This study identifies α-catenin mechanosensitivity as a driver of cytokinesis failure through sequestration of LZTS2, linking it to polyploidization and retinal dystrophy.

This study investigates how multiple stressors affect recruitment efficiency in endangered freshwater mussels, identifying parasitic and post-parasitic juvenile stages as critical bottlenecks.

This study identifies a somatic Afadin mutation that destabilizes adherens junctions and promotes metastatic growth in breast cancer by disrupting E-catenin binding.

The paper assesses recruitment status and host-fish limitation threats to endangered freshwater pearl mussels in eastern Hokkaido, finding low juvenile proportions and a positive link between juvenile presence and host-fish density.

The paper investigates the evolution and function of the intrinsically disordered region (IDR) of Canoe in linking cell-cell junctions to the cytoskeleton during Drosophila embryonic development.

This study identifies how volcanic rock-dominated watersheds create cold water refugia in mountain streams, which are more resilient to climate change than non-volcanic streams.

The study reveals a genetic structure in fluvial sculpin populations influenced by groundwater-dependent temperature heterogeneity, showing asymmetric gene flow rather than temperature-driven differentiation.

The paper identifies a mechanism by which extracellular domain EGFR mutations in glioblastoma are activated through covalent dimerization, rendering ATP-site inhibitors ineffective and paradoxically promoting proliferation.
