This study identifies NEMP1 as a critical organizer of meiotic telomere-nuclear envelope coupling and chromosome dynamics in mouse oocytes, showing its role in telomere integrity and genome stability.

The paper shows that the nuclear fragment of fat cadherin, generated by cleavage, regulates gene expression by interacting with Hippo pathway components and other factors.

The paper shows the Hippo pathway regulates axis formation in Hydra, upstream of Wnt, by controlling budding, actin organization, and cell proliferation.

This study identifies Fat-like and Dachsous cadherins in Hydra, showing their role in cell adhesion and planar polarity, suggesting ancient functions in bilaterian evolution.
