Protein–protein interactions and localization dependencies between septin cytoskeleton and the exocyst complex using the fission yeast model system reveal one of the most conserved functions of septins in exocytosis.

Aging results in remodeling of the nuclear pore complex and leakage of intron-containing pre-mRNA out of the nucleus, altering gene function and mitotic stability of old cells.

Experiments on yeast show that the nuclear pore complex has a central role in the loss of chromosomes associated with aging.

Intermolecular steric repulsion generated by glycans on the cell membrane inhibits viral infection by preventing the formation of a virus-cell interface, regardless of the identity of molecules for glycan modification.

An RNAi based genetic screen and subsequent analyses reveal how dyneins and small GTPases coordinate autophagosome positioning at the ncMTOC in fat cells, advancing understanding of autophagic vesicle transport.

Deep3DSIM enables super-resolution imaging >130 µm into complex tissues of fixed and live specimens in an upright configuration, allowing sample manipulation, as well as rapid refocusing without the need to move the specimen or objective lens.
