RNA interference in crop protection: opportunities and challenges during the transition to commercialization

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 5971-5986, July 2026.
RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.

Dysfunction of dynactin 1 in motor neuron degeneration

open access: yesRinsho Shinkeigaku, 2013
Dynactin 1 is an axon motor protein regulating retrograde transport of various proteins and vesicles including autophagosome. We previously demonstrated that the expression levels of dynacin 1 are markedly reduced in spinal motor neurons of sporadic ALS patients.

Identification of Rab41/6d effectors provides an explanation for the differential effects of Rab41/6d and Rab6a/a' on Golgi organization

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2016
Unexpectedly, members of the Rab VI subfamily exhibit considerable variation in their effects on Golgi organization and trafficking. By fluorescence microscopy, neither depletion nor overexpression of the GDP-locked form of Rab6a/a’, the first trans ...

Diet and cell size both affect queen-worker differentiation through DNA methylation in honey bees (Apis mellifera, Apidae). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Young larvae of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) are totipotent; they can become either queens (reproductives) or workers (largely sterile helpers). DNA methylation has been shown to play an important role in this differentiation. In this study, we examine

Different Paths, Similar Pressures: Divergent Drivers of Genetic Diversity Despite Convergent Genomic Signatures of Selection in Response to Urban Intensity in Two Oligolectic Bee Species

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a pervasive form of anthropogenic environmental change and a driver of contemporary evolution. Yet, it remains unclear how demographic processes and environmentally associated genomic variation shape genomic patterns in cities and whether these responses depend on species‐specific ecological traits.

NuMA-microtubule interactions are critical for spindle orientation and the morphogenesis of diverse epidermal structures

open access: yeseLife, 2016
Mitotic spindle orientation is used to generate cell fate diversity and drive proper tissue morphogenesis. A complex of NuMA and dynein/dynactin is required for robust spindle orientation in a number of cell types.

BICD2 phosphorylation regulates dynein function and centrosome separation in G2 and M

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
The activity of dynein is regulated by a number of adaptors that mediate its interaction with dynactin, effectively activating the motor complex while also connecting it to different cargos.

Integrative genomic and functional analyses reveal NINL as a modulator of tau aggregation

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Proteostasis dysfunction is a hallmark of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet the genetic and molecular pathways that disrupt protein homeostasis remain poorly understood. METHODS We integrated human genetics, transcriptomics, and functional studies to identify proteostasis network components involved ...

Mitochondria and the Actin Cytoskeleton in Neurodegeneration

open access: yesCytoskeleton, Volume 83, Issue 4, Page 200-210, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial dysfunction and cytoskeletal disorganization are widely recognized hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Regulation of dynein‐dynactin‐driven vesicular transport [PDF]

open access: yesTraffic, 2017
Most of the long‐range intracellular movements of vesicles, organelles and other cargoes are driven by microtubule (MT)‐based molecular motors. Cytoplasmic dynein, a multisubunit protein complex, with the aid of dynactin, drives transport of a wide variety of cargoes towards the minus end of MTs.
