Genetically encoded reporters of actin filament organization in living cells and tissues

This paper develops genetically encoded fluorescent reporters to quantify actin filament organization in living cells and tissues using fluorescence polarization microscopy.

Cellular, Molecular, and Enzymatic Signatures ofThrombi are Vascular Bed-Dependent

This study compares cellular and enzymatic features of arterial and venous thrombi from different vascular beds, finding distinct molecular profiles and enzyme activities linked to vascular remodeling.

Human septins in cells organize as octamer-based filaments mediating actin-membrane anchoring

This study shows that human septins form octamer-based filaments that mediate actin-membrane anchoring, as demonstrated through various imaging and biophysical techniques.

Septin-microtubule association requires a MAP-like motif unique to Sept9 isoform 1 embedded into septin octamers

The paper identifies a MAP-like motif in Sept9 isoform 1 that drives septin-microtubule interaction and shows how HNA mutations disrupt this association.

An anaphase surveillance mechanism prevents micronuclei formation from mitotic errors

This study identifies an Aurora B kinase-mediated mechanism that prevents micronuclei formation by integrating error correction with nuclear envelope reformation during anaphase.
