Scinderin-driven Golgi Actin Remodeling coordinates GLP-1 and insulin secretion to regulate glucose homeostasis

Laura Martín-Díaz, Maarit S. Patrikainen, Chen Chongtham…·Keijo M. Viiri

This study identifies Scinderin as a regulator of Golgi actin remodeling that coordinates GLP-1 and insulin secretion, linking intracellular trafficking defects to glucose homeostasis and diabetes.

Nucleus softens during herpesvirus infection

Aapo Tervonen, Visa Ruokolainen, Simon Leclerc…·Maija Vihinen‐Ranta

This study shows that the nucleus softens during herpesvirus infection due to reduced outward forces and low biomolecular density in the viral replication compartment.

A sperm-enriched 5'fragment of tRNA-Valine regulates preimplantation embryonic transcriptome and development

Simeiyun Liu, Andrew Holmes, Alka Gupta…·Upasna Sharma

This study identifies a sperm-enriched tRFValCAC that regulates early embryonic mRNA splicing and preimplantation development through interactions with hnRNPAB.
