    Maintenance of neuronal TDP-43 expression requires axonal lysosome transport

    Veronica H Ryan, Sydney Lawton ... Michael Emmerson Ward
    Protein, but not mRNA, levels of neurodegenerative disease-associated protein TDP-43 are decreased upon knockdown of BORC, a complex that is required for the anterograde transport of lysosomes.

    Human single-neuron activity is modulated by intracranial theta burst stimulation of the basolateral amygdala

    Justin M Campbell, Rhiannon L Cowan ... Jon Timothy Willie
    Firing rate analyses revealed neurons throughout the hippocampus, amygdala, orbitofrontal cortex, and anterior cingulate cortex in humans that exhibited heterogeneous responses to intracranial theta burst stimulation of the human brain.

    Membrane binding properties of the cytoskeletal protein bactofilin

    Ying Liu, Rajani Karmakar ... Martin Thanbichler
    A combination of cell biological, biochemical, and computational approaches characterizes the conserved membrane-targeting sequence of bactofilins and reveals a mutual influence of membrane binding and bactofilin polymerization.

    Impact of maximal overexpression of a non-toxic protein on yeast cell physiology

    Yuri Fujita, Shotaro Namba ... Hisao Moriya
    A neutrality index identifies mox-YG as a minimally cytotoxic protein, enabling ultra-high expression and uncovering key physiological consequences of protein burden.

    Fast evolutionary turnover and overlapping variances of sex-biased gene expression patterns defy a simple binary sex classification of somatic tissues

    Chen Xie, Sven Künzel, Diethard Tautz
    Sex-biased gene expression in the body organs evolves rapidly, supporting a mosaic model of maleness and femaleness across tissues and thus challenging binary views of sex characteristics in mammals.

    Coupled equilibria of dimerization and lipid binding modulate SARS Cov 2 Orf9b interactions and interferon response

    CJ San Felipe, Jyoti Batra ... James S Fraser
    Lipid binding stabilizes the SARS-CoV-2 Orf9b homodimer, slowing its conversion to the Tom70-binding monomeric form and modulating interferon suppression.

    Monitoring circulating cell-free HPV DNA in metastatic or recurrent cervical cancer: clinical significance and treatment implications

    Zhuomin Yin, Tao Feng ... Hanmei Lou
    HPV cfDNA is a highly effective tumor marker for monitoring disease progression and treatment response in HPV-positive cervical cancer, offering valuable insights for guiding clinical decisions in precision medicine.

    The ciliary kinesin KIF7 controls the development of the cerebral cortex by acting differentially on SHH signaling in dorsal and ventral forebrain

    María Pedraza, Valentina Grampa ... Justine Masson
    KIF7 loss of function affects several developmental stages of the cerebral cortex and likely causes neurodevelopmental delay, intellectual disability, and epilepsia observed in ciliopathic patients with KIF7 mutations.
