The breast, despite its importance in sexual and affective touch, exhibits poor tactile localization and demonstrates a relationship between size and innervation density.

An actomyosin network (PANEM) forms around the nucleus in prophase, and its contraction repositions peripheral and polar chromosomes to facilitate their interaction with the mitotic spindle, ensuring their correct segregation.
Sophie Hall, Iara Aime Cardoso ... Christiane Schaffitzel
A generic strategy for producing functional snake venom metalloproteinases opens the field to reproducible mechanistic studies and inhibitor discovery.
Evgeny Zatulovskiy, Magdalena B Murray ... Jan M Skotheim
Cellular sensitivity to cell death stimuli depends on cell-size-dependent proteome changes - specifically, cell size can modulate ferroptosis susceptibility through changes in glutathione biosynthetic enzymes, ferritin, and cathepsin B concentrations.

Altered tactile decision-making in autism reflects context-dependent weighting of sensory inputs and diminished integration of sensory history, enhancing low-salience discrimination while reducing category-based perceptual facilitation.
A comprehensive mutational scan of TYK2 identifies novel allosteric sites, elucidates functional drug-protein interactions, and links autoimmune disease protection to reduced TYK2 protein abundance.
Helge Feddersen, Charlotte Dyckmans, Marc Bramkamp
Dynamic relocalization of MinD in Bacillus subtilis arises from membrane binding of monomers and dimers with membrane-triggered ATP hydrolysis, suggesting MinE-like activators are unnecessary for Min system dynamics.
Integrative structural analysis identifies the structural basis and key residues responsible for IDE conformational dynamics that control the unfolding and selective degradation of amyloid peptides.

Muscarinic cholinergic signaling links neural activity to organism‑wide transcriptional and proteostatic responses that protect against chronic oxidative stress.
