    Kinesin-6 regulates cell-size-dependent spindle elongation velocity to keep mitosis duration constant in fission yeast

    Lara Katharina Krüger, Jérémie-Luc Sanchez ... Phong Thanh Tran
    The scaling of spindle elongation velocity with cell size is regulated by the amounts of Kinesin-6 molecules and the number of binding sites for the motor to the mitotic spindle.

    Human VPS13A is associated with multiple organelles and influences mitochondrial morphology and lipid droplet motility

    Wondwossen M Yeshaw, Marianne van der Zwaag ... Ody CM Sibon
    VPS13A is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and lipid droplets and is required for cellular processes that require interaction between these organells.

    JNK-dependent cell cycle stalling in G2 promotes survival and senescence-like phenotypes in tissue stress

    Andrea Cosolo, Janhvi Jaiswal ... Anne-Kathrin Classen
    Tissue damage induces a reversible cell cycle arrest in G2, which promotes survival and mitogenic signals to facilitate tissue regeneration but drives senescence-like phenotypes under chronic stress conditions.

    Reactivation of a developmental Bmp2 signaling center is required for therapeutic control of the murine periosteal niche

    Valerie S Salazar, Luciane P Capelo ... Vicki Rosen
    A periosteal Bmp2 signaling center couples bone length to bone width during development and must be reactivated by clinical bone anabolic therapies to reduce fracture risk and accelerate fracture repair.

    Electron cryo-tomography provides insight into procentriole architecture and assembly mechanism

    Sam Li, Jose-Jesus Fernandez ... David A Agard
    A detailed description of the structure of procentriole MT triplet by cryoET, along with its associated non-tubulin proteins and its assembly intermediates, reveals possible molecular mechanism for the procentriole assembly.

    zGrad is a nanobody-based degron system that inactivates proteins in zebrafish

    Naoya Yamaguchi, Tugba Colak-Champollion, Holger Knaut
    The F-box/anti-GFP nanobody fusion protein zGrad depletes GFP-tagged proteins with spatial and temporal control in zebrafish.

    Mitochondrial biogenesis is transcriptionally repressed in lysosomal lipid storage diseases

    King Faisal Yambire, Lorena Fernandez-Mosquera ... Nuno Raimundo
    Transcription factors KLF2 and ETV1 repress the transcriptional program of mitochondrial biogenesis, resulting in impaired mitochondrial function in lysosomal storage diseases.

    A systematic approach to identify recycling endocytic cargo depending on the GARP complex

    Sebastian Eising, Lisa Thiele, Florian Fröhlich
    The GARP complex is important for the endocytic recycling of amino phospholipid flippases and cell wall proteins, and thus membrane and lipid organization in yeast.

    Three F-actin assembly centers regulate organelle inheritance, cell-cell communication and motility in Toxoplasma gondii

    Nicolò Tosetti, Nicolas Dos Santos Pacheco ... Damien Jacot
    Toxoplasma gondii formins have several non-overlapping roles including generating an apico-basal flux of F-actin that is controlled by phosphorylation and methylation and is essential for motility.
