Membrane-binding Protein Regulates Cell Motility by Sensing Membrane Tension
A team of Japanese cell biologists has found that the interaction between the degree of plasma membrane tension and a plasma membrane-bending protein regulates cell motility, and that this interaction is disrupted in metastasizing cancer cells. More...17 May 2015

Bee Genomes Create a Buzz in the Fields of Pollination and Immunology
In a large international collaborative study, the genomes of two important pollinating bumblebees have been sequenced, analyzed, and compared with those of other bees, laying an important foundation for identification of biological factors essential for their survival, evolution, conservation, and key roles in our ecosystem and food supply.
