Stable allele-specific epigenetic regulation creates cellular mosaicism of numerous autosomal dosage-sensitive genes involved in human neurological and developmental disorders.
The yeast mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase–citrate synthase metabolon is a dynamic multienzyme complex that continuously assembles and disassembles in response to respiratory activity, mitochondrial matrix pH, and substrate abundances.
Lenacapavir disrupts HIV-1 capsid elasticity, inducing mechanical rupture at the nuclear pore, highlighting that altering viral material properties can be a viable antiviral drug design strategy.

DNA methylation suppresses H2A.Z deposition by inhibiting recruitment of the chaperone SRCAP, while the structural study suggests that methylated DNA can make the H2A.Z nucleosome slightly more accessible.
Although auditory encoding of music is robust early in infancy, the transformation of this input into movement patterns develops substantially over the first postnatal year, without reaching full maturity.
