Additive Effects of Sleep Loss, Psychological Distress and Physical Inactivity on Cognitive Failures in Young Adults

This study examines how sleep loss, psychological distress, and physical inactivity independently and cumulatively affect cognitive failures in young adults, finding additive effects rather than compensatory ones.

Electrically Contrasting Periodic Polymer Interfaces Guide Neuronal Networks

This study shows that periodic polymer stripes with electrical contrasts influence neuronal network formation by guiding axonal growth and synapse formation.

Comprehensive analysis of CXXX sequence space reveals that S. cerevisiae GGTase-I mainly relies on a2X substrate determinants

The paper evaluates S. cerevisiae GGTase-I specificity across all CXXX sequences, finding that non-canonical motifs with non-polar a2 and hydrophobic terminal residues are preferred.

A comprehensive in vivo screen of yeast farnesyltransferase activity reveals broad reactivity across a majority of CXXX sequences

The paper evaluates all possible CXXX sequences as farnesyltransferase targets in yeast using a reporter system, revealing expanded specificity beyond the canonical CaaX motif.
