Conserved nucleocytoplasmic density homeostasis drives cellular organization across eukaryotes
Nature Communications - Cells can regulate their mass density. Here, the authors demonstrate how eukaryotes establish and maintain a lower density in the nucleus than in the cytoplasm via pressure...

Spatial proteomics of ER tubules reveals CLMN, an ER-actin tether at focal adhesions that promotes cell migration
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is structurally and functionally diverse, yet how its functions are organized within morphological subdomains is incomp…

Mechanistic basis of temperature adaptation in microtubule dynamics across frog species
Despite tubulin’s evolutionary conservation, microtubule dynamics are highly temperature sensitive. Troman et al. use natural tubulin variants from closely related Xenopus species to show that a decrease in tubulin’s apparent activation energy and weakening of lateral lattice contacts stabilize microtubules in cold-adapted frogs.
