    A positive feedback loop between Myc and aerobic glycolysis sustains tumor growth in a Drosophila tumor model

    Kenneth Kin Lam Wong, Jenny Zhe Liao, Esther M Verheyen
    Specific molecular links that orchestrate growth signals and metabolic reprogramming to achieve tumorigenesis are identified as potential metabolic vulnerabilities in cancer treatment.

    Contractile acto-myosin network on nuclear envelope remnants positions human chromosomes for mitosis

    Alexander JR Booth, Zuojun Yue ... Tomoyuki U Tanaka
    Live-cell imaging shows that the contractile acto-myosin network on the nuclear envelope remnant positions chromosomes in early mitosis to ensure efficient and correct interactions between chromosomes and the mitotic spindle.

    Expression of WIPI2B counteracts age-related decline in autophagosome biogenesis in neurons

    Andrea KH Stavoe, Pallavi P Gopal ... Erika LF Holzbaur
    The dynamic phosphorylation of autophagy component WIPI2B is critical to maintain autophagosome biogenesis in neurons, and ectopic expression of WIPI2B can restore rates of autophagosome biogenesis in aged neurons.

    The transcription factor Hey and nuclear lamins specify and maintain cell identity

    Naama Flint Brodsly, Eliya Bitman-Lotan ... Amir Orian
    Hey together with LaminC continuously supervise nuclear organisation and differentiated enterocyte identity, a regulation that is lost upon ageing, resulting in loss of gut homeostasis.

    The autophagic membrane tether ATG2A transfers lipids between membranes

    Shintaro Maeda, Chinatsu Otomo, Takanori Otomo
    The autophagy protein ATG2A tethers membranes and transfers lipids between them, suggesting that autophagosome membranes grow upon the acquisition of lipids from the ER through the ATG2A bridge.

    The Caenorhabditis elegans Tubby homolog dynamically modulates olfactory cilia membrane morphogenesis and phospholipid composition

    Danielle DiTirro, Alison Philbrook ... Piali Sengupta
    A Tubby protein regulates ciliary membrane morphology and phosphoinositide composition in a context-dependent manner.

    A composition-dependent molecular clutch between T cell signaling condensates and actin

    Jonathon A Ditlev, Anthony R Vega ... Michael K Rosen
    Compositional changes alter actin binding by phase separated T cell signaling clusters, enabling cluster movement by distinct actin networks.

    Autophagy regulates inflammatory programmed cell death via turnover of RHIM-domain proteins

    Junghyun Lim, Hyunjoo Park ... Aditya Murthy
    Autophagy is critical for the turnover of inflammatory signaling complexes containing RHIM-domain proteins.

    Club cells form lung adenocarcinomas and maintain the alveoli of adult mice

    Magda Spella, Ioannis Lilis ... Georgios T Stathopoulos
    Airway cells are required for the maintenance of the adult mouse lung and for carcinogen-induced lung adenocarcinoma development, and are thus marked therapeutic targets.

    Absolute quantification of cohesin, CTCF and their regulators in human cells

    Johann Holzmann, Antonio Z Politi ... Jan-Michael Peters
    Absolute quantification of cohesin, CTCF, NIPBL, WAPL and sororin in HeLa cells implies that some genomic cohesin and CTCF enrichment sites are unoccupied at any one time.
