Lithocholic acid associates with skeletal muscle mass and plays an important role in skeletal muscle hypertrophy through activation of the bile acid receptor.

Caenorhabditis elegans utilize multiple strategies to optimize germline mitochondrial genome integrity at the foundational stage of gonad development.

A new mechanism of Rvb1/Rvb2 proteins was found that couples transcription, mRNA granular localization and translation of select genes during glucose starvation stress.

Organellar lipidomics and lipid reporter studies in intact cells reveal how disease-relevant mutations in a sphingolipid biosynthetic enzyme cause a wide-ranging perturbation of lipid distributions and membrane properties along the secretory pathway.

Proximity-assisted photoactivation (PAPA) provides a new way to detect protein–protein interactions in single-molecule imaging of live cells.

Site-specific phosphorylation of the A-kinase anchoring protein 12 (AKAP12) in hepatic stellate cells modulates its scaffolding function and promotes liver fibrosis.

Epidermal PIEZO1 is a key keratinocyte mechanotransducer which mediates normal behavioral and sensory neuron responses to cutaneous mechanical stimulation.

Genetically engineered mouse models show that PLK4 protein and kinase activity are essential for multiciliogenesis, demonstrating that the early steps of centriole assembly are conserved between cycling and multiciliated cells.

The yeast VARP homolog forms a new sorting nexin complex that promotes its own membrane recruitment through GEF activity and regulates the distribution of endosomal proteins.

Multiciliated cells rely on the same master regulator as dividing cells to amplify the number of centrioles needed to generate the hair-like structures that coat their cell surface.
