Reproductive success of inbred strain MV31 of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in a self-sustaining inland laboratory culture system

This study establishes a self-sustaining lab culture system for Mnemiopsis leidyi, achieving reproductive success comparable to wild-caught individuals using a co-cultured diet of rotifers and copepods.

TNF receptor associated factor 6 interacts with ALS-linked misfolded superoxide dismutase 1 and promotes aggregation

The paper identifies TRAF6 as an interactor of misfolded SOD1 in ALS, showing it promotes aggregation through ubiquitination.

In Silico Determined Properties of Designed Superoxide Dismutase-1 Mutants Predict ALS-like Phenotypes In Vitro and In Vivo

The paper designs and tests SOD1 mutants using computational methods, showing that a destabilizing mutant causes ALS-like phenotypes while a stabilizing mutant rescues them in zebrafish.
