Localized temperature gradients used as a novel method of active micro-theology that is non-invasive and probe-free, to investigate material responses of cell departments such as the different compartments of a nucleus displaying distinct material properties.

Activation of Activin A-expressing progenitor cells emerges as a pivotal mechanism in bone fracture healing, shedding light on a potential therapeutic avenue to augment bone repair processes.

This article reviews the latest studies that have used super-resolution microscopy and cluster analysis methodologies to study the mechanism of protein kinase signalling hubs and their organisation at nanoscale.

Comparative biochemical analysis of a nematode-specific kinesin-3 shed light on the mechanism of kinesin-3 dimerization and activation.

Immune activation in Drosophila macrophages during oxidative stress is regulated by DNA damage signaling, which controls proinflammatory cytokine release and the susceptibility of the fly to oxidative stress.

Comparative measurements and simulations of microtubule plus and minus end growth with mixed nucleotides demonstrate that nucleotide acts across a tubulin:tubulin interface to influence microtubule stability and dynamics.

In vitro and in vivo studies uncovered a molecular link between elevated mitochondrial ceramide levels, coenzyme Q depletion, and insulin resistance.

Microtubules grow at highly variable rates, but they can be tightly coordinated merely by coupling their tips to a single shared load.

After an injury to the skin, murine wounds upregulate apoptosis and efferocytosis pathways, which are required for effective healing and may similarly impact wound healing in diabetic patients.
