Cyclin B3 is a dominant fast-acting cyclin that drives rapid early embryonic mitoses

This study identifies cyclin B3 as the key driver of rapid mitoses in early C. elegans embryos, showing it enables faster cell division compared to cyclin B1 and B2.

Bacterial deamidases modulate ubiquitin structure and dynamics to dysregulate ubiquitin signaling

This study shows that deamidation of ubiquitin by bacterial enzymes creates salt bridges that disrupt its structure and dynamics, impairing ubiquitin signaling.

Mechanics of MTOC clustering and spindle positioning in budding yeast Cryptococcus neoformans

The paper investigates MTOC clustering and spindle positioning in Cryptococcus neoformans using a search and capture model and computational simulations.

Helicobacter pylori and Epstein-Barr virus coinfection stimulates the aggressiveness in gastric cancer through the regulation of gankyrin

This study shows that H. pylori and EBV coinfection enhances gastric cancer aggressiveness by upregulating gankyrin, which dysregulates oncogenic pathways.

Aurora kinase Ipl1 facilitates bilobed distribution of clustered kinetochores to ensure error-free chromosome segregation in Candida albicans

This study shows that Ipl1 in C. albicans ensures proper kinetochore geometry for error-free chromosome segregation and ploidy maintenance.
