3D‐Printed Protein Models as an Educational Tool in Biochemistry Outreach
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The abstract and complex nature of molecular biology often presents significant challenges for students at all levels of study. Traditional teaching methods, such as the use of 2D diagrams, may not fully convey the intricacies of these topics, leading to difficulties in comprehension and engagement. This study aimed to introduce 3D‐printed and

An Engineered Nonsense \u3cem\u3eURA3\u3c/em\u3e Allele Provides a Versatile System to Detect the Presence, Absence and Appearance of the [em\u3ePSI\u3c/em\u3e\u3csup\u3e+\u3c/sup\u3e] Prion in \u3cem\u3eSaccharomyces cerevisiae\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
, 2006 Common methods to identify yeast cells containing the prion form of the Sup35 translation termination factor, [PSI+], involve a nonsense suppressor phenotype. Decreased function of Sup35p in [PSI+] cells leads to readthrough of certain nonsense mutations

The power of many: when genetics met yeasts and high‐throughput
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent years, complex technological capabilities have evolved, driven by the need to solve complex and integrative biological questions through global analyses. New equipment allows the scaling up and automation of processes which previously were carried out on a very limited scale.

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review
Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.

Catalytic Amyloids: Turning Fibrils Into Biocatalysts
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.Amyloids, traditionally associated with diseases, have emerged as versatile catalytic scaffolds. From natural amyloid sequences to bioinspired and de novo designs, we highlight strategies to construct catalytic active sites and anchor enzymes onto fibrils, creating versatile nanomaterials with tunable activities. ABSTRACT Amyloids have been regarded as

Comparing the Folds of Prions and Other Pathogenic Amyloids
Pathogens, 2018 Pathogenic amyloids are the main feature of several neurodegenerative disorders, such as Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease. High resolution structures of tau paired helical filaments (PHFs), amyloid-

EGR1 Nuclear Condensates Promote Renal Cyst Development in Polycystic Kidney Disease
Exploration, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is marked by aberrant cell proliferation driven by cAMP‐PKA and MAPK signaling pathways. EGR1, a transcription factor directly activated by the above two pathways, is critical in the over‐proliferation of tumor cells, which share similarities with cystic epithelial cells in ADPKD.

Stochastic Modelling Approach to the Incubation Time of Prionic Diseases
, 2003 Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies like the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans are neurodegenerative diseases for which prions are the attributed pathogenic agents.
