The Myeloma Risk Variant of TNFRSF13B Shows Reduced NF‐κB Signalling Activity in HEK293 Cells
ABSTRACT A single nucleotide variant rs34562254 in TNFRSF13B, which encodes TACI (transmembrane activator and CAML interactor), is associated with an increased risk of myeloma and MGUS. This variant encodes a proline to leucine substitution at residue 251 in the long isoform (P251L) and residue 205 in the short isoform (P205L) of TACI.

Metabolic mRNA insufficiency of single cells: Implications for drug targeting and resistance
Because none of the single‐cell mRNA profiles of growing cell populations encoded any pathway towards cell growth, we used cluster‐averaged transcriptomes to estimate protein‐constrained Vmax's and identify (combinations of) subpopulation‐specific targets to overcome drug resistance. (Graphical Abstract was created in BioRender. Liu, Y. (2026). https://

Mechanisms underpinning the progression of nondysplastic Barrett's oesophagus to cancer
Barrett's oesophagus confers a low but significant cancer risk. The condition is common but we do not have effective biomarkers to identify susceptible patients. We believe that there is no single factor that determines cancer risk and an understanding of the combinations of interactions (via gene expression and natural selection) between the Barrett's

Human frataxin deficiency causes Friedreich's ataxia, yet how iron‐binding events are communicated across the protein is unclear. Using transfer entropy analysis of molecular dynamics simulations, we identify buried hydrophobic core leucines (LEU136, LEU140) as the source of directional signaling toward the iron‐binding acidic ridge.

Some prenylated flavin mononucleotide (prFMN) synthases exceptionally prefer dimethylallyl phosphate (DMAP) over dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), which is a common prenyl donor substrate for many prenyltransferases. Structural and mutagenic analyses of Methanosarcina mazei prFMN synthase, which prefers DMAP but can also accept DMAPP, elucidated its ...
