Synergistic Effects of Deterrence by Denial and Safeguards in the Biological Weapons Convention: Building on the History of International Nuclear Safeguards

Journal for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament
The notion of deterrence by denial has been introduced in relation to biosecurity. The goal of deterrence by denial in biosecurity extends beyond dissuading attacks. It also encompasses the protection of citizens in the event of an attack.

Abolition, abolitions

Revue Possibles
Bien que l'été 2020 ait fait sortir le champ lexical de l’abolition et de l’abolitionnisme des petits milieux militants pour arriver dans l’espace public au Québec, l'histoire de la lutte abolitionniste ne date pas d'hier. Cet éditorial montre comment le système policier et carcéral s'est développé parallèlement au colonialisme, à l'esclavage, à l'anti-

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...
