Vibrator and PI4KIIIα that stimulate the synthesis of PI(4)P anchor non-muscle myosin II RLC (Sqh) to the plasma membrane and conversely Sqh associates with PI(4)P and facilitates its membrane localization during asymmetric division of neuroblasts.

The CYK-4 subunit of the broadly conserved intercellular bridge component centralspindlin, but not its ZEN-4 subunit, is essential for the cytokinesis-like closure of intercellular bridges that cellularizes oocytes to separate them from germline syncytia.

Activation of the key regulator of cytokinesis, RhoA, involves an unexpected contribution by a RhoGAP domain.

MT plus-end-mediated recruitment of a cortical pool of ECT2 trigger RhoA activation upon contact, which results in localized contractility during cytokinesis.

Genetic and cell biological study indicates that germ cells' connectivity serves as a mechanism to increase the sensitivity of germline to DNA damage, protecting the genome of gametes, in the Drosophila testis.

Small changes to the way COVID-19 vaccine side-effect rates are framed and communicated have meaningful impacts on individuals' vaccination intentions.

Microtubule-microtubule sliding and neurite outgrowth in Drosophila is controlled by a Ser/Thr kinase Tricornered via phosphorylation of a 'mitotic' motor protein Pavarotti.
