In quiescent G0 phase, Schizosaccharomyces pombe Mis4 ensures full nuclear separation during the subsequent M phase

This study shows that Mis4 is essential for proper nuclear separation in fission yeast after quiescence, with implications for human diseases involving NIPBL.

Phosphorylation of Aly3 C-terminus impedes aberrant endocytosis of S. pombe hexose transporter Ght5

This study identifies phosphorylation sites in Aly3 that regulate Ght5 endocytosis and proliferation in low glucose in fission yeast.

Arrayed CRISPRi library to suppress genes required for Schizosaccharomyces pombe viability

The paper constructs CRISPRi libraries to knock down essential genes in S. pombe, revealing metabolic pathway interactions and enabling functional studies of essential genes.

High Shear Stress Reduces ERG Causing Endothelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

The paper shows high shear stress induces endothelial-mesenchymal transition and pulmonary arterial hypertension by reducing ERG expression, which can be mitigated by ERG replenishment.

Structure of the Commander endosomal trafficking complex linked to X-linked intellectual disability/Ritscher-Schinzel syndrome

The paper presents the structural model of the Commander endosomal trafficking complex, identifies disease-causing mutations, and reveals its molecular function in trafficking.
