Direct measurements of trafficking kinetics between organelles of the secretory pathway suggest that lipid-driven membrane domains laterally sort proteins during membrane traffic.
The autophagosomal membrane becomes negatively charged during maturation due to the accumulation of PI4P, leading to the recruitment of syntaxin 17, which is required for autophagosome-lysosome fusion.
A change in the electric charge of autophagosome membranes controls the recruitment of SNARE proteins to ensure that membrane fusion occurs at the right time during autophagy.
A computational model of skeletal muscle regeneration reveals complex interplay of cytokines, angiogenesis, and cell behaviors, predicting that synergistic cytokine perturbations enhance skeletal muscle regeneration beyond individual cytokine interventions.
Alterations of DNA methylation were associated with articular cartilage degeneration in hemophilic arthropathy, and aberrant methylation and expression of TNXB promote blood-induced chondrocyte apoptosis by regulating AKT activation.
A novel role of the mitochondrial BKCa channel involves the metabolic reprogramming of breast cancer cells, facilitating their unrestricted proliferation and O2-independence, which is also of potential clinical relevance.
