Self-organization of stem cells into embryos: A window on early mammalian development
Embryonic development is orchestrated by robust and complex regulatory mechanisms acting at different scales of organization. In vivo studies are particularly challenging for mammals after implantation, owing to the small size and inaccessibility of the ...

Differential Expression Of Gap Junction mRNAs And Proteins In The Developing Murine Kidney And In Experimentally Induced Nephric Mesenchymes [PDF]
The expression of three gap junction (GJ) proteins, alpha-1 (Cx43), beta-1 (Cx32), and beta-2 (Cx26), and their transcripts were examined during the ontogeny of the mouse and rat kidney. These proteins were expressed in two non-overlapping patterns.

Cellular aspect ratio and cell division mechanics underlie the patterning of cell progeny in diverse mammalian epithelia. [PDF]
Cell division is essential to expand, shape, and replenish epithelia. In the adult small intestine, cells from a common progenitor intermix with other lineages, whereas cell progeny in many other epithelia form contiguous patches.

By studying the maturation mechanisms of vasopressin (AVP), this manuscript identifies FAM134B‐mediated ER‐phagy as a critical pathway for degrading both aggregated proAVP and the key ERAD component, HRD1. HRD1 induction mitigates proAVP aggregation and support AVP neuron function in the absence of autophagy.

Redundancy and compensation in axon guidance: genetic analysis of the Drosophila Ptp10D/Ptp4E receptor tyrosine phosphatase subfamily [PDF]
Background: Drosophila has six receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs), five of which are expressed primarily in neurons. Mutations in all five affect axon guidance, either alone or in combination.

Simultaneous Detection of Neural Activity and Temperature in Photothermal Neural Stimulation
Photothermal neuromodulation technology faces limitations in understanding its mechanisms and effects on cellular behavior due to the difficulty of directly measuring temperature changes at the cell interface during optical stimulation of neurons. To overcome this challenge, ultrasensitive, transparent temperature sensors integrated with low‐noise ...

NRAS mutations are widespread in hematologic malignancies. Our study shows that GOLGA7 serves as a safe and effective therapeutic target for NRAS‐driven leukemia. Loss of Golga7 in adult mice effectively suppresses NrasG12D‐driven myeloproliferative neoplasm by disrupting its PM localization and impairing subsequent MAPK signaling, without affecting ...

Berberine is a Novel Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter Inhibitor that Disrupts MCU‐EMRE Assembly
Berberine, a safe and FDA‐approved drug, is identified as a novel mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) inhibitor. By disrupting MCU‐EMRE interaction, Berberine prevents mitochondrial calcium overload and protects against ischemia/reperfusion injury, offering a promising therapeutic strategy for diseases linked to mitochondrial calcium dysregulation ...

How germline genes promote malignancy in cancer cells
We hypothesize that activation of a “germline program” promotes oncogenesis. Expression of otherwise germline specific genes may result in pseudomeiotic activity, thereby promoting oncogenesis through genomic instability. Other processes that are differentially regulated in the germline, such as migration and epigenetic – and metabolic plasticity, may ...
