    Nutritional control of body size through FoxO-Ultraspiracle mediated ecdysone biosynthesis

    Takashi Koyama, Marisa A Rodrigues ... Christen K Mirth
    In Drosophila melanogaster, nutrition controls body size by acting through the Forkhead Box class O (FoxO)/Ultraspiracle complex to regulate nutrition-sensitive ecdysone biosynthesis, thereby controlling the switch to stop growth.

    CDK control pathways integrate cell size and ploidy information to control cell division

    James Oliver Patterson, Souradeep Basu ... Paul Nurse
    DNA concentration, cyclin levels, phosphatase activity, and CDK phosphorylation combine to directly link cell size to cell division.

    Evolution of cell size control is canalized towards adders or sizers by cell cycle structure and selective pressures

    Felix Proulx-Giraldeau, Jan M Skotheim, Paul François
    An evolutionary algorithm is used to build gene networks implementing cell size control, and suggests multiple ways for evolution to first build sizers and turn them into adders depending on evolutionary constraints.

    Amotl2a interacts with the Hippo effector Yap1 and the Wnt/β-catenin effector Lef1 to control tissue size in zebrafish

    Sobhika Agarwala, Sandra Duquesne ... Virginie Lecaudey
    The cell junction-associated protein Amotl2a controls tissue size in the zebrafish lateral line primordium by limiting the activity of the Hippo effector Yap1 and the Wnt effector Lef1.

    Size control of the inner ear via hydraulic feedback

    Kishore R Mosaliganti, Ian A Swinburne ... Sean G Megason
    Size regulation of the otic vesicle, the progenitor of the inner ear, is mediated by mechanical feedback involving fluid influx, hydraulic pressure, and tissue mechanics.

    Neural control of growth and size in the axolotl limb regenerate

    Kaylee M Wells, Kristina Kelley ... Catherine D McCusker
    Signaling from the limb nerves regulates the rate of growth and the overall size of the regenerating limb.

    Control of nuclear size by osmotic forces in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

    Joël Lemière, Paula Real-Calderon ... Fred Chang
    The volume of the nucleus is dictated by a balance of colloid osmotic forces from the nucleoplasm and cytoplasm.

    Scaling of subcellular actin structures with cell length through decelerated growth

    Shane G McInally, Jane Kondev, Bruce L Goode
    The size of a subcellular structure, yeast actin cables, scales with the linear dimensions of the cell, which is achieved by feedback control of their growth rate.

    Localized JNK signaling regulates organ size during development

    Helen Rankin Willsey, Xiaoyan Zheng ... Tian Xu
    JNK signaling is active in developing Drosophila tissues and is required for achieving proper organ size.

    Multiple inputs ensure yeast cell size homeostasis during cell cycle progression

    Cecilia Garmendia-Torres, Olivier Tassy ... Gilles Charvin
    Yeast cell size homeostasis is not controlled by a G1-specific mechanism alone but is likely to be an emergent property resulting from the integration of several mechanisms that coordinate cell and bud growth with division.
