An actin-nucleation-dependent assembly of the axonal membrane skeleton reveals that βII-spectrin gap-and-patch patterns in human motor neurons represent an intermediate stage of cytoskeletal maturation.
Single-cell observations refute the expectation that centrosome positioning is critical for epithelial cell polarization while showing that proper positioning enhances polarization efficiency.
Polo-like kinase phosphorylation of the centrin arm-localized orphan kinesin KIN-G disrupts its microtubule-binding activity and inhibits centrin arm biogenesis in trypanosomes.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is associated with reduced mitochondrial cardiolipin concentration in mice and humans, and cardiolipin deficiency was sufficient to drive steatosis and fibrosis in the liver.
