RNA granules: the good, the bad and the ugly
MG Thomas, M Loschi, MA Desbats, GL Boccaccio - Cellular signalling, 2011 - Elsevier
Processing bodies (PBs) and Stress Granules (SGs) are the founding members of a new
class of RNA granules, known as mRNA silencing foci, as they harbour transcripts …

Kinesin assembly and movement in cells
Long-distance transport in eukaryotic cells is driven by molecular motors that move along
microtubule tracks. Molecular motors of the kinesin superfamily contain a kinesin motor …

Convergent and complementary selection shaped gains and losses of eusociality in sweat bees
Sweat bees have repeatedly gained and lost eusociality, a transition from individual to group
reproduction. Here we generate chromosome-length genome assemblies for 17 species …
