B cell activation and antibody class switching requires coordinated metabolic rewiring, with essential roles for amino acid transport, cholesterol metabolism, and prenylation in driving proliferation across multiple activating stimuli.
EXOC6A cooperates with myosin-Va to regulate vesicle trafficking and membrane remodeling during ciliogenesis, enabling ciliary vesicle maturation, transition zone assembly, and proper delivery of ciliary membrane proteins.

Phosphomimetic mutations allow the assembly of full-length recombinant tau into Alzheimer's paired helical filaments by disrupting intramolecular contacts between its ordered core and fuzzy coat.
The dynamic internal fluidity of nuclear MORC2 condensates, rather than their mere assembly, is strictly required for transcriptional regulation and is selectively disrupted by neuropathy-linked mutations.
Multimodal stacking of MRI‑based markers of cognition reveals a shared brain architecture that links cognitive performance with mental health, explaining nearly half of their observed association.

The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored receptors in Trypanosoma brucei are not confined to the flagellar pocket but instead localise across the whole cell surface, reshaping our understanding of host immune evasion and nutrient uptake.

Experiments and mathematical modelling show cell fate in Dictyostelium discoideum partly depends on cell-cycle phase, but also on stochastic gene-expression variability which enhances robustness of developmental responses to cell-cycle perturbation.

A screen using in vitro-selected synthetic nanobodies identified inhibitors of SMC protein function in bacterial cells, revealing a coiled coil region as a vital component of the chromosome-folding machinery.
