Research Highlight - Zinc poisoning belongs to the killing repertoire of Dictyostelium
In their Research Article, Caroline Barisch and co-workers use the soil amoeba Dictyostelium, which digests bacteria for nutrition, to monitor the fate of free zinc during phagocytosis and show that the accumulation of zinc in the phagosome contributes to killing bacteria.
Review - Endocytosis in proliferating, quiescent and terminally differentiated cells
Studies on endocytosis usually use transformed cells, but the majority of cells in an adult organism have exited the cell cycle. Here, Claudia Hinze and Emmanuel Boucrot review endocytosis in dividing, quiescent and terminally differentiated cells.
Afsoon Saadin and Michelle Starz-Gaiano report that the vesicle trafficking regulator α-Snap acts upstream of the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway to induce motile cell fate during egg development in Drosophila.
Have you seen our First Person interviews with the early-career first authors of our papers? The authors talk about their work in and out of the lab, the journeys that led them to where they are now and the scientists who inspired them along the way. Recently, we caught up with first authors Zhe-Long Jin, Cathy Cheng, Yuqing Xia, Ning Huang and Claudio Bussi.
Did you know The Company of Biologists invites applications from the organisers of a range of charitable activities, including meetings, workshops and conferences, in the fields covered by our journals? The next deadline for grant applications is 4 January.
JCS Meeting – Cell dynamics: organelle-cytoskeleton interface
The second in our series of cell dynamics meetings now turns to organelles. This May 2019 meeting in Lisbon, Portugal, aims to bring together scientists studying the interface between organelles and the cytoskeleton at different scales and perspectives using a range of model systems.

Journal news – New fast-track decision process
Do you have a paper with reviews from another journal that you’d like to submit to Journal of Cell Science? We will fast-track your paper and give you an initial decision within a week. Find out more here.
Tessa Sinnige highlights a preprint from Stefan G.D. Rudiger and colleagues, about clever experiments which reveal the importance of Hsp90 in refolding proteins after heat shock in E. coli.
