Autophagosome development and chloroplast segmentation occur synchronously for piecemeal degradation of chloroplasts

The paper shows that autophagosome development and chloroplast segmentation occur together during chloroplast degradation in sugar-starved leaves.

Palaeoproteomic investigation of an ancient human skeleton with abnormal deposition of dental calculus

The paper uses palaeoproteomics to analyze dental calculus from an ancient human skeleton, identifying bacterial and host proteins related to periodontal disease and defense responses.

Influenza A virus agnostic receptor tropism revealed using a novel biological system with terminal sialic acid-knockout cells

This paper introduces a novel system using sialic acid receptor-knockout cells to study influenza A virus receptor tropism, revealing unique biological tropism undetectable by conventional assays.

Brain fatty acid binding protein exhibits non-preferential and mutation-resistant binding towards fatty acids

This study shows FABP7 binds fatty acids with similar affinities at physiological temperature, and nuclear localization depends on conformational changes rather than binding preference or mutations.

Simultaneous Binding of the N- and C-terminal Cytoplasmic Domains of Aquaporin 4 to Calmodulin May Contribute to Vesicular Trafficking

This study investigates the CaM-binding properties of AQP4's N- and C-terminal domains, revealing a unique binding mode that may regulate vesicular trafficking.

Identification of differential gene expression pattern in lens epithelial cells derived from cataractous and non-cataractous lenses of Shumiya cataract rat

This study identifies gene expression changes in lens epithelial cells of Shumiya cataract rats, finding downregulation of genes involved in fiber differentiation and suggesting cholesterol deficiency contributes to cataract formation.

Cep57 and Cep57L1 cooperatively maintain centriole engagement during interphase to ensure proper centriole duplication cycle

This study shows that Cep57 and Cep57L1 work together to keep centrioles engaged during interphase, preventing premature disengagement and ensuring proper centriole duplication and chromosome segregation.

Establishment of a Reverse Genetics System for Influenza D Virus

This paper establishes a reverse genetics system for Influenza D virus, enabling the generation of recombinant viruses and analysis of replication and pathogenicity mechanisms.
