The heparan sulfate chains of the glypican Dally stabilizes morphogen Dpp on the cell surface by antagonizing receptor-mediated Dpp internalization largely independent of direct interaction with Dpp.

By binding to TRAIL and inducing its oligomerization, heparan sulfate plays a role in regulating the pro-apoptotic activity of TRAIL towards several types of tumor cells.

Numerous pathways/function predictions were identified via gene sets, phosphopeptides, and phosphoproteins, which may point to potential novel therapeutic targets to enhance heart adaptivity, maintaining heart performance while avoiding cardiac dysfunction.

Bacterial outer membrane proteins are recognized by BamD at specific signals located in multiple β-strands at the C-terminus of these proteins, and this recognition is important for efficient outer membrane protein assembly and maintaining the integrity of outer membrane.

Localized temperature gradients used as a novel method of active micro-theology that is non-invasive and probe-free, to investigate material responses of cell departments such as the different compartments of a nucleus displaying distinct material properties.

Activation of Activin A-expressing progenitor cells emerges as a pivotal mechanism in bone fracture healing, shedding light on a potential therapeutic avenue to augment bone repair processes.

This article reviews the latest studies that have used super-resolution microscopy and cluster analysis methodologies to study the mechanism of protein kinase signalling hubs and their organisation at nanoscale.

Comparative biochemical analysis of a nematode-specific kinesin-3 shed light on the mechanism of kinesin-3 dimerization and activation.
