membranes is limited, restricting their utility in engineering controlled wetting behavior. …”
