Rapid acquisition of chromosome rearrangements, together with independently acting transmission distorter alleles on each chromosome, drive near complete sterility in fission yeast hybrids.

In addition to increasing glycolysis, some proliferating cells exhibiting the Warburg effect also increase oxidative phosphorylation through mitochondrial fusion.

A combination of advanced optical imaging and cryogenic electron microscopy has been used to explore membrane fusion in a synthetic system and provide new insights into neurotransmitter release.

Visualization of HIV-1 fusion by trapping the prehairpin intermediate.

Mitochondrial fusion enables a metabolic transition during spermatogenesis.

The same membrane trafficking cargo can change pathways mediated by different members of ARF-GEF family of vesicle formation regulators.

The architecture of the bacterial cytokinetic ring in cells and in artificial liposome reconstitutions has been described using electron microscopy, leading to a mechanism of constriction.

A viral fusogen drives cell-cell fusion by hijacking the actin machinery to directly couple actin assembly with a short fusogenic ectodomain.

A new approach measures the respective participations of elementary cell behaviors – such as cell division, intercalation, shape change and death – in the shaping of animal tissues.

Induction of the fission of mitochondria-populating sensory axons is shown to be a novel biological action of neurotrophins.
