This study identifies Kif2C as a critical regulator of radial glial cell integrity, showing its role in preventing cortical malformations and linking its dysfunction to human neurodevelopmental disorders.

This study shows that human fibroblasts from aged individuals exhibit chromosomal instability due to oxidative stress-induced replication stress, similar to findings in aged mouse fibroblasts.

The paper introduces Multi-SpinX, an AI framework that extends SpinX to track mitotic spindles and kinetochores in multicellular environments across different mitotic stages.

This study shows Kif23 is essential for proper cytokinesis and neural stem/progenitor cell maintenance in developing mouse and human neocortex, with its disruption leading to microcephaly-like phenotypes.
