A Personal Perspective on Metalloprotein Structure and the Future of Macromolecular X‐Ray Crystallography

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
While X‐ray crystallography has been the primary method for determining the structures of metalloproteins, cryoEM has taken over this role, illustrated by [4Fe4S]‐cluster containing proteins deposited in the Protein Data Bank. What will be the role for X‐ray crystallography as cryoEM and machine learning methods dominate the initial structural analysis?

Modeling localized deer removal strategies for managing chronic wasting disease

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used an agent‐based model developed for chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Midwestern white‐tailed deer to assess localized deer removal strategies and how local conditions affect management outcomes. Parcel‐based and ring culling were most effective at reducing CWD prevalence and persistence, and transmission was always greater at greater deer ...

Single-cell transcriptomics unveils molecular signatures of neuronal vulnerability in a mouse model of prion disease that overlap with Alzheimer’s disease

Nature Communications
Understanding why certain neurons are more sensitive to dysfunction and death caused by misfolded proteins could provide therapeutically relevant insights into neurodegenerative disorders.

Swine influenza A replicon particle and live attenuated influenza virus vaccines induce differential systemic and mucosal antibody and T cell responses

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Influenza A virus (IAV) in swine is a significant economic concern, and there is a critical need to improve vaccine efficacy. Commercial and experimental vaccine platforms are effective against homologous infection but may not reliably provide protection

Oncogenic KRAS Rewires Stress Granule Dynamics: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stress granules (SGs) are dynamic, membrane‐less structures that form in response to various cellular stresses, including metabolic, oxidative, and therapeutic challenges. They function as adaptive hubs and reorganize protein synthesis and signaling networks to help cells survive under stress. In cancer, these condensates are often hijacked to

Genetic assessment of apolipoprotein E polymorphism and PRNP genotypes in rapidly progressive dementias in Pakistan

Prion
Rapidly progressive dementias (RPDs) are a type of fatal dementias that cause rapid progression of neuronal dysfunction. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of APOE genotypes (ε2, ε3, ε4) and PRNP mutations (E200K, M129V) in the general population ...

Silent Prions and Covert Prion Transmission

PLOS Pathogens, 2015
Prions are infectious agents with zoonotic potential that cause progressive neurodegenerative diseases, known as the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), in animals and humans. Prion disease can be initiated by a spontaneous event, handed down within families from generation to generation through genetic inheritance, or transmitted between

Co‐ and Multi‐Pathologies in Parkinson's Disease: An International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society Scientific Issues Committee Review

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) has been historically defined as a disease of striatal dopamine deficiency secondary to degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, related to the presence of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites.

Spatiotemporal Progression Patterns of Striatal Dopamine Depletion and Cerebral Hypoperfusion in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The identification of Parkinson's disease (PD) subtypes is crucial for predicting the disease course and designing personalized therapeutic strategies. Objectives The aim of the study was to characterize the heterogeneity of the spatiotemporal evolutionary patterns of striatal dopamine depletion and cerebral hypoperfusion in PD ...

Imaging patterns and genetic associations of brain atrophy across distinct symptom stages in Parkinson's disease

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Early disease stages showed limited cortical atrophy and enrichment of synaptic and calcium signaling pathways, whereas advanced stages demonstrated widespread cortical degeneration associated with immune activation and extracellular matrix remodeling.
