The paper shows Rax1/2 mark growth history and activate Ras1 at old cell ends to ensure polarized growth and shape maintenance across generations.

This study shows that the Arp2/3 complex-dependent branched actin network is essential for nuclear envelope fenestration and SPB insertion during mitosis in fission yeast.

The paper shows that endocytic patch dynamics in fission yeast are differentially regulated at cell ends, division site, and cell sides by Cdc42 and Pak1 kinase.

The paper identifies gene expression changes during the cell cycle that drive the transition from monopolar to bipolar growth in fission yeast.

This study shows Scd1 diffuses end-to-end in Schizosaccharomyces pombe to regulate Cdc42 oscillations and bipolar growth.

This study shows that septins regulate Rga4 localization during the cell cycle in fission yeast, controlling Cdc42 activation dynamics and bipolar growth.

This study shows that the Arp2/3 complex enables Pak1 removal through endocytosis, allowing Cdc42 reactivation and oscillations in S. pombe.
