The metabolic syndrome- associated small G protein ARL15 plays a role in adipocyte differentiation and adiponectin secretion. [PDF]
Common genetic variants at the ARL15 locus are associated with plasma adiponectin, insulin and HDL cholesterol concentrations, obesity, and coronary atherosclerosis.

Research Advances of the Autophagy‐Regulated Radiosensitivity
Autophagy plays a dual role in regulating cellular radiosensitivity in radiotherapy (RT). We discuss the mechanisms by which autophagy promotes survival and growthsuppression by modulating radiosensitivity. It also outlines some frontier autophagy‐targeted radiotherapies. ABSTRACT Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process of cell self‐catabolism

C9ORF72 interaction with cofilin modulates actin dynamics in motor neurons. [PDF]
Intronic hexanucleotide expansions in C9ORF72 are common in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia, but it is unknown whether loss of function, toxicity by the expanded RNA or dipeptides from non-ATG-initiated translation are ...

The Role of the Early Secretory Pathway in Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Replication
Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) induces rearrangements of host-cell membranes to generate vesicles that are believed to provide platforms for formation of the viral replication complex. The cellular origin of these vesicles and the properties that

Drug hypersensitivity caused by alteration of the MHC-presented self-peptide repertoire [PDF]
Idiosyncratic adverse drug reactions are unpredictable, dose independent and potentially life threatening; this makes them a major factor contributing to the cost and uncertainty of drug development. Clinical data suggest that many such reactions involve

Exosome Biogenesis, Regulation, and Function in Viral Infection [PDF]
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles released upon fusion of multivesicular bodies(MVBs) with the cellular plasma membrane. They originate as intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) duringthe process of MVB formation.
