Macropinocytosis permits the cellular uptake of fluids and nutrients via macropinosomes. Here, the authors show that Phafin2 is required for the formation of macropinosomes and permits their transit through dense actin networks.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease and is characterized by the loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are active substances that interfere with hormonal signaling. Among EDCs,

Deepening the understanding of CNVs on chromosome 15q11–13 by using hiPSCs: An overview
The human α7 neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene (CHRNA7) is widely expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems. This receptor is implicated in both brain development and adult neurogenesis thanks to its ability to mediate ...

ATPase activity of DFCP1 controls selective autophagy
Cellular homeostasis is governed by removal of damaged organelles and protein aggregates by selective autophagy mediated by cargo adaptors such as p62/SQSTM1. Autophagosomes can assemble in specialized cup-shaped regions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

Marker and source-marker reprogramming of Most Permissive Boolean networks and ensembles with BoNesis [PDF]
Boolean networks (BNs) are discrete dynamical systems with applications to the modeling of cellular behaviors. In this paper, we demonstrate how the software BoNesis can be employed to exhaustively identify combinations of perturbations which enforce properties on their fixed points and attractors. We consider marker properties, which specify that some
