A new platform that can follow the movement of individual proteins inside millions of cells in a single day will help contribute to existing knowledge of cell biology and identify new therapeutics.

The Wnt antagonist DKK3 is a key regulator of excitatory and inhibitory synapses, and its downregulation in the hippocampus restores synaptic connectivity and memory in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model.
Prostaglandin E2-mediated radial spread of PKA activation, caused by calcium transients, is a novel mode of intercellular communication in living mice.
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.
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.
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.
