Biology The Abelson kinase and the Nedd4 family E3 ligases co-regulate Notch trafficking to limit signaling Precise output from the conserved Notch signaling pathway governs a plethora of cellular processes and developmental transitions. Unlike other pathways that use a cytoplasmic relay, the Notch cell surface receptor transduces signaling directly to the nucleus, with endocytic trafficking providing critical regulatory nodes. Here we report that the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase Abelson (Abl) facilitates Notch […] Written by Admin April 6, 2025April 6, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Biology Exploring Who Bears the Cost of Portal Messaging Among Older Adults and In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare technology, the ability for older adults to communicate with their healthcare providers through digital means has transformed how medical interactions occur.

Biology Automated Health Record Analysis Reveals Undiagnosed Hypertension in A transformative study conducted by a team from Mass General Brigham has unearthed significant insights into the realm of hypertension—often dubbed the “silent killer.” This investigation leverages the vast troves of information encoded within electronic health records (EHR) and employs advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques to draw attention to subtle indicators of hypertension in […] Written by Bioengineer April 1, 2025April 1, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Biology Importin-9 and a TPR domain protein MpH drive periodic patterning of ciliary arrays in Tetrahymena We explored how the number of structures is determined in an intracellular organelle series. In Tetrahymena, the oral apparatus contains three diagonal ciliary rows: M1, M2, and M3. During development, the M rows emerge by sequential segmentation of a group of basal bodies, starting with the longest and most anterior M1 and ending with the […] Written by Admin March 30, 2025March 30, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Biology Intersection of GPCR trafficking and cAMP signaling at endomembranes GPCRs comprise the largest family of signaling receptors and control essentially every physiological process. Many biochemical reactions underlying GPCR signaling are now elucidated to atomic resolution in cell-free preparations, but how elemental signaling reactions are organized in intact cells remains less clear. Significant progress has been made toward bridging this knowledge gap by leveraging new […] Written by Admin March 26, 2025March 26, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
