Analysis of a spermiogenesis protein reveals a new chromatin requirement for synchrony between maternal DNA packaged in the egg and sperm-packaged paternal DNA in the first embryonic mitosis in Drosophila melanogaster.

Building on previous work (De Michele et al., 2013), we report the development of dual-emission AmTrac sensors for in vivo analysis of transporter activity.

Excess membrane can trap outgoing extracellular matrix proteins in secreting cells, leading to pericellular deposits that cause tissue damage.

A technique called selected reaction monitoring can quantitatively detect highly diversified protein isoforms and their association with specific neuronal structures and complexes.

Daple is a guanine nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF) for trimeric G proteins that enables Wnt/Frizzled receptors to transactivate G proteins during non-canonical Wnt signaling.

The unfolded protein response regulates neuronal dendrite morphogenesis by controlling the folding of a transmembrane leucine-rich repeat (LRR) protein.

Chromosomes in C. elegans female reproductive cells segregate through motor-driven movement along lateral microtubule bundles.

Pol II-mediated transcription and chromatin looping of CDKN1A are repressed by MAF1 through the regulation of Pol III activity.

Pancreatic α and β cells have different cell autonomous signatures; this explains why α but not β cells can clear infections by potentially diabetogenic viruses.
