Eukaryotic cells face the challenging task of transporting a variety of particles through the
complex intracellular milieu in order to deliver, distribute, and mix the many components that …

Long-distance RNA transport enables local protein synthesis at metabolically-active sites
distant from the nucleus. This process ensures an appropriate spatial organization of …

The fate of future generations depends on a high-quality germ line. For a female to
successfully produce offspring, her oocytes must be successfully specified and their contents …

Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules are membraneless compartments within cells, formed by
phase separation, that function as regulatory hubs for diverse biological processes …

Live imaging of transcription and RNA dynamics has been successful in cultured cells and
tissues of vertebrates but is challenging to accomplish in vivo. The zebrafish offers important …

RNA localization, the enrichment of RNA in a specific subcellular region, is a mechanism for
the establishment and maintenance of cellular polarity in a variety of systems. Ultimately, this …

RNA localization serves numerous purposes from controlling development and
differentiation to supporting the physiological activities of cells and organisms. After a brief …

Localization and local translation of oskar mRNA at the posterior pole of the Drosophila
oocyte directs abdominal patterning and germline formation in the embryo. The process …

Size is a primary feature of biological systems that varies at many levels, from the organism
to its constituent cells and subcellular structures. Amphibians populate some of the extremes …

Exogenous RNA poses a continuous threat to genome stability and integrity across various
organisms. Accumulating evidence reveals complex mechanisms underlying the cellular …
