The established triple co-culture blood-–brain barrier (BBB) model could be used for predicting drugs’ BBB permeability, and co-culture with neurons and astrocytes enhanced brain endothelial cells’ integrity by secreting GDNF, which upregulated claudin-5 and VE-cadherin expression.

Coupling between subcellular localization and protein turnover of a neuronal stress kinase, DLK, and its role in neuronal stress responses in Drosophila.

Clonal naïve human embryonic stem cells assemble an Arp2/3 complex-dependent contractile actin filament ring around colonies that promotes tensional forces favoring cell-cell adhesion and nuclear translocation of YAP to maintain ground-state pluripotency.

Membrane tension controls the dynamic assembly and disassembly of caveolae and their association with the F-actin cortex in migrating cells.

Modulation of division plane rotation in proliferating chondrocytes determines the ratio of clusters and columns, which may support the multifunctional design of the growth plate.

New evidence sheds light on actin regulation of pluripotency in human embryonic stem cells.

Hepatic stellate cells play a central role in maintaining liver health by mediating cell-to-cell crosstalk via the production of GDF2 and BMP10.

There are two distinct modes of late endosome fusion in the mouse yolk sac visceral endoderm cells and actin dynamics plays a role in regulating vesicle fusion.

DYRK1A, a kinase associated with intellectual developmental disorders and organ growth regulation, functions in cell growth by promoting mTORC1 activity.

A comprehensive molecular characterization of Schlemm’s canal cells to date provides a wealth of molecular details.
