Mitofusin 1 is degraded at G2/M phase through ubiquitylation by MARCH5
Background Mitochondria exhibit a dynamic morphology in cells and their biogenesis and function are integrated with the nuclear cell cycle. In mitotic cells, the filamentous network structure of mitochondria takes on a fragmented form.

Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...

Deterministic and stochastic descriptions of gene expression dynamics
A key goal of systems biology is the predictive mathematical description of gene regulatory circuits. Different approaches are used such as deterministic and stochastic models, models that describe cell growth and division explicitly or implicitly etc ...

A software solution for recording circadian oscillator features in time-lapse live cell microscopy
Background Fluorescent and bioluminescent time-lapse microscopy approaches have been successfully used to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying the mammalian circadian oscillator at the single cell level. However, most of the available software and

Stochastic stem cell models with mutation: A comparison of asymmetric and symmetric divisions [PDF]
In order to fulfill cell proliferation and differentiation through cellular hierarchy, stem cells can undergo either asymmetric or symmetric divisions. Recent studies pay special attention to the effect of different modes of stem cell division on the lifetime risk of cancer, and report that symmetric division is more beneficial to delay the onset of ...

Mathematical modeling of heterogeneous stem cell regeneration: from cell division to Waddington's epigenetic landscape [PDF]
Stem cell regeneration is a crucial biological process for most self-renewing tissues during the development and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. In developing the mathematical models of stem cell regeneration and tissue development, cell division is the core process connecting different scale biological processes and leading to changes in cell ...

Ligand recognition by 14‐3‐3 proteins requires negative charges but not necessarily phosphorylation
Interactions of 14‐3‐3 proteins with their binding partners are attributed to phosphorylation of the binding partners. In this work, we show that at least one negative charge is required for the peptides to bind 14‐3‐3ε, although phosphorylation is not necessary, and that two negative charges are preferable for high affinity binding.

Modelling protein localisation and positional information in subcellular systems [PDF]
Cells and their component structures are highly organised. The correct function of many biological systems relies upon not only temporal control of protein levels but also spatial control of protein localisation within cells.

Promiscuous and lineage-specific roles of cell cycle regulators in haematopoiesis
Haematopoietic cell number is maintained by a delicate balance between cell proliferation, differentiation and death. Gene knockout studies in mice have revealed the complex roles of cyclins, CDKs, and CDK inhibitors in regulating cell proliferation and ...

An automated image analysis framework for segmentation and division plane detection of single live Staphylococcus aureus cells which can operate at millisecond sampling time scales using bespoke Slimfield microscopy [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen, giving rise to antimicrobial resistance in cell strains such as Methicillin Resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Here we report an image analysis framework for automated detection and image segmentation of cells in S. aureus cell clusters, and explicit identification of their cell division planes.
