    Sex-specific role of myostatin signaling in neonatal muscle growth, denervation atrophy, and neuromuscular contractures

    Marianne E Emmert, Parul Aggarwal ... Roger Cornwall
    Myostatin signaling governs neonatal longitudinal muscle growth and neuromuscular contractures in a sex-dependent manner, identifying a potential avenue for contracture treatment and underscoring the need to consider sex as a biological variable in the pathophysiology of acquired neuromuscular disorders.

    Crosstalk between repair pathways elicits double-strand breaks in alkylated DNA and implications for the action of temozolomide

    Robert P Fuchs, Asako Isogawa ... Shingo Fujii
    DNA lesions formed by alkylating agents trigger double-strand breaks, in the absence of replication, by the action of MMR and BER at nearby O-alkyl and N-alkyl adducts, respectively.

    Excitatory transmission onto AgRP neurons is regulated by cJun NH2-terminal kinase 3 in response to metabolic stress

    Santiago Vernia, Caroline Morel ... Roger J Davis
    Metabolic stress-induced activation of the JNK3 protein regulates excitatory transmission onto AgRP neurons to regulate food consumption.

    Dual functions of a small regulatory subunit in the mitochondrial calcium uniporter complex

    Ming-Feng Tsai, Charles B Phillips ... Christopher Miller
    Studies of EMRE, one of the four essential protein subunits in the mitochondrial calcium uniporter complex that regulates calcium ion levels in mitochondria, reveal new details about the physical interactions between the subunits.

    CAMSAP2 organizes a γ-tubulin-independent microtubule nucleation centre through phase separation

    Tsuyoshi Imasaki, Satoshi Kikkawa ... Ryo Nitta
    CAMSAP2 co-condensates with αβ-tubulin to induce microtubule nucleation and growth, serving as a microtubule-organizing centre for non-centrosomal microtubules.

    Mitotic spindle scaling during Xenopus development by kif2a and importin α

    Jeremy D Wilbur, Rebecca Heald
    An interaction between two proteins enables the spindle—the structure that segregates chromosome pairs during mitosis—to change size as cells divide.

    Growth cone-localized microtubule organizing center establishes microtubule orientation in dendrites

    Xing Liang, Marcela Kokes ... Kang Shen
    In Caenorhabditis elegans, dendrites establish their unique microtubule polarity by localizing an organizing center behind the growing tip.

    Conservation of oocyte development in germline cysts from Drosophila to mouse

    Allan C Spradling, Wanbao Niu ... Bhawana Maurya
    Early oocyte development takes place in germline cysts and is strikingly conserved from Drosophila to mouse, reflecting common mechanisms that may help reverse aging and specify oocyte and early embryo polarity.
