This study identifies PDGFA-expressing alveolar type 1 cells as a tonic niche organizer that maintains alveolar homeostasis by restraining fibroblast activation and promoting tissue repair.

The paper identifies CYP2B10 as the enzyme that activates BHT into a toxic quinone methide, leading to apoptosis and lung damage in mice.

The paper develops a streamlined workflow for proteomic analysis of proteins and PTMs from dried blood, demonstrating feasibility and best practices for MS-based quantification.

The paper develops a machine learning tool to predict S-palmitoylation sites on transmembrane proteins, identifying new candidates and demonstrating its utility in design.

The paper introduces Acyl-Trap, a modified suspension trap assay for detecting and quantifying S-acylated proteins with low input, and identifies new S-acylation sites in mouse brain.
