Haploinsufficiency for GATA6 is associated with congenital heart disease (CHD) with variable comorbidity of pancreatic or diaphragm defects, although the etiology of disease is not well understood.

Proteasome activator 28γ (PA28γ) plays a critical role in malignant progression of various tumors, however, its role and regulation are not well understood. Here, using oral squamous cell carcinoma ...

This useful study by Gao et al identifies Hspa2 as a heterogeneous transcript in the early embryo and proposes a plausible mechanism showing interactions with Carm1. The authors propose that ...

Researchers have identified a set of geological reaction conditions that may have catalysed life on Earth. Researchers have discovered a plausible evolutionary setting in which nucleic acids – the ...

Changes in neural activity thought to reflect brain aging may be partly influenced by age-dependent signals ‘leaking’ from the heart.

This important work shows how a simple geophysical setting of gas flow over a narrow channel of water can create a physical environment that leads to the isothermal replication of nucleic acids. The ...

In sum, odors initiate feeding behavior in Drosophila.

A core task in single-cell data analysis is recovering the latent dimensions encoding the genetic and epigenetic landscapes inhabited by cell types and lineages. However, consensus is lacking for ...

A complex extracted from the amniotic membrane in humans reduces post-surgical pain in mice by directly inhibiting pain-sensing neurons.

A critical review of the limitations posed by current preclinical animal models of Alzheimer's disease and of the oversimplistic assumptions proposed by the amyloid cascade hypothesis (ACH).

A primary constraint for mitochondrial repression is access to cytosolic inorganic phosphate, which is determined by the glycolytic flux rate.

Repurposing of a drug designed for pain relief can quickly and reversibly slow biochemical and metabolic activities in cells and organs and could facilitate organ transplantation and prevent tissue ...
