    A dedicated diribonuclease resolves a key bottleneck for the terminal step of RNA degradation

    Soo-Kyoung Kim, Justin D Lormand ... Vincent T Lee
    RNA degradation is completed through specific intermediates, such as diribonucleotides, which must be removed from the cells by a specific enzyme.

    Resveratrol modulates the inflammatory response via an estrogen receptor-signal integration network

    Jerome C Nwachukwu, Sathish Srinivasan ... Kendall W Nettles
    Anti-inflammatory effects of resveratrol are mediated by the estrogen receptor to coordinate a complex array of transcriptional coregulators, suggesting that estrogenic effects must be considered in the complex polypharmacology of resveratrol.

    Re-examining how complexin inhibits neurotransmitter release

    Thorsten Trimbuch, Junjie Xu ... Christian Rosenmund
    Challenging a widespread model, biophysical and electrophysiological experiments suggest a new mechanism whereby complexins inhibit neurotransmitter release through electrostatic repulsion between their accessory helix and the membranes.
