Accelerating cancer without mutations
Mice get melanoma faster when they have common, inherited variants in a few genes that control cell-wide changes but also respond to the environment.

Hybrid piezoelectric scaffolds offer a promising route for Central Nervous System regeneration by combining structural and electrical cues to support neural stem cell growth. This review highlights their potential to overcome current challenges in neural tissue engineering by exploring porous hybrid materials, their biological interactions, and ...

Role of the particle's stepping cycle in an asymmetric exclusion process: A model of mRNA translation [PDF]
Messenger RNA translation is often studied by means of statistical-mechanical models based on the Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (ASEP), which considers hopping particles (the ribosomes) on a lattice (the polynucleotide chain).

A New Mechanism for Ribosome Rescue Can Recruit RF1 or RF2 to Nonstop Ribosomes
Bacterial ribosomes frequently translate to the 3′ end of an mRNA without terminating at an in-frame stop codon. In all bacteria studied to date, these “nonstop” ribosomes are rescued using trans-translation.

In pancreatic cancer, the protein DKK3 is found to play a complex role: it initially slows early tumor growth but later promotes tumor aggressiveness. DKK3 expression evolves during progression and drives cancer severity by orchestrating cellular and molecular signaling pathways.

Metformin Restores Mitochondrial Function and Neurogenesis in POLG Patient‐Derived Brain Organoids
Patient‐derived POLG‐mutant cortical organoids reveal neuronal subtype‐specific mitochondrial and synaptic defects, with dopaminergic neurons most affected. Metformin treatment restores neuronal identity, mitochondrial function, and excitability, increased mtDNA maintenance, and reprogrammed metabolism via TCA and redox pathways.

Genome‐Wide by Lifetime Environment Interaction Studies of Brain Imaging Phenotypes
This study explores genome‐wide by lifetime environment interactions on brain imaging phenotypes. Gene‐environment interactions explain more phenotypic variance than main effects, pinpoint regulatory variants, and reveal exposure‐specific biological pathways.

Evolutionary pressures on the yeast transcriptome [PDF]
Codon usage bias (CUB) is the well known phenomenon that the frequency of synonymous codons is unequal. This is presumably the result of adaptive pressures favouring some codons over others.
