When challenged by energetic stresses triggered by hypoxia and ATP inhibition, plasma membrane PI4P and PIP2 in cells undergo dramatic turnovers that have profound impact on many cellular processes including electrostatic PM targeting of numerous polybasic proteins.

Joint sequence, structure, and phylogenetic analyses identify highly conserved features in transmembrane domains of transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel proteins that offer a novel explanation for how TRPs could integrate stimuli into cellular signals.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy-causing mutations in the light chain-binding region of β-cardiac myosin's lever arm appear to disrupt myosin tail-based autoinhibition, while mutations in the pliant region of the lever arm reduce autoinhibition in the presence of actin and impact myosin’s powerstroke.

Novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying neurotransmitter release are provided by all-atom molecular dynamics simulations including SNARE proteins, synaptotagmin-1, complexin-1, a vesicle and a flat bilayer.

SARS-CoV-2 host-shutoff inhibits innate NK surveillance by suppressing activating ligands, however ADCC provides a potent NK stimulus that is mediated by antibodies targeting Nucleocapsid, ORF3a, and Membrane, with those targeting Spike being significantly weaker.

Important mechanistic details on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy arrhythmogenesis are revealed, providing a crucial lead for investigators interested in developing therapeutic solutions for this deadly disease.

CAMSAP2 co-condensates with αβ-tubulin to induce microtubule nucleation and growth, serving as a microtubule-organizing centre for non-centrosomal microtubules.

The Toll-like receptor 2-4 genetic modification goat improves effectively resistance against Staphylococcus aureus infection by enhancing autophagy level, and it provides a novel strategy for challenge of S. aureus-caused infections.

Populations of Mycobacterium tuberculosis associated with clustering and shorter terminal branches are not necessarily transmitting more.

Only about half of women 50–64 years old are up-to-date for both cervical and colorectal cancer screening.
