Transferred mitochondria do not always regulate cell behavior by simply restoring mitochondrial function, but rather, transferred mitochondria are dysfunctional, initiating downstream signaling and proliferation in response to reactive oxygen species.

Force applied to the cell membrane reversibly changes a voltage-insensitive gating step of a prokaryotic voltage-gated sodium channel.

HUWE1 indirectly mediates the return to cellular homeostasis after pro-inflammatory responses, which it does by controling the stability of the immune suppressor tristetraprolin.

The combination of the MS2 system with the Suntag system as a signal amplifier allows enhanced single-molecule mRNA imaging in live cells and animals.

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.
