    Contractile perinuclear actomyosin network promotes peripheral and polar chromosome interaction with the mitotic spindle

    Nooshin Sheidaei, John K Eykelenboom ... Tomoyuki U Tanaka
    An actomyosin network (PANEM) forms around the nucleus in prophase, and its contraction repositions peripheral and polar chromosomes to facilitate their interaction with the mitotic spindle, ensuring their correct segregation.

    Cell size modulates ferroptosis susceptibility

    Evgeny Zatulovskiy, Magdalena B Murray ... Jan M Skotheim
    Cellular sensitivity to cell death stimuli depends on cell-size-dependent proteome changes - specifically, cell size can modulate ferroptosis susceptibility through changes in glutathione biosynthetic enzymes, ferritin, and cathepsin B concentrations.
