Women's representation in Indian academia and conferences

The paper documents gender inequities in Indian STEM academia and conferences through data collection and analysis, recommending measures to improve women's representation.

Pathogenic aggregates alter actin organization and cellular viscosity resulting in stalled clathrin mediated endocytosis

This study shows that pathogenic protein aggregates disrupt actin organization and cellular viscosity, impairing clathrin-mediated endocytosis in neurodegenerative conditions.

Precision super-resolution cryo-correlative light and electron microscopy for rapid in situ structural analyses of optogenetically-positioned organelles

The paper develops a cryo-CLEM workflow using optogenetics to enable rapid in situ structural analysis of organelles without cryo-focused ion beam milling.

Microtubule-mitochondrial attachmentfacilitates cell division symmetry and propermitochondrial partitioning in fission yeast

The paper shows that microtubule-mitochondrial attachment in fission yeast ensures symmetric cell division and proper mitochondrial distribution.

Single-molecule imaging of cytoplasmic dynein in cellulo reveals the mechanism of motor activation and cargo movement

This study uses single-molecule imaging to reveal how dynein activation and cargo movement occur through stochastic interactions and dynamic binding kinetics.

Cortical tethering of mitochondria by the dynein anchor Mcp5 enables uniparental mitochondrial inheritance during fission yeast meiosis

The paper shows that Mcp5 anchors mitochondria to cell poles in fission yeast meiosis, leading to uniparental mitochondrial inheritance.

Association of mitochondria with microtubules inhibits mitochondrial fission by precluding Dnm1 assembly

The paper shows that mitochondrial-microtubule association inhibits fission by blocking Dnm1 assembly, linking microtubule dynamics to mitochondrial morphology.
