Pathogens, particularly viruses, target the same genes over deep evolutionary time, resulting in shared signatures of positive selection and transcriptional responses at the same genes.
Mitochondrial metabolic fluxes display a subcellular spatial gradient within a single mouse oocyte, and the fluxes are not controlled by nutrient supply or energy demand of the cell, but by the intrinsic rates of mitochondrial respiration.

Impaired lysosomal acidification results in retention of iron inside lysosomes, triggering functional iron deficiency, dysfunctional mitochondria (especially mtDNA loss), and inflammation in vivo in a mouse model of lysosomal disease.
Implementation and characterisation of plasma-focused ion beams for volumetric imaging of cryogenically preserved cells and tissues for ultrastructural examination in their native state.
A human stem cell-derived in vitro model provided novel insights into the mechanisms of retinoid accumulation in, and permeation across, the blood–brain barrier.

Two novel subsets of microglia identified by their unique autofluorescence profiles differ in their subcellular organization, proteomic signatures and in their response to aging and lysosomal dysfunction.

The α1-adrenergic receptor augments the activity of the L-type Ca2+ channel CaV1.2 through PKC and the tyrosine kinases Pyk2 and Src and thereby synaptic plasticity.
