A high-throughput mitochondrial phenotyping approach quantifies mitochondrial features among purified human immune cell subtypes and provides foundational knowledge to map inter- and intra-individual variation in mitochondrial energetics with high biological specificity.

Condensation of cytosolic protein YBX1 into processing bodies reveals mechanisms for efficient and selective sorting of proteins and their cognate microRNAs into exosomes.

Analysis of insulin secretion patterns in pancreatic islets shows that microtubules control β-cell heterogeneity by regulating initiation and timing of secretion hot spot activity in parallel with Ca²⁺ signaling.

Redaction, intended to obscure personal and institutional identity, reduced the gap between Black vs. White applicants in simulated review of real NIH scientific grant applications, thus providing qualified support for double-blinded models of peer review.

Concealing the identity of the principal investigator only partially closes the success gap between white and African American or Black researchers in NIH grant applications.

The Shu complex enables lesion bypass of specific alkylation-induced DNA damage including abasic sites and 3-methyl-cytosine.

Giant ankyrin-B enables the transduction of Sema 3A repelling cues and is important for normal axonal connectivity.

Stress fibers with multiple adhesions along their lengths and treadmilling dynamics may help migrating epithelial cells maintain a linear trajectory and thereby reinforce their collective motility.

During the morphogenesis of the tubes of the salivary glands in the fly embryo, a correct regionalization of the flat epithelial primordium by upstream transcription factors is key to drive coordinated changes in cell behavior.

Specific localization of KRAS downstream target ARL4C with its novel interacting proteins was the active site of invasion of pancreatic cancer cell and induced metastasis.
