In the Drosophila larval epidermis both the cell identity and polarity of individual cells change as a result of cell rearrangements.

In the Arabidopsis epidermis, the internal mechanical stress of a cell competes with the external stress to control microtubule behavior, providing a framework to understand the mechanical feedbacks that underlie plant morphogenesis.

A contractile structural protein of the membrane-associated cytoskeleton is a Hippo signaling component that works through the regulation of non-muscle myosin activity in Drosophila.

Two copies of a Polycomb target gene in the same cell can be maintained in independently heritable expression states, demonstrating that long-term memory of gene expression is stored locally.

The Zip3-like protein Vilya links the initiation of meiotic recombination with crossover formation.

Mitosis of reduplicated chromosomes is under careful regulation and can be perfectly executed.

The model organism Tetrahymena thermopile carries two nuclei with distinct genomes: an unrearranged germline genome with five chromosomes, and a somatic genome reduced in size by a third and with 181 chromosomes.

Human cell lines replicate and proliferate without ORC1 or ORC2, two subunits of the replication initiator protein complex ORC, which has till now been considered essential for DNA replication.

Fluctuations of a transcription factor that coincide with the G2 phase of the cell cycle pattern two interspersed cell fates in a multicellular system.

Atg9 inhibits TOR signaling to regulate cell growth and tissue homeostasis in Drosophila adult midgut.
