Cell ‐Cycle‐Dependent Regulation of Cell Adhesions: Adhering to the Schedule
Cell ‐ECM adhesion changes biphasically as cells progress from G1 to S to G2. In mitosis, focal adhesions are replaced by αVβ5 integrin‐mediated reticular adhesions at the tips of retraction fibers. Focal adhesions disassemble during mitosis, but surprisingly little is known about how these structures respond to other phases of the cell cycle. Three recent papers reveal unexpected results as they examine adhesions through the cell cycle. A biphasic response is detected where focal adhesions grow during S phase before disassembly begins early in G2. In M phase, activated integrins at the tips of retraction fibers anch...

Amphioxus represents the most basally divergent group in chordates and probably the best extant proxy to the ancestor of all chordates including vertebrates. The amphioxus, or lancelets, are benthic filter feeding marine animals and their interest as a model in research is due to their phylogenetic position and their anatomical and genetic stasis throughout their evolutionary history. In article number1800130, Hector Escriva reviews the discovery and development of amphioxus as a superb model organism in evolutionary and evolutionary ‐developmental biology. (Source: BioEssays)

African trypanosomes cause human and veterinary disease throughout sub ‐Saharan Africa. The parasite cycles between the insect vector, tsetse flies, and the mammalian host, where they live free in the blood and extracellular spaces. Trypanosomes use a remarkable process of antigenic variation to survive in the face of the host adaptive immune response. Further detail s can be found in article number1800181 by James D. Bangs.Photo Credits:Trypanosome: Peter Bush, School of Dental Medicine, University at Buffalo AfricanCattle: Keith Matthews, Institute of Immunology and Infection Research, University of EdinburghPostprandi...
