The Endoplasmic Reticulum as a Cytoplasmic Anchor for Microtubule-Driven Aster Centration

The paper investigates how the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contributes to microtubule aster centration in sea urchin zygotes through mechanical interactions and 3D modeling.

Lipid transfer by ORP3 is required for the regulation of PI4P and PI(4,5)P2 at the plasma membrane in mitosis

This study shows that ORP3 lipid transfer is essential for regulating PI4P and PI(4,5)P2 levels at the plasma membrane during mitosis, affecting cell division and preventing genetic instability.

Myocardial disarray drives metabolic inefficiency in human cardiomyocytes

This study shows that structured alignment of cardiomyocytes improves mitochondrial function and bioenergetic efficiency, highlighting the role of cellular organization in heart health.

Membrane damage during Candida albicans epithelial invasion is localized to distinct host subcellular niches

This study identifies two distinct host subcellular niches where membrane damage occurs during Candida albicans invasion, with the cell-cell boundary being the main driver of host cell death.

An interkinetic envelope surrounds chromosomes between meiosis I and II in C. elegans oocytes

The paper identifies an interkinetic envelope surrounding chromosomes in C. elegans oocytes during interkinesis, showing it is a distinct structure from the nuclear envelope.
