Neurons use a non-canonical secretory network to deliver select proteins to postsynaptic sites in dendrites.

A signaling pathway involving PGAM5, ASK1 and JNK induces persistent FoxO activation, chaperone expression and lifespan extension following developmental mitochondrial stress, which can be blocked by mTOR signaling through GCN-2.

Super-resolution microscopy reveals the nanoscale molecular architecture of 29 protein components of a eukaryotic contractile ring relative to the membrane.

Neutrophil pseudopods are composed of multiple sheets that are inherently flat, protrude in three dimensions, and whose assembly correlates with cell turning.

Acidification and salt, which are two major stresses caused by environmental changes, swiftly and drastically alter the microtubule system in green algae and likely many other organisms.

Genetic analyses reveal that purely quantitative changes in the relative copy number of chromosomes can be sufficient to disrupt the epigenetic mechanisms that define the cells' differentiated state.

Stimulation of cells with a mitochondria-depolarizing mitogen reveals a requirement for UBQLN1 expression in maintaining protein synthesis levels during cell cycle entry.

The dynamics and functions of epidermal microtubules are revealed through the use of transgenic tools to image and perturb microtubule arrays.

The inhibitory or deletion effect of MELK does not impair the proliferation of basal-like breast cancer cell lines.

Synaptic defects previously attributed to loss of kinesin function are found to be mediated by the Wnd/DLK axonal injury signaling pathway, which restrains the total levels of presynaptic proteins in response to their accumulation.
