Giant neuron derived vesicles called exophers are processed by phagocytosis in neighboring skin cells, and the phagocytic interaction promotes exopher production.

MTIF3 safeguards mitochondrial electron transport chain assembly in adipocytes, and affects thus adipocyte fatty acid oxidation ability, which can explain why MTIF3 genetic variation can influence dietary intervention aimed at weight loss.

A proteomics screening in mouse adipose tissue shows that loss of adipose Hexokinase 2 is a mechanism of obesity-induced insulin insensitivity.

The information stored in glycans is interpreted and read by cell surface-exposed lectin receptors, and with information theory, the formal framework is set for how to analyze such complex single-cell data.

Development of nanoluciferase complementation-based tau biosensors to detect tau conformational change and oligomerization in living cells in high-throughput assays.

Combining live imaging and advanced electron microscopy gives insights into the structural integrity of the nematode epidermis and its intimate connection with the extracellular matrix.

Promotion of microtubule pausing by a kinetochore module controls meiotic spindle assembly in Caenorhabditis elegans oocytes.

Single-cell RNA sequencing provides a detailed understanding of the cues controlling in vitro differentiation of human B cells into antibody-secreting cells (ASCs), uncovering a novel pre-ASC population present ex vivo in lymphoid tissues that progress through a germinal center-like state.

Bone marrow adipogenic precursors synthesize Csf1 to control bone remodeling and hematopoiesis.

A highly sophisticated and adaptive interplay between modulation of myosin II function by light chain phosphorylation and environmentally controlled formin availability, is critical for a successful cytokinesis during respiratory carbohydrate metabolism in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
