HIM-5 emerges as a central scaffold that coordinates SPO-11 accessory complexes to control different aspects of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks, ensuring robust crossover formation on autosomes and the X chromosome.
A DNA origami nanospring introduces a force-sensing technology that enables measurement of motor protein stall forces without optical trapping, detecting force changes in kinesin KIF1A and its disease-related mutants.
Uev1A and APC/C degrade CycA to counteract oncogenic Ras, thereby protecting against cell death in polyploid Drosophila nurse cells and suppressing overgrowth in diploid germline and human colorectal tumor cells.
Independent experimental approaches demonstrate changes in TFAM binding to UVC-irradiated DNA, providing a potential mechanism for DNA damage sensing in the mitochondria.

Activity fluctuations, or noise correlations, are robust measures of neuronal connectivity and they reveal that neural circuity controls mixing of information at a granular level across millimeter-length scales.
Matthew W Rozak, James R Mester ... Bojana Stefanovic
A novel pipeline for analyzing longitudinal two-photon microscopy data of cerebrovasculature in mice interrogates the vasculature network before and after optogenetic stimulation, revealing new insights into their coordination.
