Molecular timekeeping in Neurospora crassa is robust even under severe limitation of carbon sources and the efficient adaptation to changing nutrient availability is dependent on the positive component of the circadian clock.

Hextuple knockout of key active zone proteins strongly reduces the pool of synaptic vesicles available for release, but synapse formation persists.

Overexpression of hAC8 engages complex, coordinate adaptation 'circuity' that has evolved in mammalian cells to defend against stress that threatens health or life, and may be important for proper healing in disease states such as heart infarction or failure.

Bayesian inference identifies hidden dynamics underlying noisy cell division data.

Specific gene knockout and signaling inhibition studies indicate the activation of β-catenin-bone morphogenetic protein signaling contributes to the development of fibular hemimelia disease.

Different fixation protocols can both enhance and diminish the appearance of liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) droplets presenting a caveat in using fixed-cell imaging to diagnose LLPS.

Metformin, which promotes the recovery of damaged trabecular meshwork, is a potential intraocular pressure-lowering drug.

Diffusion of differently sized proteins in bacterial cytoplasm is nearly Brownian and consistent with the Stokes-Einstein relation, once protein shape and cell geometry are taken into account, and effects of various perturbation can be described as changes in cytoplasmic viscosity.

A gradient of Mib1-Dll4 within multinucleated muscle fibers maintains a continuum of metastable states within the muscle stem cell pool during tissue homeostasis.

Centrosomal Aurora A (AIR-1), together with cortical actomyosin flows, induces polarization of ECT-2, the activator of RHO-1, during polarization and cytokinesis, in order to promote furrow formation.
