Uso1 critically regulating traffic in the ER/Golgi interface is a coiled-coil protein traditionally regarded as a tether, but a forward genetic screen revealed that its essential role appears to involve its ability to interact with SNAREs.

Inhibition of a single fibroblast-associated transcription factor, namely Paired-related Homeobox Protein 1 (PRRX1), is sufficient to dampen lung fibrogenesis.

The physical properties of model coacervate protocells are modulated by the activity of an RNA ligase ribozyme, which confers resistance to growth, surface wetting, and material exchange, establishing a link between RNA sequence and protocell phenotype.

Drosophila experience two hunger states, one driven by need and the other by pleasure, which arise from unique neural substrates.

Predicted effector genes at loci associated with abdominal obesity but protection from type 2 diabetes likely effect intermediate anthropometric and diabetic phenotypes.

Understanding communication mechanisms between unicellular parasites is crucial in the development of novel therapies, as they rely on diverse modes of communication (like extracellular vesicle release, cytoneme, and filopodia formation) to regulate their behavior and survival.

HepG2 transmitochondrial cybrids of haplogroup J genome had increased sensitivity to aspects of mitochondrial dysfunction induced by tolcapone and 2-hydroxyflutamide, compared to haplogroup H, thus cybrids provide a practical system to investigate the consequences of mitochondrial genome on drug-induced hepatotoxicity.

Gene-editing to repair non-functional transcriptional elements in the endogenous promoter of δ-globin increases overall expression of adult hemoglobin 2 (HbA2), providing proof-of-concept for a therapeutic avenue to treat β-hemoglobinopathies.

A coarse-grained model of microbial growth coupling fluxes of carbon and energy shows that resource allocation is a major explanatory factor of the observed variability of growth rates and growth yields across different bacterial strains.

Long Pentaxin 3 is highly expressed by non-hematopoietic cells during Streptococcus pneumoniae invasive infections and regulates polymorphonuclear neutrophils' recruitment through interaction with P-selectin which damps inflammation-associated tissue damage and pneumococcal systemic dissemination.
