On different bacterial diets, which also serve as different environments for Caenorhabditis elegans, specific sensory neurons and insulin-like peptides integrate food-derived signals to modulate oocyte biology, and hence reproduction.
The photoreceptor tetraspanin protein ROM1 contributes to the formation of light-sensitive 'disc' membranes, but it can be functionally replaced by an excess of its homologous binding partner PRPH2.
Cyclin D1 protein stability is regulated by ubiquitin-proteasome mechanism mediated by multiple E3 ligases, including newly identified Keap1, DDB2, and WSB2.
A strategy to identify high-quality commercially available antibodies for research reveals extensive use of non-specific antibodies and offers solutions for future large-scale testing.
Cancer-directed treatment using Tumor-Treating Fields spatially modulates the tumor microenvironment at the cellular and molecular levels, decreasing nanotube-based cellular networks of communication while creating a microenvironment more susceptible to immunotherapeutic strategies.

Software is introduced for the rapid and comprehensive quantification of sarcomere-containing myofibrils and their precursors in cardiac myocytes, aiding in the advancement of cardiovascular cell biology investigations.
Disruption of the intracellular vimentin network upon cellular stress results in enhanced cell surface vimentin on human osteoarthritic chondrocytes and might represent a novel membrane-associated marker of stress-induced premature senescence.
