Enterovirus D68, a cause of acute flaccid myelitis, disrupts the composition and function of the nuclear pore complex primarily through its 2A protease, which is also toxic to motor neurons.
Disrupting oligodendrocytes during a narrow early-life window leaves cerebellar circuits permanently mistimed, but adult re-synchronization restores social and motor behavior.
A multi-step ribosome assembly method involving changes in ion concentration and temperature can now be carried out in a single step using the two GTPase factors, EngA and ObgE.
