TBC9, an essential TBC-domain protein, regulates early vesicular transport and IMC formation in...
Nature· 4 days agoA study suggests that TBC9, one of the Rab GTPase Activating Proteins, is crucial for early vesicular transport and inner membrane complex formation by regulating Rab2, Rab11A and Rab11B in Toxoplasma gondii.
Promising results of helium plasma jet therapy: Ruptured Achilles tendon shows faster repair
Medical Xpress· 17 hours agoWhat is the largest ligament in the human body? It might surprise some people that it is the...
Asymmetric vibrations in the organ of Corti by outer hair cells measured from excised gerbil cochlea...
Nature· 4 days agoWe analyzed the organ of Corti motions, component by component. Outer hair cells exploit their supporting cells to boost vibrations of the upper part of the organ of Corti while minimally disturbing the basilar membrane.
Simple learning test may be used to diagnose autism at just six months of age
Medical Xpress· 6 days agoMedea, Child Psychopathology Unit, both in Italy, has discovered what might be a marker for autism that could diagnose a child as young as 6 months. In their study, published in PLOS ...
A genome-wide association study identifies a locus associated with knee extension strength in older...
Nature· 2 days agoA genome-wide association study on knee extension strength in 3452 persons of Japanese ancestry 60 years old and above identifies a significant association at a single locus that includes TACC2, a gene encoding a cytoskeleton-related protein.
GDE5/Gpcpd1 activity determines phosphatidylcholine composition in skeletal muscle and regulates...
Nature· 2 days agoSkeletal muscle-specific GDE5/Gpcpd1 deletion leads to glycerophosphocholine accumulation, which alters skeletal muscle phospholipid profiles and reduces passive force in electrically stimulated skeletal muscles in vivo.
Detecting the effect of genetic diversity on brain composition in an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model...
Nature· 2 days agoQUINT workflow analysis of cell and amyloid density in AD-BXD mice demonstrates age-dependent and strain-specific increases in gliosis and amyloid accumulation. These changes in brain composition influence age-related variations in gene expression.
Genome-wide association analysis uncovers rice blast resistance alleles of Ptr and Pia -...
Nature· 2 days agoA GWAS on 500 genetically diverse rice accessions enables identification of an allelic series for the unusual Ptr rice blast resistance gene, and the Pia resistance locus.
Preservation of Bacillus subtilis’ cellular liquid state at deep sub-zero temperatures in...
Nature· 6 days agoA differential scanning calorimetry study of Bacillus subtilis vitrification shows that perchlorate salts can lower the onset of intracellular vitrification, with implications for the low temperature limit of life in salt-rich subzero environments.
Melanophilin regulates dendritogenesis in melanocytes for feather pigmentation - Communications...
Nature· 5 days agoThis study presents the essential functions of the ZnF motif in sorting of the melanophilin protein and novel functions of melanophilin in dendritogenesis in melanocytes.
