    Adiponectin receptor agonist AdipoRon improves skeletal muscle function in aged mice

    Priya Balasubramanian, Anne E Schaar ... Rozalyn M Anderson
    Activation of adiponectin receptors in young and aged mice induces changes in muscular metabolism via stimulation of AMPK and PGC-1a and ameliorates age-related muscle loss of function.

    Multiple motors cooperate to establish and maintain acentrosomal spindle bipolarity in C. elegans oocyte meiosis

    Gabriel Cavin-Meza, Michelle M Kwan, Sarah M Wignall
    Rapid depletion of dynein from oocytes yielded new insights into acentrosomal pole organization and also led to the first evidence that the kinesin-5 motor BMK-1 plays a role in microtubule organization during C. elegans meiosis.

    Persistent cell migration emerges from a coupling between protrusion dynamics and polarized trafficking

    Kotryna Vaidžiulytė, Anne-Sophie Macé ... Mathieu Coppey
    Quantitative proof that persistent cell migration in the timescale of hours relies on a feedback between polarized trafficking and protrusive activity stabilizing cell front.

    Adult mouse fibroblasts retain organ-specific transcriptomic identity

    Elvira Forte, Mirana Ramialison ... Milena B Furtado
    Adult mouse fibroblasts maintain an embryonic gene expression signature, inherited from their organ of origin, that is important for organ homeostasis and fibrosis, and may assist in targeting fibrotic diseases in an organ-specific manner.

    Macrophage network dynamics depend on haptokinesis for optimal local surveillance

    Neil Paterson, Tim Lämmermann
    Macrophages use integrin-dependent 3D movement and cell protrusiveness, which control cell motility and space exploration as a prerequisite for optimal clearance of particles and dead cells by macrophage networks.

    The TFIIH complex is required to establish and maintain mitotic chromosome structure

    Julian Haase, Richard Chen ... Alexander E Kelly
    The general transcription factor TFIIH complex promotes the establishment and maintenance of chromosome structure during mitosis by altering the chromatin environment to allow for proper loading and function of the condensin complexes on chromatin.

    Cortical microtubule pulling forces contribute to the union of the parental genomes in the Caenorhabditis elegans zygote

    Griselda Velez-Aguilera, Batool Ossareh-Nazari ... Lionel Pintard
    Cortical microtubule pulling forces influence nuclear envelope breakdown, while nuclear envelope remodeling, particularly lamina depolymerization, impacts mitotic spindle length during mitosis.

    Pericyte-mediated constriction of renal capillaries evokes no-reflow and kidney injury following ischaemia

    Felipe Freitas, David Attwell
    Renal capillary pericytes are a novel therapeutic target for reducing sustained reduction in renal blood flow ('no-reflow') after kidney ischaemia.

    Remodeling of dermal adipose tissue alleviates cutaneous toxicity induced by anti-EGFR therapy

    Leying Chen, Qing You ... Shiyi Zhang
    Modulation of dermal adipocytes contributes to skin homeostasis and provides a promising new therapeutic strategy in the treatment of EGFRI-related skin disorders.

    TIGAR deficiency enhances skeletal muscle thermogenesis by increasing neuromuscular junction cholinergic signaling

    Yan Tang, Haihong Zong ... Jeffrey E Pessin
    TIGAR deficiency in cholinergic neuron enhanced intracellular acetyl-CoA levels and pyruvate dehydrogenase flux into the TCA cycle that drives increased cholinergic tone with reduced heart rate and blood pressure and raised resistance against the paralytic curare and cold-induced hypothermia.
