The paper investigates how mutations in SARS-CoV-2 N protein affect RNP formation and stability, finding convergent evolution and enhanced RNP assembly in Omicron variants.

This study shows that mitochondrial DNA removal is essential for sperm development and activity, revealing a novel exonuclease, ExoA, required for mtDNA elimination and preventing nuclear-mito imbalance.

This paper introduces a 2D diffusion MRI framework to specifically assess axonal injury and spinal cord microenvironments, showing strong correlation with histological findings.

The paper investigates mtDNA selective inheritance in Drosophila, showing that developmentally-orchestrated mitochondrial processes like fission and transcription enable purifying selection against harmful mutations.
