A set of ER-localized membrane proteins whose loss causes developmental diseases in humans, assemble with Sec61 into a translocon that facilitates the biogenesis of hundreds of different multi-pass membrane proteins.
A novel retinal ganglion cell requires a cell adhesion molecule to grow its dendrites, collect synaptic inputs, and become selective to edges placed in its receptive field.
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.
