    The positioning mechanics of microtubule asters in Drosophila embryo explants

    Jorge de-Carvalho, Sham Tlili ... Ivo A Telley
    Using cytosolic explants from Drosophila syncytial embryos combined with quantitative microscopy and perturbations, the mechanical forces separating Drosophila microtubule asters are revealed.

    Metabolic clogging of mannose triggers dNTP loss and genomic instability in human cancer cells

    Yoichiro Harada, Yu Mizote ... Naoyuki Taniguchi
    Proteomic and metabolomic analyses reveal how mannose exerts its anticancer activity.

    Lola regulates Drosophila adult midgut homeostasis via non-canonical hippo signaling

    Xue Hao, Shimin Wang ... Lei Zhang
    The transcription factor Lola is defined as a non-canonical Hippo signaling component essential for Drosophila midgut homeostasis via its interaction with Warts and suppression on Dref and SkpA expression levels.

    Topoisomerase VI senses and exploits both DNA crossings and bends to facilitate strand passage

    Timothy J Wendorff, James M Berger
    The engagement of DNA crossings is shown to license ATP hydrolysis and DNA cleavage by topoisomerase VI, a finding with mechanistic ramifications for related GHKL ATPases and meiotic recombination machineries.

    Six domesticated PiggyBac transposases together carry out programmed DNA elimination in Paramecium

    Julien Bischerour, Simran Bhullar ... Mireille Bétermier
    The machinery that carries out programmed DNA rearrangements is composed of domesticated transposases. One is catalytically active, five play architectural function essential for the accuracy of the process.
