‘I Don't Want to Kill Any More Mice’: Taboo and Silence in PhD Education
ABSTRACT Improving the experience and well‐being of doctoral students requires a deep and nuanced understanding of their challenges. Traditionally, researchers have used reactive methods, such as surveys and interviews, to address these issues. However, some topics may be difficult to capture through these approaches, particularly those that are ...

ABSTRACT Oncogenic condensates act as biophysical sanctuaries that stabilize malignant survival programs. However, a universal regulator capable of orchestrating the integrated biophysical axes governing cellular phase behavior has remained elusive.

Analyses of cytochrome P450 1a (CYP1A)‐knockout (KO) Javanese medaka (Oryzias javanicus) revealed that CYP1A is involved in glucose regulation and reproduction. In the KO fish, significant increases in hepatic transcripts of insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin genes, as well as elevated blood glucose, liver mass, and liver triglyceride levels ...

HaloTag Fusion Enables Dynamic Analysis of Prion Protein Biosynthesis, Turnover, and Misfolding
Prion protein (PrP) misfolding underlies fatal neurodegenerative diseases. We developed a HaloTag‐based PrP fusion enabling spatiotemporal labeling of distinct PrP populations in living cells. This system recapitulates native PrP biology, reveals early misfolding events in disease‐associated mutants, and allows mechanistic interrogation of PrP‐lowering

ABSTRACT The Clinical Assessment Scale in Autoimmune Encephalitis (CASE) tracks disease severity in autoimmune encephalitis (AE), but no threshold for significant change exists. We aimed to determine the minimally clinically important difference (MCID) for CASE.

A Systematic Comparison of Alpha‐Synuclein Seed Amplification Assays for Increasing Reproducibility
ABSTRACT Seed amplification assays (SAAs) enable ultrasensitive detection of misfolded α‐synuclein across biofluids and tissues. Yet, heterogeneity in protocols limits cross‐study comparability and clinical translation. Here, we review α‐synuclein SAA methods and their performance across various biological matrices.
