Steiner et al. propose that keratin 9 (K9) interacts with 14-3-3, sequestering YAP1 in the cytoplasm and inhibiting YAP1 activity. They identify dysregulated YAP in palmoplantar keratinization diseases, with K9 as a downstream regulator of YAP.

Nature Cell Biology, Published online: 30 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41556-026-01932-w Paraspeckle condensates are membraneless nuclear organelles linked to stress responses and disease states. We demonstrate that paraspeckle assembly is tightly controlled by antagonism between TDP-43 and other paraspeckle proteins, through non-random distribution of TDP-43 binding sites on the scaffolding RNA NEAT1. Structural changes in NEAT1 or altered protein stoichiometry affect condensate formation, with implications for neurodegeneration.
