This study identifies SPARK as a conserved multi-protein complex essential for vertebrate fertilization, linking gamete recognition to membrane fusion.

This study identifies a moss protein with dual acetylation and phosphorylation domains that regulates the 2D-to-3D developmental transition through PTM-mediated metabolic reprogramming.

The paper profiles mitochondrial activity, morphology, and associated molecular changes during zebrafish embryogenesis, identifying increased ER-mitochondria contacts and mitochondrial fusion as key contributors to mitochondrial activation.

This study shows that metabolic enzymes act as autophagy receptors in plants to degrade defense executors during viral infection, revealing autophagy as a tolerance pathway rather than an antiviral defense.

This study identifies eIF4E1b as a key factor in maternal mRNA dormancy by maintaining short polyA tails and repressing translation until needed in zebrafish embryos.

The paper integrates transcriptome and proteome data from human brain organoids to uncover posttranscriptional regulation of ribosomal genes during corticogenesis.
