The proteins Bax and Bak, which increase the permeability of the mitochondrial membrane during apoptosis, are also crucial for generating a mitochondrial membrane pore that is specifically involved in necrosis.

Skeletal muscle cells constantly monitor their own activity and that of their partner neuron at synapses, enabling them to provide the neuron with feedback regarding neurotransmitter release.

Specific glutamylation of some α-tubulin isotypes affects kinesin-1 localization and transport processes that depend on it, but their absence can speed up transport, possibly explaining why some large cells express α-tubulin isotypes that are not glutamylated.

The CRISPR/Cas9 system can be used with recombinant AAV6 donor delivery to facilitate simultaneous, targeted integration into multiple genetic loci in hematopoietic stem and progrenitor cells.

Dimers of Bak assemble into clusters without using a distinct protein-protein interface, which may explain the apparent difficulties in obtaining high resolution structures of the pore complex and in targeting dimer-dimer interactions to regulate apoptosis.

Bacterial population can coordinate individuals of different phenotypes by spatial modulation of their run-and-tumble behaviors, resulting in collective group migration with an ordered structure of phenotypes.

A detailed molecular mechanism on lipid flipping from outside leaflet to the inside leaflet of the eukaryotic plasma membrane bilayer.

To investigate why bats are long-lived and cancer-resistant, multi-omic data from bat and human cells was analyzed using computational flux modeling, suggesting dysregulation of succinate-fumarate dynamics and an ischemic-like basal metabolism in bat cells.

In a chemical genetics study, JM03 derived from crotamiton, an inhibitor of trainsient receptor potential vanilloid-4 channels, was identified to extend lifespan and improve oxidative and hypertonic stress resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans via inhibiting OSM-9.

Visual crowding from clutter outside the limits of binocular fusion can still have a significant impact on object recognition and visual perception in the peripheral field.
