The RNA-binding protein BICC1 can act as a genetic disease modifier for kidney cyst formation, potentially explaining the high variability of disease onset and severity in autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease patients.
A comprehensive single-cell atlas of AML uncovers regulatory networks and age-dependent molecular differences to advance the understanding of disease mechanisms and enable subtype-specific therapeutic strategies.

A novel behavioural task that measures and manipulates subjective control in humans reveals that experimentally heightened feelings of control buffer against the negative impact of subsequent stress.
Excitatory recurrent synapses in the upper pyramidal layer of the prefrontal cortex exhibit delayed short-term facilitation, despite very high vesicular fusion probability, through synaptotagmin 7-dependent overfilling of release sites.
Three newly developed biosensors demonstrate that the C-terminal tail of α-tubulin does not freely extend from the microtubule surface as widely thought, but rather is inaccessible along most microtubules in cells.
