Motion and teleportation of polar bubbles in low-dimensional ferroelectrics

Nanoscale ferroelectric domains called electric bubbles are shown to behave as dynamical particles. Using atomistic simulations and experiments, the authors reveal a bubble liquid phase and demonstrate teleportation-like displacements of single bubbles.

Asymmetric bubble-mediated gas transfer enhances global ocean CO₂ uptake

Field evidence reveals that bubble-mediated CO2 transfer favors invasion. The authors introduce an asymmetric bulk flux equation, suggesting that the global ocean may absorb ~15% more CO2 than previously estimated.

Signalling dynamics in the spindle checkpoint response

The mechanisms underlying spindle checkpoint signalling at the kinetochore, which ensures faithful chromosome segregation during cell division, are being unravelled. They indicate that the checkpoint response is graded rather than switch-like (completely on or off) as traditionally thought, and provide insights for the treatment of cancers in which the checkpoint is bypassed.

Spontaneous jumping, bouncing and trampolining of hydrogel drops on a heated plate

Drops of liquid on a hot surface can exhibit fascinating behaviour such as the Leidenfrost effect in which drops hover on a vapour layer. Here Pham et al. show that when hydrogel drops are placed on a rapidly heated plate they bounce to increasing heights even if they were initially at rest.

A chemical-genetic system to rapidly inhibit the PP2A-B56 phosphatase reveals a role at metaphase kinetochores

Phosphatase enzymes are challenging to study due to a lack of specific inhibitors. Here, authors develop a chemical-genetic system to inhibit and characterize a major Ser/Thr phosphatase complex, and suggest this strategy, termed directSLiMs, could be used to inhibit other “undruggable” enzymes.

The spindle-assembly checkpoint in space and time

The spindle-assembly checkpoint is a safety device that monitors the attachment of spindle microtubules to kinetochores and ensures the fidelity of chromosome segregation in mitosis. Molecular studies are finally starting to reveal the mechanisms of checkpoint activation and inactivation.

Unexpected contribution of fibroblasts to muscle lineage as a mechanism for limb muscle patterning

The dogma is that limb muscle cells originate from somite, while connective tissue fibroblasts derive from lateral plate mesoderm. Here the authors identify a fibroblast population that undergoes myoblast conversion in response to BMP and contributes nuclei to myotubes at the myotendinous junction.

Bub1 kinase phosphorylates histone H2A-T120 at the centromere to recruit shugoshin proteins and promote sister chromatid cohesion during mitosis. Here the authors show that Bub1 autophosphorylation on T589 influences Bub1 dynamics at the kinetochore and restricts H2A-T120 phosphorylation to centromeres.
