The Autism Related Protein Contactin-Associated Protein-Like 2 (CNTNAP2) Stabilizes New Spines: An In Vivo Mouse Study. [PDF]
The establishment and maintenance of neuronal circuits depends on tight regulation of synaptic contacts. We hypothesized that CNTNAP2, a protein associated with autism, would play a key role in this process.

Lis1 finds new digs on the desmosome [PDF]
![Figure][1] The centrosomal protein Lis1 (green) localizes to the cortex of differentiated epithelial cells. A protein that stabilizes microtubules also helps maintain desmosomes, [Sumigray et al.][2] report.

Linking secretion and cytoskeleton in immunity– a case for Arabidopsis TGNap1
Intracellular trafficking, particularly in defense, depends on F‐actin and microtubules (MTs). Cytoskeleton‐Organelle Bridging Proteins (COBPs) link vesicles to these structures, ensuring directional transport. While the specifics of this association are unclear, TGNap1 has been identified as a crucial MT‐binding COBP for defense trafficking ...

Supporting process reuse in PROMENADE [PDF]
Process reuse (the ability to construct new processes by assembling already built ones) and process harvesting (the ability to build generic processes that may be further reused, from existing ones) are two crucial issues in process technology.

Comparative structural study on axonemal and cytoplasmic dyneins
Abstract Axonemal dyneins are the driving force of motile cilia, while cytoplasmic dyneins play an essential role in minus‐end oriented intracellular transport. Their molecular structure is indispensable for an understanding of the molecular mechanism of ciliary beating and cargo transport. After some initial structural analysis of cytoplasmic dyneins,

WONOEP appraisal: Genetic insights into early onset epilepsies
Abstract Early onset epilepsies occur in newborns and infants, and to date, genetic aberrations and variants have been identified in approximately one quarter of all patients. With technological sequencing advances and ongoing research, the genetic diagnostic yield for specific seizure disorders and epilepsies is expected to increase.

Stress-Induced CDK5 Activation Disrupts Axonal Transport via Lis1/Ndel1/Dynein
Axonal transport is essential for neuronal function, and defects in transport are associated with multiple neurodegenerative diseases. Aberrant cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) activity, driven by the stress-induced activator p25, also is observed in ...

Dynamic regulation of dynein localization revealed by small molecule inhibitors of ubiquitination enzymes [PDF]
Cytoplasmic dynein is a minus-end-directed microtubule-based motor that acts at diverse subcellular sites. During mitosis, dynein localizes simultaneously to the mitotic spindle, spindle poles, kinetochores and the cell cortex.

Diagnostic work‐up in malformations of cortical development
Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) represent a heterogeneous spectrum of disorders, characterized by abnormal development of the cerebral cortex. Many MCDs are of genetic origin, although acquired factors can lead to similar phenotypes. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of the diagnostic approach to MCD, illustrated with ...
