A few SNARE complexes suffice to fuse membranes, but many more are needed to dilate the nascent fusion pore by molecular crowding for efficient neurotransmitter or hormone release during exocytosis.
The phenotype of mutant potassium channels described here allows the mechanistic dissection of the complex process of potassium channel gating in the pathology-relevant KCNH family.
Linker histone H1.8 shapes mitotic chromosomes by tuning the number and size of condensin-dependent DNA loops and suppressing condensin and DNA topoisomerase II-dependent individualization.

A dysregulated circular RNA in bladder cancer controls oncogenic pathways by tethering specific RNA-binding proteins, which in turn inhibits their normal functions.
