چکیده
233 Pex3 peroxisome biogenesis proteins function in peroxisome inheritance as class V myosin receptors Jinlan Chang , Fred D. Mast , Andrei Fagarasanu , Dorian A. Rachubinski , Gary A. Eitzen , Joel B. Dacks , and Richard A. Rachubinski On the cover Temporal changes in the levels of an inhibitor called DIAP1 allow caspases to promote the elongation of sensory organ shaft cells without inducing their death. Inappropriate degradation of DIAP1 causes cell death and a loss of sensory bristles. See page 219. VOL. 187, NO. 2, OCTOBER 19, 2009

Mechanisms and functions of endocytosis
A recent EMBO-FEBS workshop entitled Endocytic Systems: Mechanism and Function, organized by Howard Riezman in Villars-sur-Ollon (Switzerland), showcased the multifaceted approaches and model systems used to study endocytosis. The meeting revealed how endocytosis controls multiple aspects of biology, ranging from development to immunity and neurotransmission.
متن کاملJoan Brugge: Running rings around cancer
JCB • VOLUME 189 • NUMBER 6 • 2010 922 J oan Brugge was an undergraduate at Northwestern University when her sister was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Her sister’s doctors couldn’t say what caused the disease; they speculated that a virus might be involved. This spurred Brugge’s lifelong quest to learn about the causes of cancer, starting with the study of tumor viruses (1). Brugge identifi ed t...
متن کاملNanotubes, exosomes, and nucleic acid–binding peptides provide novel mechanisms of intercellular communication in eukaryotic cells: implications in health and disease
The prevailing view that eukaryotic cells are restrained from intercellular exchange of genetic information has been challenged by recent reports on nanotubes, exosomes, apoptotic bodies, and nucleic acid-binding peptides that provide novel pathways for cell-cell communication, with implications in health and disease.
متن کاملThe cell biological basis of ciliary disease
Defects in cilia cause a broad spectrum of human diseases known collectively as the ciliopathies. Although all ciliopathies arise from defective cilia, the range of symptoms can vary significantly, and only a small subset of the possible ciliary disease symptoms may be present in any given syndrome. This complexity is puzzling until one realizes that the cilia are themselves exceedingly complex...
متن کاملThe JCB DataViewer scales up
One of the major forces driving the birth of the field of cell biology was the application of electron microscopy to cells. Today, virtual nanoscopy has brought electron microscopy and the cell biology community to a new frontier in biological imaging and cell biological inquiry. The Journal of Cell Biology is pleased to announce that the JCB DataViewer is “going big” to host electron microscop...
