Electrically synchronizing and modulating the dynamics of ERK activation to regulate cell fate
Summary: Intracellular signaling dynamics play fundamental roles in cell biology. Precise modulation of the amplitude, duration, and frequency of signaling activation will be a powerful approach to investigate molecular mechanisms as well as to engineer ...

The Biosemiotic Approach in Biology : Theoretical Bases and Applied Models [PDF]
Biosemiotics is a growing fi eld that investigates semiotic processes in the living realm in an attempt to combine the fi ndings of the biological sciences and semiotics. Semiotic processes are more or less what biologists have typically referred to as “

Contribution of septins to human platelet structure and function
Summary: Although septins have been well-studied in nucleated cells, their role in anucleate blood platelets remains obscure. Here, we elucidate the contribution of septins to human platelet structure and functionality. We show that Septin-2 and Septin-9

ASPM promotes homologous recombination-mediated DNA repair by safeguarding BRCA1 stability
Summary: DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair by homologous recombination (HR) is essential for ensuring genome stability. Abnormal spindle-like microcephaly-associated (ASPM) gene encodes a spindle protein that is commonly implicated in primary ...

Myoneurin regulates BMP signaling by competing with Ppm1a for Smad binding
Summary: A delicate balance of BMP activity is critical for tissue formation and organogenesis. However, the mechanical molecular details in ensuring the proper duration and intensity of BMP signaling have yet to be fully elucidated.

SUFU suppresses ferroptosis sensitivity in breast cancer cells via Hippo/YAP pathway
Summary: Ferroptosis is a new kind of regulated cell death that is characterized by highly iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Cancer cells differ in their sensitivity to ferroptosis.
