The localization of respiratory complexes in the cell membrane emerges as a critical factor for controlling respiration in bacteria.

The ability of cells to transmit information encoded in signaling dynamics is fundamentally limited by the gene decoding step.

A new family of sterol-specific lipid transfer proteins has been found that anchors in the endoplasmic reticulum; some of these proteins stretch across membrane contacts and mediate sterol traffic from the plasma membrane.

An endosomal component employs a novel PAM2-like motif to recruit a key RNA-binding protein, which explains how mRNAs and associated ribosomes are attached to endosomes during coupled transport.

The ATM kinase has an unanticipated role in tumor progression through the regulation of cell migration by oxidative stress.

Reproductive behavior is conferred from experienced to naïve Drosophila as a behavioral social strategy allowing naïve groups to anticipate a threat from a predator.

Ire1α co-opts the Sec61 translocon channel to efficiently cleave its mRNA substrates during endoplasmic reticulum stress conditions.

In red blood cells, the Piezo1 protein is responsible for sensing mechanical forces and volume regulation.

There are at least two separate pathways for AMPA receptor recycling, which are regulated by synaptic activity.

The changes in shape of iridophores that underlie adult colour pattern formation in zebrafish depend on the levels of Tight Junction Protein 1a in these cells.
