RNA differentially regulates the assembly pathways of bacterial and host α-helical peptides, revealing supramolecular architecture as a tunable determinant of cytotoxic and antimicrobial function.
Reducing vertical forces reveals kinesin-1 as a robust motor capable of sustaining high loads and efficiently generating large collective forces with multiple motors.

All three kinesin transport families exhibit unexpectedly slow dissociation under load, explaining robust competition with dynein during bidirectional cargo transport.
The loss of FMRP does not affect how neuronal ribosomes are stalled or where they are stalled, but reduces the number of neuronal RNA granules that contain stalled ribosomes.

DuoHexaBody‑CD37 triggers complement‑independent cytotoxic signaling in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), revealing therapeutic pathways that can be exploited to enhance tumor cell killing through targeted combination strategies.

In a polymer model of chromatin that explicitly incorporates different types of transcription factors, both specialised and mixed factories emerge naturally, with their composition governed by their size.
Although physical exercise could be a beneficial protective factor for brain health in later life, older adults tend to overestimate their actual levels of activity.
Tetrahymena germline chromosome ends contain germline-limited sequences that are removed by chromosome breakage, a critical step for programmed DNA elimination of other germline-limited sequences and successful sexual reproduction.
