A non-monotonic force–velocity relationship in cardiac sarcomeres causes dynamic instability, leading to stochastic heterogeneity in contracting cardiomyocytes, which can have a protective function.
Malaria parasites have evolved a noncanonical function for the apicoplast acyl carrier protein in stabilizing pyruvate kinase II, a metabolic hub essential for isoprenoid synthesis and parasite survival.
Michele Marconcini, Steeve Cruchet ... Richard Benton
Selection of animal populations and of cultured cells provides complementary datasets to identify candidate genes involved in conferring resistance to a natural insecticide.
Revealing a role for NINJ2 in maintaining lysosomal homeostasis and preventing ferroptosis, laying the foundation for the development of cancer therapeutics targeting NINJ2.
Rémi Pichon, Magda E Lotkowska ... Gabriel Rinaldi
Establishment of sexually dimorphic schistosomes entirely in vitro from mechanically transformed cercariae paves the way for uncovering the cellular and molecular cues underlying development, providing potential targets for novel control strategies.
Repeat variation in wild Arabidopsis thaliana arises from centromere-proximal sequence changes and rare variants in DNA replication, repair, and methylation genes, consistent with purifying selection constraining genome expansion.
Septin-associated kinases functions in an adaptable regulatory network with overlapping functions to coordinate septin organization with actomyosin ring machinery to ensure robust cytokinesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
