Analysis of native Ist1 dynamics reveals multiple pools of ESCRT-III on endosomes

Protein trafficking within the endosomal system involves several distinct membrane remodeling events, including those with opposing orientations that lead to the production of intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) and recycling tubules. Components of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) machinery have been implicated in both pathways, although few studies have directly examined their native dynamics […]

Questionnaires for Assessing Patient Preferences in Consultations

In the evolving landscape of healthcare, the significance of patient-provider consultations cannot be overstated. As the paradigm shifts towards a more patient-centered approach, the need for effective communication and understanding between patients and healthcare providers has become increasingly critical. A recent study conducted by a team of researchers, including Bambas, A.Z., Wahidie, D., and Yilmaz-Aslan, […]

Can Targeting Inflammation Alleviate Fatigue in Early-Stage Breast Cancer

Emerging research from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) illuminates the complex interplay between inflammation and the multifaceted fatigue experienced by women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. Fatigue, a pervasive and often debilitating symptom encountered by cancer patients, encompasses not only physical tiredness but extends into cognitive and emotional exhaustion, thereby profoundly diminishing quality […]

Target cell adhesion limits macrophage phagocytosis and promotes trogocytosis

Macrophage phagocytosis is an essential immune response that eliminates pathogens, antibody-opsonized cancer cells, and debris. Macrophages can also trogocytose, or nibble, targets. Trogocytosis and phagocytosis are often activated by the same signal, including IgG antibodies. What makes a macrophage trogocytose instead of phagocytose is not clear. Using both CD47 antibodies and a Her2 chimeric antigen […]

LLP1 is a pyrophosphatase involved in homeostasis/quality control of dolichol-linked oligosaccharide

Dolichol-linked oligosaccharide (DLO) is the precursor for asparagine (N)-linked protein glycosylation. DLO synthesis can be impaired by genetic and environmental factors, leading to the accumulation of various immature DLO intermediates that are subsequently cleaved into phosphorylated oligosaccharides (POSs). Despite the fact that its activity has been known since the 1970s, the identity of the enzyme […]

Genomic Study Uncovers Resilience of Coral-Killing Sponge

In the vast and intricate ecosystems of coral reefs, a hidden danger lurks, posing threats not just to the colorful corals themselves but to entire marine environments. Recent research spearheaded by Liu, PY., Chiu, WC., Lim, S.L., and their collaborators has shed light on the mysterious and pervasive sponge known as Terpios hoshinota. This sponge, […]

Vacuolar pH regulates clathrin-mediated endocytosis through TORC1 signaling during replicative aging

Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is a critical cellular process that regulates nutrient uptake, membrane composition, and signaling. Although replicative aging affects many cellular functions, its impact on CME remains largely unknown. We show that in budding yeast, older cells have slower assembly of early and coat CME modules, resulting in longer endocytic turnover and reduced Mup1 […]

A tiny ocean worm just revealed a big secret about how eyes evolve

A research team from the University of Vienna and the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven has uncovered how the eyes of adult marine bristleworms continue to increase in size throughout their entire lifespan. The work shows that this constant growth is powered by a ring of neural stem cells that resembles similar structures found in […]

Will Glacier Melt Lead to Increased Seismic Activity in Mountain Regions? – State of the Planet

A recent study from Earth and Planetary Science Letters is the first to directly link earthquakes to climate change-induced glacial melt. Scientists analyzed 15 years of seismic activity in the Grandes Jorasses—a peak that is part of the Mont Blanc massif between Italy and France—to better understand this association. This massif is one of the […]
