    Redox regulation and dynamic control of brain-selective kinases BRSK1/2 in the AMPK family through cysteine-based mechanisms

    George N Bendzunas, Dominic P Byrne ... Natarajan Kannan
    Characterization of redox-active cysteines illuminates the understudied regulatory mechanisms of brain-selective kinases.

    A direct experimental test of Ohno’s hypothesis

    Ljiljana Mihajlovic, Bharat Ravi Iyengar ... Yolanda Schaerli
    Experimental evolution of a duplicated gene increases mutational robustness relative to a single-copy gene but does not accelerate phenotypic evolution.

    Knockout of cyclin-dependent kinases 8 and 19 leads to depletion of cyclin C and suppresses spermatogenesis and male fertility in mice

    Alexandra V Bruter, Ekaterina A Varlamova ... Victor V Tatarskiy
    Knockout of CDK8/19, but not its inhibition, impairs spermatogenesis by reducing steroid production in Leydig cells.

    A systematic review and embryological perspective of pluripotent stem cell-derived autonomic postganglionic neuron differentiation for human disease modeling

    Thomas A Bos, Elizaveta Polyakova ... Monique RM Jongbloed
    Although methods to efficiently generate functional autonomic postganglionic neurons from human pluripotent stem cells largely mirror signaling cues during embryonic development, several in vivo signaling cues remain to be explored in vitro.

    UBR-1 deficiency leads to ivermectin resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Yi Li, Long Gong ... Shangbang Gao
    Behavioral and functional analyses revealed that UBR-1 deficiency in Caenorhabditis elegans disrupts glutamate signaling and confers ivermectin resistance.

    Modularity of the segmentation clock and morphogenesis

    James E Hammond, Ruth E Baker, Berta Verd
    Computational modelling suggests that the segmentation clock and the morphogenesis of the pre-somitic mesoderm exhibit developmental modularity, enabling the independent evolution of these processes and possibly contributing to the high evolvability of vertebrate segment number.

    Peripheral opioid receptor antagonism alleviates fentanyl-induced cardiorespiratory depression and is devoid of aversive behavior

    Brian C Ruyle, Sarah Masud ... Jose A Morón
    The peripherally restricted opioid receptor antagonist naloxone methiodide reverses fentanyl-induced respiratory depression without causing aversive behaviors that are observed after naloxone.

    Enzymatic protein fusions with 100% product yield

    Adrian CD Fuchs
    This enzymatic method enables highly specific and complete 1:1 protein conjugations with small molecules, solid supports, and other proteins, offering broad applicability across diverse biochemical and biotechnological applications.

    Infralimbic parvalbumin neural activity facilitates cued threat avoidance

    Yi-Yun Ho, Qiuwei Yang ... Melissa R Warden
    Infralimbic inhibitory parvalbumin neurons play a counterintuitive role in supporting flexible behavior in the face of threat.

    Structure of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase from the model microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

    Théo Le Moigne, Martina Santoni ... Julien Henri
    Crystallography, molecular dynamics simulations, and biochemical analyses of Calvin-Benson-Bassham sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) from the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii identify a redox module that controls oligomeric states for the activation of the enzyme.
