A competition for RNA drives the localized assembly of RNA granules in the C. elegans embryo.

RNA molecules cause the proteins involved in the formation of germ granules to coalesce into liquid droplets.

A surface protein triggers intra-oocyst motility of Plasmodium sporozoites to ensure parasite egress from oocysts.

Metabolic switches between oxidative phosphorylation and aerobic glycolysis plus glutaminolysis direct T cell function by altering the flux of glucose and glutamine to N-glycosylation.

Analyses of a developmentally regulated Drosophila myofiber remodeling program provide insight into induced autophagy required for T-tubule membrane reorganization, and uncover a conserved Rab2 role in autophagosome-lysosome fusion.

The stoichiometry and mechanism of interactions of the Mis18 complex with M18BP1 was analysed to unveil the molecular basis of new CENP-A deposition during the G1 phase of the cell cycle.

Human cell lines replicate and proliferate without ORC1 or ORC2, two subunits of the replication initiator protein complex ORC, which has till now been considered essential for DNA replication.

Human cells that lack a subunit in their origin recognition complex are viable, which suggests the existence of alternative mechanisms to initiate DNA replication.

Analysis of experiments on bacteria suggests that the dependence of cell size on growth rate is not an adaptation but a causal consequence of a regulatory mechanism that controls DNA replication.

The first dynamic map of early neuronal and sensory progenitors in the whole otic vesicle reveals how progenitor domains remodel upon morphogenesis.
