The first demonstration that cellular ATP homeostasis suppresses high volatility of cellular ATP levels to ensure proteostasis that prevents accumulation of cytotoxic protein aggregation.

Tissue-level cell tracking and analysis of actomyosin and N-cadherin adhesion dynamics, coupled with disruption of the regulatory gene Shroom3, reveals region-specific cell behaviors along the anteroposterior axis during neural tube closure.

Proline is essential for osteoblast differentiation and bone formation by facilitating the production of proline-enriched osteoblast proteins.

Intercellular communication is critical for organ function, and the role of innervation in mediating this communication is of relevance to many fields, including developmental biology, neuroendocrinology, and disease pathophysiology.

Muscle hypertrophy and regeneration are critically regulated by combination of TGF-β type I receptors in myofibres.

A novel mechanism by which a compartment-specific AAA+ complex mediating organelle biogenesis and protein quality control staves off induction of selective autophagy.

Identification of a heparan sulfate proteoglycan with a dedicated function in unconventional protein secretion reveals an intimate relationship between fibroblast growth factor 2 and Glypican-1 in cancer biology.

Actin-related protein 5 antagonizes the interaction of Pbx/Meis with myogenic regulatory factors such as MyoD and MyoG, which is involved in the recruitment of the BRG1-based switch/sucrose nonfermentable chromatin remodeling complex required for myogenic gene activation.

Dynamic interactions of core clock molecules are quantitively measured and mathematically modelled to reveal the hidden role of PER:CRY complexes in enhancing the mobility of CLOCK:BMAL1 to move to new DNA sites.

Centriole rotational asymmetry, a structural property necessary for cytoskeletal organization in unicellular eukaryotes, is broadly conserved in the centrioles of human cells.
