DNA sequencing of the yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) genome reveals convergent genomic changes, biochemical pathways, mutations, and substrate-binding orientations responsible for caffeine biosynthesis when compared to coffee and tea plants.

Titin’s regulated integration and mobility after cell fusion support syncytium formation in culture, while limited diffusion in vivo highlights a key challenge for developing effective cell-based therapies for skeletal muscle diseases.

TIM23 core deficiency specifically impacts the oxidative phosphorylation and the mitochondrial ribosome complexes and, unexpectedly, leads to reduction of plasma membrane voltage-dependent potassium channels in neurons.

The viscous hydraulics of contracting endoplasmic reticulum networks challenge common solute transport theories, suggesting the contraction of peripheral sheets as a plausible driving mechanism.
