Fungal hyphae constantly undergo signal oscillations, comparable to a cell 'monologue' until they meet another hypha with which they then coordinate signal oscillations and transit into a cell-to-cell dialogue.
An inducible two-component CRISPR-based platform that rapidly repositions HSV-1 genomes to the nuclear edge unveils intranuclear space heterogeneity for the incoming viral genomes and dynamic stages of the host-virus interplay during early infection.
The apical polarity protein CRB3 is crucial for regulating vesicle trafficking in γ-tubulin ring complex assembly during ciliogenesis and cilium-related Hedgehog and Wnt signaling pathways in tumorigenesis.

Combining micropatterning, traction force microscopy, and optogenetics, it is shown that epithelial cells actively respond to mechanical signals from neighboring cells.
Analysis of inositol pyrophosphate dynamics upon inorganic phosphate (Pi) starvation identifies 1,5-IP8 as the inositol pyrophosphate isomer signaling Pi sufficiency to the SPX domain of Pho81 that controls the transcriptional Pi starvation program.

Targeted recruitment of protein kinase A subunits enables distinctive regulation of the functional expression of a potassium channel depending on whether the enzyme is targeted to a pore-forming or auxiliary subunit.
Meiosis-specific cohesin complexes differing in their kleisin subunit display different chromosome binding dynamics and perform specialised functions in sister chromatid cohesion, chromosome axis organisation, and double-strand break repair.
