Directed stochasticity: Building biomolecular condensates in the right place

Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

Controlling biomolecular condensate formation within the nucleus is critical for genome function. In this issue, Xu et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202401036) report that KPNA3 promotes histone locus body formation and expression of replication-dependent histone genes by both importing NPAT into the nucleus and preventing NPAT condensation from improperly occurring in the cytoplasm.

Distinct roles of two homologous kinesins in mammalian motile cilia

How do the two kinesin-9 members Kif6 and Kif9 function in mammalian cilia? Ou and colleagues discuss new work from Fang et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202312060) showing that Kif6 is an active motor while Kif9 serves as a stationary regulator, both of which are essential for cilia motility.

An eGFP-Col4a2 mouse model reveals basement membrane dynamics underlying hair follicle morphogenesis

Precisely controlled remodeling of the basement membrane (BM) is crucial for morphogenesis, but its molecular and tissue-level dynamics, underlying mechanisms, and functional significance in mammals remain largely unknown due to limited visualization tools. We developed mouse lines in which the endogenous collagen IV gene (Col4a2) was fused with a fluorescent tag. Through live imaging of […]

Caterpillars can detect their predators by the static electricity they emit

Caterpillars respond defensively to electric fields similar to those emitted by their natural predators, scientists at the University of Bristol have found. In the study, published today in the journal PNAS, experts showed that caterpillar hairs move in response to electric fields and are most sensitive to the frequencies that correspond to the wingbeats frequencies […]

New dart launcher may be better way to inject animals with drugs

A new type of dart launcher has been developed as a safer and more cost-effective alternative to firearms or air guns to inject animals with drugs or tracking chips. Utilizing electromagnetic coils and lidar technology, the prototype was able to consistently deliver a projectile to a target with enough controlled kinetic energy to suggest that […]

Flamingos don’t preen more than other waterbirds

Despite their famously fancy feathers, flamingos don’t spent more time preening than other waterbirds, new research shows. Scientists watched five of the world’s six flamingo species to see how they spend their time. While preening time varied, overall flamingos were roughly average compared to existing studies of other waterbirds. The researchers also examined time spent […]

First conclusive evidence that a terrestrial leech species can jump

A new study presents video evidence that at least one species of terrestrial leech can jump, behavior that scientists have debated for more than a century. Researchers from the American Museum of Natural History, Fordham University, and City University of New York (CUNY)’s Medgar Evers College published the footage and corresponding analysis today in the […]

Study reveals right whales live 130 years — or more

New research published in Science Advances reveals that right whales can survive for more than 130 years — almost twice as long as previously understood. Extreme longevity is a trait common to the right whales’ cousins, the bowheads. Scientists working with Indigenous subsistence hunters in Utqiaġvik used chemical analysis of harvested bowhead whales to show […]

Ant agriculture began 66 million years ago in the aftermath of the asteroid that doomed the dinosaurs

When humans began farming crops thousands of years ago, agriculture had already been around for millions of years. In fact, several animal lineages have been growing their own food since long before humans evolved as a species. According to a new study, colonies of ants began farming fungi when an asteroid struck Earth 66 million […]

Nearly 25% of European landscape could be rewilded, researchers say

Europe’s abandoned farmlands could find new life through rewilding, a movement to restore ravaged landscapes to their wilderness before human intervention. A quarter of the European continent, 117 million hectares, is primed with rewilding opportunities, researchers report August 15 in the Cell Press journal Current Biology. They provide a roadmap for countries to meet the […]

Found at last: Bizarre, egg-laying mammal finally rediscovered after 60 years

More than sixty years after it was last recorded, an expedition team has rediscovered an iconic, egg-laying mammal in one of the most unexplored regions of the world. Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna, named after famed broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, was captured for the first time in photos and video footage using remote trail cameras set up […]

New Results From Rilzabrutinib Phase 2 Study Show Potential to be First Advanced Oral Treatment for Moderate-to-Severe Asthma

Paris, May 22, 2024. Encouraging results from a phase 2 study showed that treatment with oral rilzabrutinib at both high dose and low doses led to a numerical reduction in loss of asthma control (LOAC) events (the primary endpoint) and improvements in symptoms in adult patients with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe asthma. These results were presented today […]
