Structure of the human heparan sulfate polymerase complex EXT1-EXT2
Heparan sulfates are long and complex polysaccharides that mediate a large number of biological processes at the cell surface. Here, the authors provide structural and functional insights into the human EXT1-EXT2 complex that carries out the ...

4-HIAA Blocks Methamphetamine-Induced Conditioned Place Preference in Mice Through Modulation of the 5-HT Pathway in the Nucleus Accumbens. [PDF]
4‐HIAA crosses the blood–brain barrier. Treatment (1‐mg/kg) inhibited CPP acquisition, promoted extinction and prevented relapse. These behavioural effects were associated with changes in nucleus accumbens 5‐HT expression. ABSTRACT 4‐hydroxyindole‐3‐acetic acid (4‐HIAA) is a metabolite of psilocin.

Cellular SLC35B4 promotes internalization during influenza A virus entry [PDF]
SLC35B4, a nucleotide sugar transporter that mediates the transport of UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-xylose, was found to be required for the replication of influenza A virus (IAV) of the H5N1 subtype in our genome-wide siRNA library screen. We found that defective

Cases report: Mosaic structural variants of the EXT1 gene in previously genetically unconfirmed multiple osteochondromas [PDF]
Multiple osteochondromas (MO) is a rare autosomal dominant skeletal disorder characterized by the development of multiple benign tumors known as osteochondromas. The condition is predominantly caused by loss-of-function variants in the EXT1 or EXT2 genes,
