Gudlin, Vukušić, Novak and colleagues propose spindle scaling in response to chromosome crowding consistent across eukaryotes. They show that metaphase plate width scales with genome size following a ...

Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that remodel their shape to regulate cell fate. Mitochondrial division involves interactions with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), lysosomes, and trans-Golgi network...

Kevan Shokat, PhD, a professor of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology at UC San Francisco who discovered how to disable KRAS, a seemingly unstoppable cancer-driving protein, has won the Stephenson Glo...

A biweekly scientific journal publishing high-quality research in molecular biology and genetics, cancer biology, biochemistry, and related fields

The cellular distribution of mitochondria in response to stress and local energy needs is governed by the relative activities of the microtubule-based molecular motors kinesin and dynein. The mechanis...

RNase L, which promiscuously degrades cytoplasmic RNA, is an important effector of antiviral responses. Mao et al. demonstrate that RNase L activation leads to a repression of transcription, uncovering a significant additional strategy by which RNase L reshapes the cellular gene expression environment.

Intracellular transport of macromolecules is crucial for the proper functioning of most cellular processes. Although intracellular crowding is know...

EMBL and its community are deeply saddened by the death of Peer Bork, the organisation’s Interim Director General.

By studying fundamental mechanisms regulating short- and long-term metabolic adaptation to genetic and chemical perturbations, our lab aims at finding new and unconventional therapeutic strategies, fr...
