By harnessing antibody fragments conjugated to small gold nanoparticles together with high pressure freezing, FIB/SEM milling and cryo-electron tomography, AMPA receptors were identified from mouse brain tissue.
LncRNA-Snhg3 regulates lipid metabolism by affecting chromatin accessibility which indicates that lncRNA-mediated epigenetic modification has a crucial role in the pathology of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease.
A combination of cryo-electron microscopy, structure prediction, and evolutionary analyses reveal several functional states of the dynamic protein translocation machinery at the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum.

Deletion of optic atrophy 1 in brown adipose tissue induces secretion of growth differentiation factor 15 as a batokine to attenuate diet-induced obesity and improve glucose clearance, hepatic steatosis, and thermoregulation in mice by increasing energy expenditure.
Type IV collagen plays a dual role in both structurally fastening tissues and signaling through the discoidin domain receptor 2 to synchronize an integrin adhesion that stabilizes tissue linkage.
