This study examines intercellular bridges in Hydra vulgaris, identifying conserved components and revealing their evolutionary significance in cellular connectivity and coordination.

The paper shows that midbody reorganization precedes ring canal formation in germ cells across species, challenging existing models of cytokinesis.

The paper shows tissue-specific stop codon readthrough in Drosophila kelch gene, with high-efficiency readthrough in CNS neurons and potential for extended neuronal proteome.

The paper shows that ring canals in Drosophila testes allow cytoplasm sharing during spermatogenesis, independent of fusomes.

The paper identifies HtsRC as a substrate of the CRL3Kelch ubiquitin ligase complex, showing its role in ring canal expansion through proteasomal degradation.
