Kinetic Control of Out-Of-Equilibrium Dynamics in the RhoA Signaling Cascade Shapes Actomyosin Contractility

Serena Prigent Garcia, Etienne Pinard, Camille N. Plancke…·François Robin

The paper investigates the kinetic delays in the RhoA signaling cascade during actomyosin contractility in C. elegans embryos and shows they actively control force deployment.

Germline inherited small RNAs clear untranslated maternal mRNAs in C. elegans embryos

Piergiuseppe Quarato, Meetali Singh, Eric Cornes…·Germano Cecere

This study shows that C. elegans embryos use inherited small RNAs to cleave and remove maternal mRNAs through the catalytic activity of Argonaute CSR-1.
