This important work examines how microexons contribute to brain activity, structure, and behavior. The authors find that loss of microexon sequences generally has subtle impacts on these metrics in ...

Breast cancer cells exhibit organotropism during metastasis, showing preferential homing to certain organs such as bone, lung, liver, and brain. One potential explanation for this organotropic ...

Activator of G-protein signaling C-terminus serves as a variable element to induce asymmetric cell division, facilitating developmental diversity among species.

This study provides important insights into the regulation of a retained intron in the mRNA coding for OGT, a process known to be regulated by the O-GlcNAc cycling system, and highlights the ...

When propagated in cell lines, certain viruses acquire positively charged amino acids on their surface proteins, enabling them to utilize negatively charged heparan sulfate (HS) as an attachment ...

RNA-targeting compounds or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) offer a potent means for controlling viral infections. An essential prerequisite to their design depends on identifying conserved and ...

Deep Mutational Scanning (DMS) is an emerging method to systematically test the functional consequences of thousands of sequence changes to a protein target in a single experiment. Because of its ...

This valuable study presents a thorough analysis of protein abundance changes caused by amino acid substitutions, using structural context to improve predictive accuracy. By deriving substitution ...

This paper presents the important discovery that lipid metabolic imbalance caused by Snail, an EMT-related transcription factor, contributes to the acquisition of chemoresistance in cancer cells.

Measuring mitochondrial respiration in frozen tissue samples provides the first comprehensive atlas of how aging affects mitochondrial function in mice.

In this manuscript, Yao et al. present solid evidence to show that MnMYL3 may serve as a receptor for NNV via macropinocytosis. This manuscript is valuable for understanding the molecular mechanisms ...

Titin’s regulated integration and mobility after cell fusion support syncytium formation in culture, while limited diffusion in vivo highlights a key challenge for developing effective cell-based ...
