Conserved nucleocytoplasmic density homeostasis drives cellular organization across eukaryotes

Abin Biswas, Omar Muñoz, Kyoohyun Kim…·Simone Reber

This study shows that the nuclear-to-cytoplasmic density ratio is conserved across eukaryotes and drives cellular organization, with implications for diseases like cancer and senescence.

Selective dissociation of vacant 70S ribosomes by RsfS promotes bacterial adaptation to nutrient starvation

Hong Zhang, Rainer Nikolay, Lu Jiang…·Bo Qin

This study shows RsfS selectively dissociates vacant 70S ribosomes during nutrient starvation, improving bacterial survival by conserving energy.
