FXR proteins and BICD2 cooperate to promote dynein-mediated RNP transport and stress granule assembly

This study shows that FXR proteins and BICD2 work together to activate dynein for RNP transport and stress granule formation, revealing separable steps in dynein-mediated transport.

Post-transcriptional glucocorticoid receptor signalling synchronises circadian rhythms

The paper shows that glucocorticoid receptor signaling resets circadian rhythms through post-transcriptional mechanisms, not transcriptional activation.

Mechanical and Growth Anisotropy in Chara corallina: Challenging Green's Hypothesis

This study challenges Green's hypothesis by showing a moderate correlation between elastic compliance and growth strain rates in Chara corallina, primarily in the axial direction.

Temporal and spatial coordination of DNA segregation and cell division in an archaeon.

This study investigates how DNA segregation and cell division are coordinated in archaea, identifying regulatory checkpoints and proteins involved in ensuring accurate genome distribution.

The intracellular bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi hijacks the adaptor protein BICD2 for dynein-based motility

This study identifies how Orientia tsutsugamushi uses ScaC to recruit BICD2 for dynein-based motility, revealing a mechanism for bacterial transport within host cells.

Novel dopaminergic neurotransmission in the Octopus visual system

The paper identifies novel dopamine and acetylcholine ionotropic receptors in the octopus visual system, revealing distinct neurochemical mechanisms compared to mammals.

Calcium dynamics tune timing of developmental transitions to generate evolutionarily divergent axon tract lengths

The paper shows that slower axon growth in humans, driven by reduced calcium influx, leads to longer axon tracts through prolonged growth duration, with calcium dynamics regulating developmental timing.

Recognition of phylogenetically diverse pathogens through enzymatically amplified recruitment of RNF213

This study identifies how RNF213 recognizes diverse pathogens through enzymatic amplification of cooperative recruitment.

Shulin packages axonemal outer dynein arms for ciliary targeting

The paper identifies two factors, Q22YU3 and Q22MS1, that package axonemal outer dynein arms for ciliary targeting in Tetrahymena.

The molecular infrastructure of glutamatergic synapses in the mammalian forebrain

This study uses cryo-electron tomography to reveal the 3D molecular architecture of glutamatergic synapses in the adult mammalian forebrain, showing a synaptoplasm rather than a distinct PSD.

Rho-kinase planar polarisation at tissue boundaries depends on phospho-regulation of membrane residence time

The paper shows that Rho-kinase membrane residence time is regulated by phospho-modulation at tissue boundaries, affecting planar polarization during morphogenesis.

Cerebral organoids at the air-liquid interface generate diverse nerve tracts with functional output

This study shows that cerebral organoids cultured at the air-liquid interface form functional nerve tracts with diverse morphologies and connectivity.

MAVS polymers smaller than 80 nm induce mitochondrial membrane remodeling and interferon signaling

The paper shows MAVS polymers induced by dsRNA are smaller than 80 nm and require the transmembrane domain for mitochondrial remodeling and interferon signaling.
