Disparate functions of low complexity regions of proteins can be understood through a global view of their sequences, features, and relationships across different organisms and biological contexts.

Fission yeasts cells have about 190 cytokinesis nodes in a broad band at the equator which scales with cell size and most but not all nodes condense into the contractile ring.

Signalling filopodia, also known as cytonemes, are a crucial transport mechanism of Wnt3 in gastric cancer and their emergence is controlled by Flot2.

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals HLJ1 as a novel immunomodulator for multicellular pathway of macrophages and NK cells, contributing to organ injury and sepsis death through amplified IL-12/IFN-γ axis.

Effects of dietary lipids on organismal function and reproductive fitness are persistent and may depend on lipid identity, cause the evolution of lipid-based diet choice, alter food webs, change species responses to environmental change, and affect human nutrition.

Ciliogenesis requires a gap junction protein (GJA1) mediated ciliary vesicle deposition and CP110 removal.

A deep learning-based image classification pipeline unleashes automated division counting and replicative lifespan analyses of single cells growing in microfluidic cellular traps.

Comparing the relative similarity of cellular molecules to alternate templates allows classification of related complexes in the cell using fewer particles than needed for 3D classification and is more practicable for low abundance complexes.

Local ATP production by the plasma membrane-associated glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase is essential for the nutrient-dependent closure of the ATP-sensitive potassium channels that initiate insulin release from pancreatic β-cells.

Four conserved ciliary localization signals in the Joubert syndrome-associated INPP5E phosphoinositide phosphatase control its ciliary accumulation.
