    Epigenetic regulation of Wnt7b expression by the cis-acting long noncoding RNA Lnc-Rewind in muscle stem cells

    Andrea Cipriano, Martina Macino ... Monica Ballarino
    The epigenetic regulation of adult muscle stem cell fate by lnc-Rewind relies on the RNA-mediated recruitment of G9a methyltransferase on the Wnt7b genomic locus.

    Ral GTPases promote breast cancer metastasis by controlling biogenesis and organ targeting of exosomes

    Shima Ghoroghi, Benjamin Mary ... Vincent Hyenne
    A combination of animal models reveal how the molecular mechanisms of exosome secretion (RalA/B-dependent) are linked to their cargo content and their function in breast cancer pre-metastatic niche formation.

    Cross-compartment signal propagation in the mitotic exit network

    Xiaoxue Zhou, Wenxue Li ... Angelika Amon
    The mitotic exit network signals from spindle pole bodies to the nucleolus through the dynamic localization of its terminal kinase complex Dbf2-Mob1.

    Telomeric double-strand DNA-binding proteins DTN-1 and DTN-2 ensure germline immortality in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Io Yamamoto, Kexin Zhang ... Hiroki Shibuya
    The discovery of non-canonical telomeric dsDNA-binding proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans reveal their contribution in the maintenance of telomere length and germline immortality.

    ARL3 activation requires the co-GEF BART and effector-mediated turnover

    Yasmin ElMaghloob, Begoña Sot ... Shehab Ismail
    BART is a co-GEF for ARL3 and maintains the active ARL3-GTP until it is recycled by ARL3 effectors.

    Kinesin-4 KIF21B limits microtubule growth to allow rapid centrosome polarization in T cells

    Peter Jan Hooikaas, Hugo GJ Damstra ... Anna Akhmanova
    Kinesin-4 KIF21B promotes rapid reorientation of the microtubule network during formation of immunological synapse in T cells by acting as a pausing and catastrophe-inducing factor that keeps microtubules short.

    Deep-learning-based three-dimensional label-free tracking and analysis of immunological synapses of CAR-T cells

    Moosung Lee, Young-Ho Lee ... YongKeun Park
    Rapid, label-free, volumetric, and automated assessment of the immunological synapse dynamics is demonstrated by combining optical diffraction tomography and deep-learning-based segmentation, providing a new option for immunological research.

    The ESCRT machinery regulates retromer-dependent transcytosis of septate junction components in Drosophila

    Hendrik Pannen, Tim Rapp, Thomas Klein
    A novel role of endosomal machineries retromer and ESCRT in membrane delivery of Drosophila septate junction components is required for maintenance of junction integrity and epithelial barrier function.

    Ca2+ signaling driving pacemaker activity in submucosal interstitial cells of Cajal in the murine colon

    Salah A Baker, Wesley A Leigh ... Kenton M Sanders
    An optogenetic dual-color Ca2+-imaging approach shows how submucosal pacemaker-cells, interstitial cells of Cajal, modulate smooth-muscle responses and drive colonic motility via complex Ca2+ signaling.
