Cover: Human HeLa cells were arrested in mitosis by using the KIF11 inhibitor STLC and, subsequently, forced to exit mitosis following the application of Cdk1 inhibitors. Despite non-segregated chromosomes (blue), microtubules (green) radiate from these cells in a monopolar array (monopolar cytokinesis) to target effectors of cytokinesis, such as Aurora B (red) to the plasma membrane. See article by J. Tegha-Dunghu et al. (pp. 5007–5013).

Interviews with Biologists @ 100 conference speakers
Explore our interviews with keynote speakers from the Biologists @ 100 conference, hosted to celebrate our publisher’s 100th anniversary, where we discuss climate change and biodiversity with Hans-Otto Pörtner and Jane Francis, health and disease with Charles Swanton and emerging technologies with Manu Prakash and Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz.
Introducing our new Associate Editors
In this Editorial, JCS Editor-in-Chief Michael Way welcomes five new Associate Editors to the JCS team. These Associate Editors will expand our support for the wider cell biology community and handle articles in immune cell biology, proteostasis, imaging and image analysis, plant cell biology, and stem cell biology and modelling.
The spatial choreography of mRNA biosynthesis
In their Review, André Ventura-Gomes and Maria Carmo-Fonseca detail the latest research progress and technological advancements that are helping to unlock how nuclear organisation underpins control of gene transcription and pre-mRNA splicing.
