Integration of navigation and action selection functionalities in a computational model of cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical loops [PDF]
This article describes a biomimetic control architecture affording an animat both action selection and navigation functionalities. It satisfies the survival constraint of an artificial metabolism and supports several complementary navigation strategies ...

A role for Gle1, a regulator of DEAD-box RNA helicases, at centrosomes and basal bodies. [PDF]
Control of organellar assembly and function is critical to eukaryotic homeostasis and survival. Gle1 is a highly conserved regulator of RNA-dependent DEAD-box ATPase proteins, with critical roles in both mRNA export and translation.

Citrin mediated metabolic rewiring in response to altered basal subcellular Ca2+ homeostasis
Koshenov et al. investigate the regulation of basal mitochondrial bioenergetics and find that Ca2+ fluxes from ER-mitochondria contact sites control basal mitochondrial metabolism and energetics. The authors identify citrin as a primary regulator of this

Hypoxia and hyperglycaemia determine why some endometrial tumours fail to respond to metformin [PDF]
High expression of Ki67, a proliferation marker, is associated with reduced endometrial cancer-specific survival. Pre-surgical metformin reduces tumour Ki-67 expression in some women with endometrial cancer. Metformin's anti-cancer activity may relate to

Systems biology analysis of drivers underlying hallmarks of cancer cell metabolism. [PDF]
Malignant transformation is often accompanied by significant metabolic changes. To identify drivers underlying these changes, we calculated metabolic flux states for the NCI60 cell line collection and correlated the variance between metabolic states of ...
