A correlative study of the genomic underpinning of virulence traits and drug tolerance of Candida auris

This study compares two Candida auris isolates to identify genetic and metabolic differences linked to drug resistance and immune evasion.

Co-chaperone BAG3 directly target autophagic degradation via its LC3-interacting regions

This paper shows BAG3 interacts with ATG8 proteins via LC3-interacting regions, suggesting it acts as a cargo receptor for autophagic degradation.

Patterns of serum immune biomarkers during elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus viremia in Asian and African elephants

This study measures serum immune biomarkers in elephants with EEHV viremia, finding elevated acute phase proteins in fatal cases and potential immune response indicators in cytokines.

Protein content and lipid profiling of isolated native autophagosomes

The paper isolates native autophagosomes using FACS and profiles their protein content and phospholipid composition under different autophagy conditions, finding that proteasome inhibition affects cargo more than starvation.

The Life History of Human Foraging: Cross-Cultural and Individual Variation

The paper analyzes hunting skill data from 1,800 individuals to infer age-related productivity patterns and variation in human foraging.

Essential role of the mouse synapse associated protein Syap1 in circuits for spontaneous motor activity and rotarod balance

This study investigates the role of Syap1 in motor behavior and balance in mice, finding that its deletion leads to specific motor deficits but not cognitive or anxiety-related issues.

RAB18 impacts autophagy via lipid droplet-derived lipid transfer and is rescued by ATG9A

This study shows RAB18 regulates autophagy by linking lipid droplets to lipid supply, and ATG9A phosphorylation can partially restore autophagy when RAB18 is absent.
