Cdc5-dependent SPB regulation is linked to delayed cytoplasmic microtubule organization in Ogataea polymorpha.

Integrated analysis of IFN-λ and HCV amino acid variation indicates the key role of host innate immunity in viral control.

Two new polymorphic structures of recombinant human alpha-synuclein fibrils show striking differences to previous structures, while familial PD mutation sites remain crucial for protofilament interaction and fibril stability.

A single-nucleotide I232T polymorphic change in FcγRIIB's transmembrane domain bends FcγRIIB's ectodomains toward cell membrane to allosterically hinder FcγRIIB's ligand association, providing novel molecular mechanism for functional loss of FcγRIIB-I232T.

An ancient and conserved genetic mechanism for cell differentiation is under distinct negative regulation in different lineages of land plants.

The evolution columbine genus involved frequent mixing between incipient species, and one chromosome appears to have taken its own path.

A mouse model reveals that a p53 SNP impacts longevity via modulating the balance of cancer risk and the self-renewal function of stem/progenitor cells, which supports a role of p53 in regulation of longevity.

Serial cell-to-cell transfer of lipoprotein toxins by outer membrane exchange provides a potent platform for kin discrimination in Myxococcus xanthus.

A region of the Biomphalaria genome, containing highly divergent haplotypes with different combinations of transmembrane genes, strongly impacts whether these snails can transmit parasitic schistosomes.

Mechanisms that enable wild mice to survive infection with strains of the Toxoplasma gondii parasite virulent enough to kill laboratory mice offer an explanation for how these parasites have been able to persist in the mouse population.
