The three dimensional structure of epidermal cells in the stratum granulosum provides the basis for the homeostasis of the tight junction barrier during cell turnover in the skin.

The localisation of bicoid mRNA depends on its microtubule-independent anchoring at the oocyte anterior.

Phosphatidic acid regulates recycling of endocytosed plasma membrane vesicles in polarized cells through a retromer and Arf1 dependent process.

The RNA binding protein Sam68 links a key metabolic route to the neural stem cell fate in the developing mouse brain.

A new tumor suppressor function of p21, needed at each undamaged duplication cycle, ensures the adequate execution of the DNA replication program thereby protecting the genome integrity.

An effector of AMPK is essential for the kinase and its pharmacological activators, including Metformin, to strengthen cell-cell junctions and preserve epithelial cell polarity and barrier functions in the face of energetic stress, as well as to suppress oncogenesis.

Compressing the actomyosin network by cortical flow causes filaments to align and form a constricting ring.

The murine protein TMEM135 is a critical link between aging and age-dependent diseases.

High-resolution live imaging analysis shows a constriction mechanism that drives zebrafish optic cup morphogenesis and highlights the role of the extracellular matrix in transmitting tensions beyond the cellular level.
