    Neuroprotective role of Hippo signaling by microtubule stability control in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Hanee Lee, Junsu Kang ... Junho Lee
    The Hippo pathway maintains the integrity of differentiated neurons by modulating microtubule stability, and reducing microtubule stability of fully developed neurons offers a potential strategy to delay neuronal aging.

    Pyrotinib after trastuzumab-based adjuvant therapy in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer (PERSIST): A multicenter phase II trial

    Feilin Cao, Zhaosheng Ma ... Shifen Huang
    Kaplan–Meier curves showed that extended adjuvant pyrotinib administered after trastuzumab-based adjuvant therapy provides a promising survival benefit in patients with high-risk HER2-positive breast cancer.

    Control of pili synthesis and putrescine homeostasis in Escherichia coli

    Iti Mehta, Jacob B Hogins ... Larry Reitzer
    Putrescine has a homeostatic network that controls pili synthesis and energy metabolism.

    A direct experimental test of Ohno’s hypothesis

    Ljiljana Mihajlovic, Bharat Ravi Iyengar ... Yolanda Schaerli
    Experimental evolution of a duplicated gene increases mutational robustness relative to a single-copy gene but does not accelerate phenotypic evolution.

    Redox regulation and dynamic control of brain-selective kinases BRSK1/2 in the AMPK family through cysteine-based mechanisms

    George N Bendzunas, Dominic P Byrne ... Natarajan Kannan
    Characterization of redox-active cysteines illuminates the understudied regulatory mechanisms of brain-selective kinases.

    Rab10 regulates neuropeptide release by maintaining Ca2+ homeostasis and protein synthesis

    Jian Dong, Mian Chen ... Matthijs Verhage
    Rab10 deficiency unexpectedly inhibits neuropeptide secretion through two distinct effects on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), disrupting ER-regulated intracellular Ca²⁺ dynamics and impairing protein synthesis.

    Knockout of cyclin-dependent kinases 8 and 19 leads to depletion of cyclin C and suppresses spermatogenesis and male fertility in mice

    Alexandra V Bruter, Ekaterina A Varlamova ... Victor V Tatarskiy
    Knockout of CDK8/19, but not its inhibition, impairs spermatogenesis by reducing steroid production in Leydig cells.

    A systematic review and embryological perspective of pluripotent stem cell-derived autonomic postganglionic neuron differentiation for human disease modeling

    Thomas A Bos, Elizaveta Polyakova ... Monique RM Jongbloed
    Although methods to efficiently generate functional autonomic postganglionic neurons from human pluripotent stem cells largely mirror signaling cues during embryonic development, several in vivo signaling cues remain to be explored in vitro.

    Enzymatic protein fusions with 100% product yield

    Adrian CD Fuchs
    This enzymatic method enables highly specific and complete 1:1 protein conjugations with small molecules, solid supports, and other proteins, offering broad applicability across diverse biochemical and biotechnological applications.

    Modularity of the segmentation clock and morphogenesis

    James E Hammond, Ruth E Baker, Berta Verd
    Computational modelling suggests that the segmentation clock and the morphogenesis of the pre-somitic mesoderm exhibit developmental modularity, enabling the independent evolution of these processes and possibly contributing to the high evolvability of vertebrate segment number.
