Modeling Cell-Free Protein Synthesis Systems—Approaches and Applications
In vitro systems are ideal setups to investigate the basic principles of biochemical reactions and subsequently the bricks of life. Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) systems mimic the transcription and translation processes of whole cells in a ...

Organoids in pediatric cancer research
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Simultaneous in vitro expression of minimal 21 transfer RNAs by tRNA array method
Transfer RNA (tRNA) plays a central role in translation. The simultaneous in vitro synthesis of minimal yet sufficient tRNA species (at least 21) poses a challenge for constructing a self-reproducible artificial cell.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Cryoprotective agents affect amino acids incorporation into total proteins in cells of lymphoid organs and liver of experimental animals [PDF]
The effect of penetrating (glycerol, DMSO) and poorly penetrating (PEG-400) cryoprotective agents on labeled amino acids incorporation into de novo synthesized proteins in the cells of mice thymus, lymph nodes, spleen and cell-free rat liver extract was ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...
