| April 2016 Volume 18, Issue 4 |  |  |  |  | Perspective Review News and Views Articles Letters | |  | |  |  | | Advertisement |  | | |  | | | Perspective | Top |  |  |  | Tissue-specific designs of stem cell hierarchies pp349 - 355 Jane E. Visvader and Hans Clevers doi:10.1038/ncb3332 Visvader and Clevers discuss how stem cells from different tissues, such as the intestine, mammary gland and skeletal muscle, follow different strategies and hierarchies to maintain their complex, tissue-specific balance. |  | Review | Top |  |  |  | The ever-expanding role of HIF in tumour and stromal biology pp356 - 365 Edward L. LaGory and Amato J. Giaccia doi:10.1038/ncb3330 LaGory and Giaccia discuss the effects of hypoxia and its downstream responses in cancer and stromal cells. |  | News and Views | Top |  |  |  |  Blood, blebs and lumen expansion pp366 - 367 Michal Reichman-Fried and Erez Raz doi:10.1038/ncb3334 A powerful combination of cell labelling, genetic tools and rapid imaging techniques in vivo has now led to a high-resolution description of lumen formation during angiogenesis in zebrafish. The study reveals a haemodynamic-force-driven and myosin-II-dependent cellular mechanism (termed inverse membrane blebbing) as the basis for lumen expansion in unicellular and multicellular angiogenic sprouts.

The suppression of multiciliate differentiation of choroid plexus precursors, and maintenance of a single primary cilium by Notch1, is now shown to be involved in choroid plexus tumour formation.

Sponsored by: 10x Genomics | | |  | | | How the kinetochore couples microtubule force and centromere stretch to move chromosomes pp382 - 392 Aussie Suzuki, Benjamin L. Badger, Julian Haase, Tomoo Ohashi, Harold P. Erickson et al. doi:10.1038/ncb3323 Using mathematical simulations and a FRET tension sensor inserted into the microtubule-binding complex Ndc80, Suzuki and colleagues obtain insights into how force is generated at the budding yeast kinetochore. |  |  |  | SAS-6 engineering reveals interdependence between cartwheel and microtubules in determining centriole architecture pp393 - 403 Manuel Hilbert, Akira Noga, Daniel Frey, Virginie Hamel, Paul Guichard et al. doi:10.1038/ncb3329 Centrioles are formed from a nine-fold symmetric cartwheel structure. Using mutants of the cartwheel protein SAS-6, which alters cartwheel symmetry, Hirono, Gonczy, Steinmetz and colleagues show that the microtubule wall also determines centriole shape. |  |  |  | A molecular mechanism to regulate lysosome motility for lysosome positioning and tubulation pp404 - 417 Xinran Li, Nicholas Rydzewski, Ahmad Hider, Xiaoli Zhang, Junsheng Yang et al. doi:10.1038/ncb3324 Following autophagy induction, lysosomes move to the perinuclear region. Xu and colleagues delineate a pathway involving PtdIns(3,5)P2-mediated activation of the TRPML1 channel and the Ca2+ sensor ALG-2 in this process. |  |  |  | Sonic Hedgehog promotes proliferation of Notch-dependent monociliated choroid plexus tumour cells pp418 - 430 Li Li, Katie B. Grausam, Jun Wang, Melody P. Lun, Jasmin Ohli et al. doi:10.1038/ncb3327 Zhao and colleagues model choroid plexus tumorigenesis in mice, and report that Notch-mediated suppression of multiciliate differentiation promotes tumour initiation from roof plate progenitor cells in response to epithelium-derived Shh signalling.
See also: News and Views by Eberhart |  |  |  | LncRNA NBR2 engages a metabolic checkpoint by regulating AMPK under energy stress pp431 - 442 Xiaowen Liu, Zhen-Dong Xiao, Leng Han, Jiexin Zhang, Szu-Wei Lee et al. doi:10.1038/ncb3328 Liu et al. show that, in response to energy stress, the NBR2 long non-coding RNA binds AMPK and promotes its activity to reduce cancer cell proliferation. Conversely, loss of NBR2 inhibits AMPK, leading to mTOR activation and tumour growth. |  | Letters | Top |  |  |  | Blood flow drives lumen formation by inverse membrane blebbing during angiogenesis in vivo pp443 - 450 Veronique Gebala, Russell Collins, Ilse Geudens, Li-Kun Phng and Holger Gerhardt doi:10.1038/ncb3320 Using live imaging of zebrafish angiogenesis, Gerhardt and colleagues observe blood-flow-regulated inverse membrane blebbing during lumen expansion, and show that actomyosin contractility is needed for both bleb retraction and lumen formation.
