Self-organizing actin networks drive sequential endocytic protein recruitment and vesicle release on synthetic lipid bilayers

The paper reconstitutes actin-driven vesicle release from lipid bilayers using purified yeast WASP and cytoplasmic extracts, revealing sequential protein recruitment and mechanical forces involved in endocytosis.

Meiotic cellular rejuvenation is coupled to nuclear remodeling in budding yeast

The paper identifies a mechanism in budding yeast where nuclear senescence factors are sequestered and eliminated during meiosis II to prevent their inheritance into gametes.
