Bennu’s Dual-Chirality Amino Acids Spark

NASA’s OSIRIS‑REx mission has ushered in a new era in our understanding of prebiotic chemistry and the dynamic nature of small Solar System bodies by returning pristine samples from the near‑Earth asteroid Bennu. In a groundbreaking development that challenges long‑standing assumptions regarding the origins of life on our planet, researchers have discovered that Bennu’s fragments […]

Sphingolipid metabolism orchestrates establishment of the hair follicle stem cell compartment

Sphingolipids serve as building blocks of membranes to ensure subcellular compartmentalization and facilitate intercellular communication. How cell type–specific lipid compositions are achieved and what is their functional significance in tissue morphogenesis and maintenance has remained unclear. Here, we identify a stem cell–specific role for ceramide synthase 4 (CerS4) in orchestrating fate decisions in skin epidermis. […]

FAM43A coordinates mtDNA replication and mitochondrial biogenesis in response to mtDNA depletion

Mitochondrial retrograde signaling (MRS) pathways relay the functional status of mitochondria to elicit homeostatic or adaptive changes in nuclear gene expression. Budding yeast have “intergenomic signaling” pathways that sense the amount of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) independently of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), the primary function of genes encoded by mtDNA. However, MRS pathways that sense the amount […]

Enhanced Survival Rates Observed with Anatomic Lung Resection in

New research unveiled at the 2025 Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Annual Meeting has significant implications for the surgical treatment outcomes in patients diagnosed with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study examines the long-term survival rates associated with different surgical approaches, particularly anatomic lung resections like lobectomy and segmentectomy, in contrast to wedge […]

Centriolar cap proteins CP110 and CPAP control slow elongation of microtubule plus ends

Centrioles are microtubule-based organelles required for the formation of centrosomes and cilia. Centriolar microtubules, unlike their cytosolic counterparts, are stable and grow very slowly, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we reconstituted in vitro the interplay between the proteins that cap distal centriole ends and control their elongation: CP110, CEP97, and CPAP/SAS-4. We […]

The KNL-1/Knl1 outer kinetochore protein caught regulating F-actin

Kinetochores are multiprotein complexes that link chromosomes to microtubules and are essential for chromosome segregation during cell divisions. In this issue, Alves Domingos et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202311147) show that the conserved KNL-1/Knl1 protein of the Knl1/Mis12/Ndc80 (KMN) outer kinetochore complex postmitotically regulates F-actin to shape somatosensory dendrites.
