Sensing and Filtering Environmental Fluctuations: The Case of Biomolecular Condensates in Plants
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The diversity of plant condensates reflects constraints of sessile organisms to coordinate postembryonic development with environmental adaptation. This review examines how plants employ condensates to integrate temperature, light, redox, and nutrient signals.

Prion propagation can occur in a prokaryote and requires the ClpB chaperone
eLife, 2014 Prions are self-propagating protein aggregates that are characteristically transmissible. In mammals, the PrP protein can form a prion that causes the fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.

Are amyloids infectious? Prions and prion-like proteins: myths and facts [PDF]
, 2018 Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs) or prion diseases are a group of fatal neurodegenerative disorders affecting mammals. Albeit their low incidence in humans, prion diseases are a subject of passionate research due to their unorthodox ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reveals that Alzheimer's disease–linked APP expression in bone‐forming cells drives skull bone marrow remodeling and alters its vascular connections to the brain. These changes disrupt immune cell trafficking, cerebral blood flow, and cognition. Targeting bone marrow macrophages restores brain function, highlighting a previously unrecognized

The polar clasps of a bank vole PrP(168--176) prion protofibril revisiting [PDF]
, 2019 On 2018-01-17 two electron crystallography structures (with PDB entries 6AXZ, 6BTK) on a prion protofibril of bank vole PrP(168-176) (a segment in the PrP $\beta$2-$\alpha$2 loop) were released into the PDB Bank.

Construction of pathogenic Sec16a mutation mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.Yaqiang Hu et al. engineered a pathogenic Sec16a mutant mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. They observed that the Sec16a mutant mice displayed diminished learning and memory capabilities, along with a limb‐clasping phenotype upon tail suspension.

Porcine prion protein amyloid [PDF]
Prion, 2015 Mammalian prions are composed of misfolded aggregated prion protein (PrP) with amyloid-like features. Prions are zoonotic disease agents that infect a wide variety of mammalian species including humans. Mammals and by-products thereof which are frequently encountered in daily life are most important for human health.

Equine models in translational medicine: A comparative approach to human health
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.This diagram summarizes and contrasts rodent and equine models, outlining their strengths, limitations, and applications. Horses offer naturally occurring diseases, genetic and physiological similarities to humans, and suitability for longitudinal and clinical‐scale studies.
