This study examines how chronic ER stress disrupts mitochondrial-associated ER membrane integrity in corneal endothelial cells, showing increased ER-mitochondrial distance and altered MAM protein expression.

This study investigates how ATF4 regulates mitochondrial dysfunction and mitophagy in corneal endothelial cells, leading to apoptosis in Fuchs dystrophy.

The paper compares Rad51 and Dmc1 recombinases using structural and functional analyses to show differences in their interfacial amino acids and evolutionary trajectories.

The paper identifies Rad51 interaction motifs in Rad54 and Hed1, and solves their CryoEM structures to explain their roles in regulating Rad51 activity during mitosis and meiosis.

The paper presents CryoEM structures of Rad51 and Dmc1 in ADP-bound states and compares them to ATP-bound filaments, revealing structural transitions linked to ATP hydrolysis and filament disassembly.
