Live cell tracking of labeled DNA reveals that replisome loading rather than DNA synthesis decreases the chromatin motion during S-phase in human cells.

Acetate concentration, which is significantly increased in association with energy stresses such as those that occur with diabetes or starvation, is emerging as a novel 'ketone body' with potential as a parameter for evaluating the progression of energy stress.

Biochemical, structural, imaging, and functional studies reveal how the ESCRT-III protein IST1 recruits the CAPN7 cysteine protease to midbodies, where its proteolytic activity is required for efficient abscission and NoCut checkpoint arrest.

The vasopressin type 2 receptor promotes dual Gα_s and Gα_q/11 signaling at early endosomes in β-arrestin-dependent and -independent manners.

Airborne PM2.5 exposure triggers oxidative stress and mitochondrial apoptosis in placental trophoblast cells via the KLF9/CYP1A1 transcriptional axis, ultimately leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Enterovirus D68, a pathogen associated with a rare child paralysis disease, depends on the cellular protein SIRT-1 for release of virus, indicating that SIRT-1 may be an important therapeutic target.

Carefully controlling the level of protein synthesis reduction and mode of translation inhibitor action reveal different and sometimes opposing phenotypic effects following proteostasis stress, wherein protection via initiation inhibition specifically depends on heat shock factor 1.

A new type of mRNAs-loaded CD133⁺ vesicles, named intercellsome, mediate cell-cell communications to compensate intracellular proliferative signal deficit, representing a previously unrecognized mechanism of cell proliferation under stress.
