Tubulin engages unique lateral interactions without longitudinal ones during microtubule polymerization, leaving holes of a few subunits size potentially at the origin of tubulin exchange within their shaft.

A single-cell transcriptome atlas reveals meniscal microenvironment variations during degeneration and cellular heterogeneity foundations of the inner–outer zone differences, suggesting novel cell subtypes as potential therapeutic targets.

For severe COVID-19 patients' red blood cells, healthy donor plasma reduces pathological red blood cell shape alterations and improves microcapillary flow in vitro through an interaction between red blood cells and plasma.

Biochemical and microscopy-based approaches in mouse and human macrophages reveal that glycine cytoprotection acts at the level of the newly identified pan-death protein NINJ1 to inhibit multiple lytic cell death pathways, thereby resolving a long-standing mechanism of glycine cytoprotection.

Caveolae regulate integrin mechanosensing by establishing a force threshold for activation and recycling.

MiR 204/211 antagonize synovial inflammation and hyperproliferation by regulation of its downstream target gene Ssrp1, and decelerated RA progression.

The centrosome decides which branch extending from the body of microglia will successfully engulf and clear away dead neurons.

A critical role of aCT in the distinct activation mechanism of insulin receptor and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor.

Human GDOWN1 is identified as an extremely tightly controlled nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein, and its translocation into the nucleus plays a crucial role in modulating the global transcription and facilitating the cellular adaptation to certain stresses.

ABHD16A is a phospholipid-modifying endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein required for both mitochondrial fission and fusion machinery recruitment to ER-associated mitochondrial constrictions.
