The paper uses single molecule long-read sequencing to analyze transcriptomes in heart failure patients and controls, identifying novel isoforms and convergent isoform changes across different cardiomyopathy types.

The paper identifies a selective JNK inhibitor that blocks metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer by targeting metabolic pathways.

The paper analyzes clinical and mechanistic data from individuals with ACTB/ACTG1 variants to identify distinct disease phenotypes and molecular mechanisms of non-muscle actinopathies.

The paper reports a new clinical syndrome linked to ACTB mutations, characterized by thrombocytopenia, microcephaly, and developmental disability, and identifies altered cytoskeletal interactions in affected cells.
