... this has, once again, been an outstanding experience publishing @jcellsci.bsky.social via @reviewcommons.org
Many thanks to the excellent editorial teams and reviewers for the constructive feedback and supportive handling of the manuscript. This is how scientific publishing should always be!
New paper by Harshath Amal @harshath.bsky.social shows how TGF-β signaling controls epithelial permeability by regulating actomyosin contractility and adhesion. Surprisingly, elevated adhesion can maintain barrier integrity independently of contractility

Our new paper is out @jcellsci.bsky.social 🧬✨ doi.org/10.1242/jcs....@ynagata.bsky.social et al combined single-nucleosome imaging + Fucci probes. H2B-Halo motion stays nearly constant from G1 to G2. H3.3-Halo euchromatin nucleosomes are more mobile, but their motion also stays nearly constant.
In their Review, Anastasia Zhurikhina, Maia Kirkegaard, Alberto Guarnieri and Hanna Martens discuss the mechanisms and mechanics of #aging.

New JCS snapshot - Outer kinetochore proteins form linear elements to regulate vesicle transport
Shane Kowaleski presents the key findings from their JCS paper with Joshua Bembenek and team.

Also in Issue 18:
- Research Highlights on lamin assembly, organelle dynamics in plant cells, prions & mitochondria function and stress granules
- The pyrenoid at a glance
- Review on the mechanisms and mechanics of aging

BARI spotlight: Hanna Marten’s review traces how matrix crosslinking, weak adhesions, and nuclear fragility feed senescence, and how that loop further degrades tissue mechanics. A clear case for resetting the aged mechanical niche. #aging#ECMjournals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...
Started with looking at MS list and thinking: "What the hell is CCT8?"
Ended with: It directly binds MYO10 motor (Yes! MOTOR! Amazing!) domain!
Comes with a beautiful MYO10-proximal (khm filopodial khm) proteomes from TWO cell lines. How similar are they? Is your favourite protein there?Take a peak!
Ana Popović @anagracanin.bsky.social, Guillaume Jacquemet @guijacquemet.bsky.social and colleagues discover that CCT8 associates with the MYO10 motor domain and regulates #filopodia and breast cancer cell invasion.

Nice @jcellsci.bsky.social "at a glance" review about the convergently evolved organizing principles of pyrenoids, chloroplast compartments that enable diverse algae to supercharge #CO2 fixation. BONUS: It comes with a poster for your wall 🖼️. Great work @phaips.vd.st & @manondemulder.bsky.social 🌊🌾🧪
If you’ve always been curious about how algae fix carbon, @phaips.vd.st, @cellarchlab.com and I have put together the quickest route into pyrenoids. And if you don’t feel like reading at all, we have an accompanying poster
