A cognitive adaptation in Heliconius butterflies, accompanied by strikingly divergent changes in two principal insect integration centres, reveals that neural circuits can differ strongly in their propensity for evolutionary change.
TrASPr+BOS enables accurate prediction and design of tissue-specific RNA splicing, even for tissues not trained on, uncovering unseen regulatory elements and guiding sequence edits that reshape splicing outcomes.
ITCH is an important regulator of SARS-CoV-2 life cycle, coordinating ubiquitination, assembly, autophagosome-mediated secretion, and spike stability, highlighting ITCH as a promising therapeutic target for antiviral intervention.
Interaction between LFA-1 on natural killer cells and GBP-130 on infected erythrocytes enables immune recognition and killing of Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells.
