Experiments on yeast show that the nuclear pore complex has a central role in the loss of chromosomes associated with aging.

Aging results in remodeling of the nuclear pore complex and leakage of intron-containing pre-mRNA out of the nucleus, altering gene function and mitotic stability of old cells.

Deep3DSIM enables super-resolution imaging >130 µm into complex tissues of fixed and live specimens in an upright configuration, allowing sample manipulation, as well as rapid refocusing without the need to move the specimen or objective lens.

An RNAi based genetic screen and subsequent analyses reveal how dyneins and small GTPases coordinate autophagosome positioning at the ncMTOC in fat cells, advancing understanding of autophagic vesicle transport.

Intermolecular steric repulsion generated by glycans on the cell membrane inhibits viral infection by preventing the formation of a virus-cell interface, regardless of the identity of molecules for glycan modification.

Mouse sperm are unable to bind the zebrafish chorion, yet a subset of hyperactivated sperm can enter and cross the micropyle, suggesting a conserved mechanism of gamete interaction across species.
