Lysine Demethylase 4A is a Centrosome Associated Protein Required for Centrosome Integrity and Genomic Stability

This study identifies KDM4A as a centrosome-associated protein whose demethylase activity maintains centrosome integrity and genomic stability.

Artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum Kelch13 mutant proteins display reduced heme-binding affinity and decreased artemisinin activation

This study shows that PfKelch13 mutants have reduced heme-binding affinity, leading to decreased artemisinin activation and contributing to artemisinin resistance.

The mechanosensitive Pkd2 channel modulates the recruitment of myosin II and actin to the cytokinetic contractile ring

This study shows that the Pkd2 channel regulates myosin II and actin recruitment to the cytokinetic contractile ring in fission yeast, suggesting a calcium-dependent mechanism.

Cytoplasmic tail of the putative polycystin channel Pkd2 regulates its clustering in the fission yeast eisosomes

The paper investigates how the cytoplasmic tail of Pkd2 regulates its clustering in fission yeast eisosomes, showing that both plasma membrane microdomains and the cytoplasmic tail are involved.

Tracing the Indian Population Ancestry by cis-linked Mutations in HBB Gene

The paper identifies cis-linked mutations in the HBB gene among Indian thalassemia patients to trace the migratory route of the Ancestral North Indian population.

Theaflavins, polyphenols of black tea, inhibit entry of hepatitis C virus

This study shows that theaflavins from black tea inhibit HCV entry in a dose-dependent manner and show additive effects with existing antivirals.
