Glypican proteins, required for morphogen signalling in Drosophila wing development, are endocytosed and degraded by the feedback regulator Pentagone.

The self-organised beat of cilia and flagella is dynamically regulated by curvature.

Outward calcium ion currents desensitize the human PKD2-L1 ion channel via a mechanism that is independent of cytosolic motifs.

A potential link between metabolic changes resulting from exercise and gene expression in the brain has been revealed.

The endoplasmic reticulum serves as a direct and primary source of calcium ions for the lysosome.

The transcription factor ERG recruits the PRMT5 enzyme to methylate the androgen receptor, presenting a post-translational regulatory mechanism that could be therapeutically exploited to control cell proliferation.

Proper gut health depends on the balance between two naturally occurring variants of a transcription factor in the colon.

A newly discovered feedback amplification loop between stem cells and their immediate daughter progenitor cells drives epithelial regeneration and tumor development.

Notch1 activates autophagy to regulate the survival of T-regulatory cells from mice.

A new mitochondrial protein degradation pathway selectively sorts and destroys a subset of the mitochondrial membrane proteome to protect mitochondria in times of stress.
