This June, we celebrate Pride by discussing with Felix Gunawan, assistant professor at the University of Toronto and co-affiliate group leader at the University of Münster, about his personal and acad...

Nature Cell Biology - Paraspeckle condensates are membraneless nuclear organelles linked to stress responses and disease states. We demonstrate that paraspeckle assembly is tightly controlled by...

For a century, the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) has been an essential resource for biologists, fuelling discoveries in areas from cancer to infectious diseases. In this Comment, we outline ...

Programmes that support diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in science are under attack in the USA. Data indicate that diversity in the scientific workforce increases creativity and success in tackl...

Lee et al. show that Ca²⁺ triggers condensates enriched with PDIA6, an ER-resident disulfide isomerase and chaperone, along with other protein disulfide isomerase family proteins and some chaperones t...

This Collection aims to highlight fundamental and translational advances in ECM mechanobiology.

Kletter et al. show that cell state-specific cytoplasmic density controls spindle architecture and scaling in neural differentiation, suggesting that the physical properties of the cytoplasm are a determinant in organelle size control.

Nature Cell Biology - Lu et al. report that biomolecular condensation of cytoplasmic TDP-43 is regulated by HSPB1 to maintain its droplets in liquid and not gel/solid structures and that HSPB1 is...

Villeneuve et al. report coordination of contractile forces during mammalian hair follicle development, with actomyosin contractility and mechanical forces from the epidermis and underlying tissue regulating placode invagination and Sox9 expression.

Intellectual freedom for scientists, unconstrained by commercial interests and direct application, fuels unexpected discoveries. Curiosity-driven, basic science has yielded a deeper understanding of how life forms develop and function in their environment and has had wide implications for health and our planet. Investing in this is vital for scientific progress and is worth protecting in a democracy.

Women and gender minorities make defining contributions to science. Despite increased representation of women across the scientific career ladder, institutions routinely fail to support their career advancement or value their input. For an equitable and intersectional future faculty, definitions of excellence must evolve to better value women’s contributions.

Nature Cell Biology publishes peer-reviewed original research of the highest quality in all areas of cell biology with an emphasis on studies that provide ...

In response to US turmoil, premier establishments such as the European Research Council have sweetened incentives to attract talent.

Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party is trying to topple Liberal government in 28 April election

This Review discusses the recent advances in experimental approaches to interrogate the mechanical forces that mediate tissue deformations during development, highlighting the insights afforded at bot...

Conferences are often held at different venues and feature innovative scientific programs; however, their design rarely changes, and barriers that exclude marginalized scientists persist. We discuss w...

The enduring lack of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in academia is arguably the biggest challenge facing universities. Progress has been slow and dependent on the efforts of marginalized facult...

Scientific questions are universal but the scientific workforce remains skewed, with women and gender minorities still underrepresented. Initiatives such as the Women in Autophagy network promote the careers of these underrepresented groups with a range of free, year-round scientific, mentoring and networking activities for all scientists.

In this collection of Turning Point articles, women researchers from around the world and of diverse scientific backgrounds recount some of their personal ...
