Intracellular pH dynamics respond to extracellular matrix stiffening and mediate vasculogenic mimicry through β-catenin

This study shows that ECM stiffness affects intracellular pH, which mediates vasculogenic mimicry through β-catenin in cancer cells.

Myosin 10 uses its MyTH4 and FERM domains differentially to support two aspects of spindle pole biology required for mitotic spindle bipolarity

This study shows Myo10's MyTH4 and FERM domains differentially support spindle pole integrity and supernumerary centrosome clustering, maintaining mitotic spindle bipolarity.

Vision-related convergent gene losses reveal SERPINE3's unknown role in the eye

The paper identifies SERPINE3 as a vision-related gene by analyzing evolutionary gene loss patterns and experimental validation in zebrafish and humans.

Myosin 10 supports mitotic spindle bipolarity by promoting PCM integrity and supernumerary centrosome clustering

This study shows Myo10 maintains mitotic spindle bipolarity by preserving PCM integrity and promoting supernumerary centrosome clustering in cancer cells.

Wheat photosystem II heat tolerance responds dynamically to short and long-term warming

This study examines how wheat's photosystem II heat tolerance changes with short and long-term warming, finding dynamic intraspecies variation and plasticity in critical temperature thresholds.

Dual regulation of the actin cytoskeleton by CARMIL-GAP

This paper identifies CARMIL-GAP as a Dictyostelium protein that regulates actin dynamics by GAP activity on Rac1 and capping protein, showing its critical role in phagocytosis and chemotaxis.
