    β-1,6-Glucan plays a central role in the structure and remodeling of the bilaminate fungal cell wall

    Clara Bekirian, Isabel Valsecchi ... Thierry Fontaine
    β-1,6-Glucan is crucial for Candida albicans cell wall structure and integrity, adapting dynamically to environmental stresses and compensating for mannan deficiencies in cell wall organization.

    The membrane domains of mammalian adenylyl cyclases are lipid receptors

    Marius Landau, Sherif Elsabbagh ... Joachim E Schultz
    The dodecahelical membrane anchors of mammalian adenylyl cyclase isoforms are receptors for unsaturated free fatty acids and, as a tonic signal, enhance or attenuate GPCR/Gsα-stimulated cyclic AMP formation.
