Triacylglycerides found in the males of 11 species of Drosophila form a largely overlooked, novel, sex-specific class of pheromones that act to suppress courtship behaviour.

As the function of membrane proteins is often influenced by its membrane environment the presented combinatorial approach is of great value for the investigation of membrane protein complexes in natural or even manipulated lipid bilayers.

Assays using recombinant HIF prolyl hydroxylases did not support hydroxylation of more than 20 reported non-HIF substrates under conditions where robust HIF hydroxylation was observed.

The dimer destabilizers cause a dimer-to-monomer equilibrium shift favoring the human thymidylate synthase monomer more degradable by the proteasome, thus breaking the long-standing link between inhibition and enhanced expression of the protein to fight cancer drug resistance.

A novel Caenorhabditis elegans model that secretes human amyloid beta forms aggregates in the extracellular matrix, which are removed by activation of extracellular matrix dynamics.

Monitoring the formation of two distinct arrangements in early amyloid-ß aggregation by mass spectrometry and ion mobility allows determination of the effect of potential drug candidates.

Outer membrane vesicles serve as decoys to reduce the chance of direct polymyxin B (PMB) binding to cells, which partly explains why many clinical isolates and microbial communities can be protected against PMB treatment.

RecA is inactivated by oxidative stress and repaired by the MsrA/B anti-ROS defense system.

The discovery and development of a feline skin commensal bacterium for bacteriotherapy against skin disease, that could benefit patients due to established low cytotoxicity, broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and anti-inflammatory activity.

A new class of fungal hemoproteins is described that emphasizes the versatility of the Sec14-fold for translating binding of chemically distinct ligands to control of diverse sets of cellular activities.
