AlphaFold-guided in vitro and in vivo analyses establish the mechanism of ULK complex formation and provide a structural basis for understanding its role in mammalian autophagy initiation.
Self-supervised deep learning models can accurately perform 3D segmentation of cell nuclei in complex biological tissues, enabling scalable analysis in settings with limited or no ground truth annotations.
Subcellular sequestration of caspase near membrane-associated proteins enables its non-lethal activation, which modulates neuronal function and innate olfactory behavior in the adult Drosophila olfactory receptor neurons.
Phosphorylation of the kinesin-2 motor protein’s elbow region by NEKL-3 kinase maintains autoinhibition, enabling its transport to cilia for sensory function.

Genome-wide epigenetic profiling reveals chromatin regions in the human myometrium involved in functional regulation and hormonal control during pregnancy.
Functional analyses reveal the HNF4α-TET2-FBP1 axis as a critical regulator of gluconeogenesis, type 2 diabetes (T2D) progression, and metformin’s therapeutic effects, which proposes TET2 as a promising therapeutic target for T2D.
The development of an automated micronucleus segmentation program enables population-level comparisons between cells with and without micronuclei and defines a highly limited response to micronucleus formation or rupture.
