The paper identifies the Lateral Protein Cluster (LPC) as a conserved molecular machinery linking radial cell polarity to plant morphogenesis in Arabidopsis and Marchantia polymorpha.

This study shows RNA G-quadruplexes scaffold alpha-synuclein aggregation, leading to neurodegeneration, and demonstrates that inhibiting this process can alleviate symptoms in a mouse model.

The paper investigates how microtubules regulate the positioning of vegetative nuclei and sperm cells in Arabidopsis pollen tubes, showing their role in maintaining nuclear order and reproductive success.
