Single molecule FISH analysis defines the behavior of centromere-derived alpha-satellite transcripts in intact human cells and reveals a critical role for centromere-nucleolar contacts in repressing alpha-satellite transcription.

Sea slugs increase the longevity of the chloroplasts they steal from algae by limiting the harmful side-effects of photosynthesis.

WASp is an immunometabolic regulator of human myeloid cells and regulates autophagy and mitochondrial homeostasis.

Casein kinase 1G2 interacts with and inhibits the activation of receptor-interacting kinase 3, RIP3, in response to TNF and toll-like receptor family members and attenuates its necroptosis signaling activity.

The RIF1-long and short splice variants show distinct ability to protect cells from replication stress by promoting 53BP1 nuclear bodies, representing the first described functional difference between the two variants.

Re-characterization of the targets of a commonly used nuclear speckle marker unexpectedly leads to the discovery of the elusive core of the nuclear speckles.

A genetic basis underlying cell resilience against metabolic stress in cells of a hibernator, Arctic ground squirrels, has been discovered.

The mechanism identified here that mediates olanzapine-induced b-cell dysfunction should be considered, along with weight gain, in mitigating adverse side effects when patients with schizophrenia are prescribed olanzapine.

Molecular and cell biology analyses reveal novel roles of Polo-like kinases in establishing non-random segregation patterns of spindle-associated microtubule-organizing centers during mitosis, a phenomenon linked with replicative cell aging.

In fission yeast cell wall stress triggers a cytokinesis blockage specifically in the onset of actomyosin ring constriction.
