Abstract. Scientists are increasingly overwhelmed by the volume of articles being published. The total number of articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science has grown exponentially in recent years; ...

The intracellular space is a crowded environment where macromolecules perform distinct tasks despite pervasive "non-specific" interactions. Whether these interactions are functionally relevant and how...

Guan et al. show that bacteria use protein homologs with different material properties to regulate biomolecular condensates. By tuning the abundance of these proteins in heterotypic assemblies, bacteria balance condensate dynamics and stability, thereby maintaining fitness during stress.

Animal cells extensively remodel their cytoskeleton during differentiation and can notably switch between two major motility modes: flagellum-based swimming and actin-based crawling. We previously sho...

Nature Reviews Genetics - Christian Landry reflects on a 2002 study by Brem, Yvert and colleagues, which combined yeast genetics and genome-wide expression profiling to reveal the genetic...

All kingdoms of life have developed strategies to limit viral infection. In humans, interferons induce a suite of antiviral factors that collectively provide immunity. Some human immune genes are homo...

Regulated cell death (RCD) relies on finely tuned cellular programs traditionally understood to be regulated by cellular signaling. In this review, Tang and colleagues propose cellular metabolism as a gatekeeper of RCD, coordinating context-specific cell death programs across pathophysiological settings.

A new study reveals that a specialized population of mitochondria in the Caenorhabditis elegans uterine anchor cell is remodeled and enriched in machinery needed for optimal local energy production to...
