    A ratchet-like apical constriction drives cell ingression during the mouse gastrulation EMT

    Alexandre Francou, Kathryn V Anderson, Anna-Katerina Hadjantonakis
    High-resolution live and fixed tissue imaging combined with cell and tissue scale data analyses revealed that a ratchet-like constriction of the apical surfaces of cells drives the first step of an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition taking place during mouse gastrulation.

    Transcriptional drifts associated with environmental changes in endothelial cells

    Yalda Afshar, Feyiang Ma ... M Luisa Iruela-Arispe
    Nearly half of the transcriptome is altered when endothelial cells transition in vitro, expression patterns for some genes are regained by exposing cells to shear stress and others through exposure to smooth muscle cells.

    Gene Expression: How their environment influences endothelial cells

    Xuejing Liu, Zhen Bouman Chen
    Changes in gene expression in cultured endothelial cells can be partially reversed by simulating in vivo conditions.

    PASK links cellular energy metabolism with a mitotic self-renewal network to establish differentiation competence

    Michael Xiao, Chia-Hua Wu ... Chintan K Kikani
    Stem cell heterogeneity is progressively built in proliferating population by the action of mitochondrial glutamine metabolism that opposes the cell cycle-linked self-renewal network to generate differentiation-competent progenitors.

    The autophagy receptor NBR1 directs the clearance of photodamaged chloroplasts

    Han Nim Lee, Jenu Varghese Chacko ... Marisa S Otegui
    Photodamaged chloroplasts are targeted for vacuolar degradation through microautophagy by the NBR1 autophagy receptor without the participation of the canonical autophagy machinery.

    BUB-1 and CENP-C recruit PLK-1 to control chromosome alignment and segregation during meiosis I in C. elegans oocytes

    Samuel JP Taylor, Laura Bel Borja ... Federico Pelisch
    PLK-1 regulates multiple steps during oocyte meiosis I and is recruited to meiotic chromosomes through a dual mechanism involving BUB-1 and CENP-C.

    Inactivation of Invs/Nphp2 in renal epithelial cells drives infantile nephronophthisis like phenotypes in mouse

    Yuanyuan Li, Wenyan Xu ... Zhaoxia Sun
    Genetic and chemical genetic analysis pinpoint defective epithelial cells as the driver for NPHP like phenotypes in Invs mutants, demonstrate genetic interaction between Invs and Ift88 and identify the HDAC inhibitor valproic acid as a suppressor for Invs mutant phenotypes.

    Axon guidance genes modulate neurotoxicity of ALS-associated UBQLN2

    Sang Hwa Kim, Kye D Nichols ... Randal S Tibbetts
    Axon guidance genes are conserved regulators of neurodegeneration in Drosophila melanogaster and human inducible motor neuron models of UBQLN2-associated amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

    Calaxin stabilizes the docking of outer arm dyneins onto ciliary doublet microtubule in vertebrates

    Hiroshi Yamaguchi, Motohiro Morikawa, Masahide Kikkawa
    Zebrafish genetics and sperm cryo-electron tomography reveal a novel function of Calaxin as a docking complex component stabilizing the outer arm dynein onto the ciliary doublet microtubule.
