This study identifies novel thyroid-specific autoantibodies in patients with immune-related adverse events involving the thyroid gland using immunoprecipitation and western blot analysis.

The paper shows that melanotrophs in the pituitary directly sense short-wavelength light, triggering hormone release and UV protection through Opn5m.

This study identifies stress concentration as a key factor in microtissue detachment from engineered scaffolds and develops a computational model to predict and control this process.

This study evaluates autonomic nervous system modulation in unanesthetized adult medaka using heart rate variability, showing frequency-dependent parasympathetic and sympathetic influences.

This study identifies SgJRL proteins from Sclerospora graminicola as apoplastic virulence effectors that suppress plant defense responses during infection.

This paper uses single-molecule nanopore dielectrophoresis to study α-Synuclein folding and unfolding in lipid membranes and how metal ions and peptidomimetics affect these processes.

This study shows that a single amino acid substitution at position 188 converts vertebrate rhodopsin to a photocyclic and photoreversible state, revealing its role in opsin functional diversification.

The paper investigates the role of AmyD, a GPI-anchored α-amylase, in regulating the molecular mass of -1,3-glucan in Aspergillus nidulans cell walls.

BAM15 reduces sepsis mortality and kidney damage in mice by decreasing mitochondrial DNA and reactive oxygen species.

This study develops a Western blot method with deglycosylation to detect Epo and ESAs in urine and plasma, showing the kidney as the main site of Epo production under hypoxia.

This study identifies SMAD3 as a key regulator determining conventional DC versus plasmacytoid DC differentiation through distinct gene regulatory mechanisms.

The paper shows CDK1 phosphorylates hTERT at threonine 249, which is required for RdRP activity and promotes cancer progression independently of telomerase.

The paper uses single-molecule imaging to assess ligand effects on GPCRs by monitoring diffusion dynamics on the cell surface, showing that diffusion coefficients correlate with receptor activity.
