  eLife Assessment

  This important study highlights the role of MIRO1 in regulating mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in smooth muscle cells, a process that appears necessary to sustain their proliferation. Overall, the work provides convincing evidence that mitochondrial positioning and function influence vascular disease, although several bioenergetic and mechanistic aspects would benefit from deeper investigation.

Membrane rupture and independent extension of sister membranes drive cytokinesis in C. elegans embryos

• Curated by eLife

  eLife Assessment

  In this manuscript, based on electron microscopy observations of C. elegans embryos, the authors make the bold claim that the plasma membrane ruptures during cell division and that closure of this opening by membrane extension contributes to cytokinesis. Although the findings are potentially valuable, the evidence in support of the authors' claims is inadequate.
