This study identifies FAM83H as a regulator linking keratin organization to Notch signaling in epidermal morphogenesis, showing its role in keratinocyte differentiation and cell-cell adhesion.

This study identifies JCAD as a scaffold that links tight junction condensates to actin and RhoA, enabling endothelial barrier adaptation to inflammation.

StrataChip enables dynamic study of human epidermal morphogenesis by integrating microfluidics with single-cell RNA-sequencing and imaging, revealing transcriptional and mechanical transitions during stratification.

The paper compares monomeric StayGold variants using protein nanocages in living cells, finding mStayGold is 3-fold brighter and more photostable than EGFP and other variants.

This study shows DCX stabilizes microtubules in growth cones, enabling neuron morphogenesis in soft environments by resisting actomyosin contractile forces.

The paper identifies key residues in G3BPs that drive stress granule formation and gene expression changes under cellular stress, with G3BP2B showing specific roles in ER stress.

This study identifies TRIM1 as an E3 ligase that ubiquitinates LRRK2, regulating its localization, degradation, and toxicity in Parkinson's Disease.

This paper shows that the TRPV channel OSM-9 is required for sleep-dependent olfactory memory in C. elegans, despite being expressed in sensory neurons not involved in butanone attraction.
