    Differential translation of mRNA isoforms underlies oncogenic activation of cell cycle kinase Aurora A

    Roberta Cacioppo, Hesna Begum Akman ... Catherine Lindon
    Post-transcriptional regulation of Aurora Kinase A (AURKA) through alternative polyadenylation of its mRNA determines miRNA influence and is a feature of cell cycle-specific AURKA expression whose impairment leads to acquisition of cancer phenotypes.

    Competition between myosin II and βH-spectrin regulates cytoskeletal tension

    Consuelo Ibar, Krishna Chinthalapudi ... Kenneth D Irvine
    Insight into the activity of β-heavy spectrin is provided by the discovery that it can compete with myosin for association with F-actin, which provides explanations for its influences on Hippo signaling and morphogenesis.
