This study identifies HSPD1 as a chaperone for MTHFD2, independent of HSPE1, and shows distinct functional roles for HSPD1 and HSPE1 in mitochondrial biology.

This study shows HSPD1 enhances MYCN expression and tumorigenesis in neuroblastoma by supporting mitochondrial translation and proteostasis.

This paper introduces a new ribosome profiling protocol that is faster, cheaper, and more sensitive, enabling use with minimal RNA input.

This study identifies phosphorylation sites in LeishIF4E1 and shows that phosphorylation modulates its protein and transcript interactions, extending its role beyond translation initiation.

The paper analyzes chaperone expression across human tissues, revealing a core set of universally expressed chaperones and tissue-specific variants that contribute to disease susceptibility.
