Downregulation of the electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase drives pro-tumorigenic metabolic programs via stimulating the mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 signaling across a broad spectrum of cancers.
Theoretical and computational analyses demonstrate that cell intercalation within epithelial cell layers is analogous to the unbinding of topological defects in hexatic liquid crystals, offering a framework for calculating cellular forces and velocities during collective migration.
Residual plasma from rapid routine clinical chemistry tubes enables cell-free DNA NGS-based analysis, providing an untapped, scalable, and accessible resource without specialized collection workflows.
RadD recognition by NKp46 converts Fusobacterium nucleatum from an immune-evasive pathogen into a trigger of natural killer cell-mediated tumor control in a context-dependent manner.
An on-demand seizure model in chronically epileptic mice integrates reliability and etiological relevance, providing a mechanistically grounded, efficient platform for evaluating pharmacological interventions.
During convergent extension morphogenesis, non-canonical Wnt induces the signal transducer Dishevelled to transition from Vangl to Frizzled, a process that is inhibited by Prickle but facilitated by the co-receptor Ror.

Bivalent EABR mRNA boosters broaden neutralizing responses to Omicron subvariants by promoting diverse receptor-binding domain epitope targeting, although antibody responses remain partially shaped by immune imprinting from prior vaccination.
