Connexin43 is the most ubiquitously expressed connexin in the human body, and the CO2-dependent opening of Connexin43 hemichannels implies that CO2 may influence many physiological processes.
A range of biophysical techniques is used in combination with computational analysis to understand whether glutamine-binding protein binds its ligand via the induced-fit or conformational selection mechanism.

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.
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.
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.
