GCN2 in proteostasis: structural logic, signalling networks and disease
Threats to protein synthesis activate the kinase GCN2, initiating the integrated stress response (ISR). GCN2 is triggered by stalled ribosomes and uncharged tRNAs, which accumulate when amino acids are scarce. The ISR adjusts cellular physiology by promoting redox balance, protein quality control, and mitochondrial optimisation.

The role of PARs in platelet function is fairly known; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We report that thrombin myristoylates PAR4 in mouse platelets and PAR1 and PAR4 in human platelets, facilitating their membrane transport and interaction, leading to PAR3/4 heterodimers in mice and PAR1/4 heterodimers in humans.

Prebiotic aqueous reactions catalyzed by native nickel without hydrogen
Serpentinizing (H2‐producing) hydrothermal vents are candidate environments for metabolic origin. They generate highly reducing conditions that convert CO2 to formate and methane in abiotic reactions resembling reactions of the acetyl‐CoA pathway of CO2 fixation. They also contain natural catalysts. Native nickel (Ni0), like Fe0, Co0, and their alloys,

Misfolding mutations in pancreatic lipase have been identified as potential contributors of chronic pancreatitis, an inflammatory disease of the human pancreas. Here, we describe the effect of these misfolding mutations on pancreatic lipase structure using molecular dynamics simulations and structural modeling.

CD36‐mediated lipid rewiring in the metabolic adaptation of tumour ecosystems
Nutrient deprivation drives a lipid‐centric shift in tumour metabolic symbiosis and signalling network. CD36 functions as a bidirectional bridge, transferring fatty acids from stromal donors (adipocytes, CAFs) to the ecosystem tumour‐ and microenvironment‐dependently.
