This useful study explores the role of RAP2A in asymmetric cell division (ACD) regulation in glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), drawing parallels to Drosophila ACD mechanisms and proposing that an ...
Microfluidics experiments and simulations show that magnetotactic bacteria are adapted to the geomagnetic field strength for optimal navigation in sediment environments.
The study by Li et al. provides fundamental findings supported by convincing evidence that they defined cellular reprogramming of androgen receptor in neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). The ...
This valuable study provides insights into a key question in comparative neuroanatomy and development. The authors provide evidence of the role for a particular micro-RNA in regulating the development ...
Disease-causing mutations in the signaling protein BMP4 impair its secretion, but only when it is made as a homodimer.
Among the major classes of RNAs in the cell, tRNAs remain the most difficult to characterize via deep sequencing approaches, as tRNA structure and nucleotide modifications can each interfere with cDNA ...
Cyclin D1–CDK4/6 phosphorylates GTSE1 in cancer cells, preventing its degradation and sustaining high levels across the cell cycle, which enhances proliferation and correlates with poor prognosis.
Our data confirm that, although significant placebo and nocebo effects were found on days 1 and 8, the nocebo effect was consistently stronger. Both effects were primarily influenced by the most ...
BP1 is a key player in DNA repair and together with BRCA1 regulate selection of DNA double strand break repair mechanisms. Localization of DNA repair factors to sites of DNA damage by 53BP1 is ...
This valuable study introduces a self-supervised machine learning method to classify C. elegans postures and behaviors directly from video data, offering an alternative to the skeleton-based ...
A new study finds that nocebo effects, where people expect a negative outcome from treatment, are more powerful and persistent than placebo effects, with implications for patient-practitioner ...
Specific host factors, such as immune cell activity, sex hormones and microbiota composition, influence the ability of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria to colonize the gut of mice.
