In the June 22nd edition of biobytes, Tyler Moyer and Andrew Holland

(Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD) describe how cells

activate Plk4 and initiate centriole assembly (Moyer et

al.), and Stella Aronov (Ariel University, Ariel, Israel) and Mordechai

Choder (Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel) explain how P bodies

promote budding yeast mating (Aronov et

al.). Plus a round-up of other highlights from The Journal of

Cell Biology. The show was written and produced by Caitlin Sedwick and

Ben Short. Presented by Ben Short. See the associated papers in

JCB for details on the funding provided to support these

original research studies.
