    Cortical microtubule pulling forces contribute to the union of the parental genomes in the Caenorhabditis elegans zygote

    Griselda Velez-Aguilera, Batool Ossareh-Nazari ... Lionel Pintard
    Cortical microtubule pulling forces influence nuclear envelope breakdown, while nuclear envelope remodeling, particularly lamina depolymerization, impacts mitotic spindle length during mitosis.

    Pericyte-mediated constriction of renal capillaries evokes no-reflow and kidney injury following ischaemia

    Felipe Freitas, David Attwell
    Renal capillary pericytes are a novel therapeutic target for reducing sustained reduction in renal blood flow ('no-reflow') after kidney ischaemia.

    Remodeling of dermal adipose tissue alleviates cutaneous toxicity induced by anti-EGFR therapy

    Leying Chen, Qing You ... Shiyi Zhang
    Modulation of dermal adipocytes contributes to skin homeostasis and provides a promising new therapeutic strategy in the treatment of EGFRI-related skin disorders.

    TIGAR deficiency enhances skeletal muscle thermogenesis by increasing neuromuscular junction cholinergic signaling

    Yan Tang, Haihong Zong ... Jeffrey E Pessin
    TIGAR deficiency in cholinergic neuron enhanced intracellular acetyl-CoA levels and pyruvate dehydrogenase flux into the TCA cycle that drives increased cholinergic tone with reduced heart rate and blood pressure and raised resistance against the paralytic curare and cold-induced hypothermia.

    Cortical waves mediate the cellular response to electric fields

    Qixin Yang, Yuchuan Miao ... Wolfgang Losert
    Electrical and biomechanical stimuli directly bias cortical signal transduction and cytoskeletal waves, and the direct bias induced by an electric field develops slowly compared to the rapid surface-receptor-mediated response to chemotactic gradients.

    Chinese natural compound decreases pacemaking of rabbit cardiac sinoatrial cells by targeting second messenger regulation of f-channels

    Chiara Piantoni, Manuel Paina ... Mirko Baruscotti
    A Traditional Chinese Medicine botanical drug exerts a competitive antagonism on the cAMP-induced modulation of sinoatrial node pacemaker channels and this functional inhibition reduces the slope of the diastolic depolarization hence spontaneous cell automaticity.

    A light-gated transcriptional recorder for detecting cell-cell contacts

    Kelvin F Cho, Shawn M Gillespie ... Alice Y Ting
    TRACC (Transcriptional Readout Activated by Cell-cell Contacts) is an engineered molecular tool that detects and records cell-cell contacts in mammalian systems.

    A neural progenitor mitotic wave is required for asynchronous axon outgrowth and morphology

    Jérôme Lacoste, Hédi Soula ... Sophie Louvet-Vallée
    Timing of neural precursor cells division controls the order of development of sensory neurons, which in turn determines their axon terminal pattern and ultimately fly behaviour.

    Distinct and diverse chromatin proteomes of ageing mouse organs reveal protein signatures that correlate with physiological functions

    Giorgio Oliviero, Sergey Kovalchuk ... Ole N Jensen
    Quantitative proteomics reveals the diversity and heterogeneity of nuclear proteomes in mammalian organs and identifies the molecular features of ageing.

    The transcription factor Xrp1 orchestrates both reduced translation and cell competition upon defective ribosome assembly or function

    Marianthi Kiparaki, Chaitali Khan ... Nicholas E Baker
    Ribosomal protein mutations, mutations that affect ribosomal RNA synthesis, or function of the mature ribosome, trigger a transcriptional response mediated by Xrp1 expression which reduces cellular translation via eIF2-alpha phosphorylation and renders cells liable to competition with wild-type neighbors.
