  This study by Li et al. presents important findings on the metabolism-independent role of nuclear IDH1 in chromatin regulation during erythropoiesis. The authors provide convincing evidence that IDH1 deficiency disrupts H3K79 methylation and nuclear architecture, contributing to dyserythropoiesis. Their findings offer invaluable mechanistic insights with potential therapeutic implications for erythroid disorders and hematologic malignancies.

  eLife Assessment

  The authors propose that the kinase MARK2 regulates the Golgi's reorientation towards the cell's leading edge through the regulation of microtubule binding protein CAMSAP2 and its binding to USO1. While the model is interesting and the study is useful, the quantification of an insufficient number of cells and insufficient description of the methods and biological replicates mean the results are inadequate to support the model.

  The authors have generated important resources such as a reference dataset of early primate development by utilizing single-cell transcriptomic technology together with induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from four primate species: humans, orangutans, cynomolgus macaques, and rhesus macaques. By analyzing marker gene expression and cell types across species during undirected differentiation of iPSCs, the authors provide solid evidence that the transferability of marker genes decreases as the evolutionary distance between species increases. This work demonstrates the extended usage of iPSCs for broader fields, which will benefit several scientific communities including anthropology, comparative biology, and evolutionary biology.

Rudhira-mediated microtubule stability controls TGFβ signaling during mouse vascular development

• Curated by eLife

  eLife Assessment

  This important work provides another layer of regulatory mechanism for TGF-beta signaling activity. The evidence convincingly supports the involvement of microtubules as a reservoir of Smad2/3, and association of Rudhira with microtubules is critical for this process. The work will be of board interest to developmental biologists in general and molecular biologists in the field of growth factor signaling.
