Spatiotemporal regulation of microRNA-mediated gene silencing in cells
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by silencing mRNAs with complementary sequences. Over the past few decades, genetic and biochemical studies have revealed the molecular machinery and mechanisms u...

Cell-cycle-resolved τSTED nanoscopy reveals nanoscale reorganization of TGN46-positive structures
The Golgi apparatus is a highly organized membrane system whose structure is remodeled during cell-cycle progression, but nanoscale changes in individual Golgi subdomains during interphase remain incompletely understood. Here, we used Fu...

Tissue tension release induces Vinculin-dependent epithelial delamination in Drosophila pupal wings
Mechanical forces play critical roles in tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis, yet how tissue mechanics are translated into epithelial cell delamination remains poorly understood. Here, we use the Drosophila pupal wing as an in vivo mode...

Looking back on 50 years of cell biology in Japan
Cell Structure and Function (CSF), the official journal of the Japan Society for Cell Biology (JSCB), celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025. This essay traces the scientific evolution of CSF from its founding in 1975 to the present, dr...

Jaw1 controls the granule abundance at a distinct ER compartment of pancreatic acinar cells
Pancreatic acinar cells (PACs) are specialized for the production and secretion of digestive enzymes. PACs are highly polarized, with rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) located in the basal and lateral regions, while zymogen granules (ZG) ...

CCL5 enhances invasion of squamous cell carcinoma via syndecan-1-dependent ERK signaling
Cancer cells form clusters and invade the surrounding stroma. This phenomenon is associated with metastasis and poor prognosis in patients with cancer. Therefore, prevention of invasion may improve cancer therapy. A previous study sugges...

Metformin attenuates cuprizone-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and senescence-associated changes in primary neuronal cells
Mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular senescence are key features of brain aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Cuprizone (CPZ), a mitochondrial toxin, induces oxidative stress, abnormal lipid metabolism, and iron accumulation in neuro...

Loss of macroautophagy results in abnormality of the endoplasmic reticulum in insulin-secreting MIN6 cells
Macroautophagy is a highly conserved system that degrades various materials inside the cell ranging from proteins to organelles. Atg5 is a protein essential for the formation of autophagosomes, which sequester materials by double membran...

Identification of Rab30 as a novel regulator of tubular endosomes
Tubular-shaped recycling endosomes, known as tubular endosomes, are present in certain types of cells, including HeLa cells, and they regulate the recycling of clathrin-independent endocytosed (CIE) cargo proteins to the plasma membrane....

Changes in nuclear morphology and size in mammalian temperature-sensitive mutants
Nuclear morphology alters during development and disease. Nuclear size and shape are regulated through several mechanisms. In this study, details of phenotypes of temperature-sensitive mutants, which were isolated from Chinese hamster CH...
