SCC3 not only functions as a member of cohesin complex but also participates in homologous pairing and synapsis during rice meiosis.

Distributed cohesin rings flexibly tether the axial element structure of meiotic chromosomes to the underlying chromatin to readily accommodate ongoing transcription.

By specifically antagonizing binding of complexes carrying COH-3/4 kleisins, WAPL-1 regulates chromosome structure and cohesion throughout meiotic prophase.

Meiosis-specific cohesin complexes differing in their kleisin subunit display different chromosome binding dynamics and perform specialised functions in sister chromatid cohesion, chromosome axis organisation, and double-strand break repair.

A new multi camera imaging platform simultaneously captures large-area, high-resolution video of unconstrained small model organisms and provides behavioral measurements that span multiple spatial scales.

Specification and expansion during rib development is explained by Agent-Based Modeling while respecting the locality of decision-making that occurs as millions of cells coordinate their behavior to form and refine spatial pattern.

An optical microscopy approach with an ultra-large field of view but retained subcellular resolution allows simultaneous imaging of neural activity in widely dispersed brain regions.

Mer2 interacts directly with meiotic chromatin, axial proteins, and the DNA break forming machinery to facilitate the formation of meiotic double-strand breaks.

Mouse TRIP13 localizes to synapsed chromosomal axes and thus exhibits mutually exclusive localization with HORMAD1/HORMAD2, providing a cell biological explanation for dissociation of HORMAD1/2 from chromosomal axes upon synapsis.

Growing upwards in the young seedling is controlled by two cooperative mechanical mechanisms: cellulose orientation in inner tissues and differential elasticity in epidermal cells.
