Biotic and abiotic stresses constrain plant growth worldwide. Therefore, under-standing the molecular mechanisms contributing to plant resilience is key to achieving food security. In recent years, proteins containing dopamine beta-monooxygenase N-terminal ...
Understanding the biochemical relationship between serum and dermal interstitial fluid (dISF) is critical for advancing minimally invasive diagnostics with wearables and point of care devices focusing on most relevant biomarkers accessible in the ISF. This ...
BackgroundThe imbalance of glutamate (Glu) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmitter system plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Riluzole is a Glu modulator originally approved for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis th ...
The establishment of germ layers during early development is crucial for body formation. The Drosophila zygote serves as a model for investigating these transitions in relation to the chromatin landscape. However, the cellular heterogeneity of the blastode ...
Netherton syndrome (NS) is a rare skin disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in the serine peptidase inhibitor Kazal type 5 (SPINK5) gene. Disease severity and the lack of efficacious treatments call for a better understanding of NS mechanisms. Here ...
In Parkinson's disease, pathogenic factors such as the intraneuronal accumulation of the protein alpha-synuclein affect key metabolic processes. New approaches are required to understand how metabolic dysregulations cause degeneration of vulnerable subtype ...
Nicotinamide riboside kinases (NRKs) control the conversion of dietary Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) to NAD(+), but little is known about their contribution to endogenous NAD(+) turnover and muscle plasticity during skeletal muscle growth and remodeling. Usin ...
Secretory proteins and lipids are biosynthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The "protein quality control" system (PQC) monitors glycoprotein folding and supports the elimination of terminally misfolded polypeptides. A key component of the PQC syste ...
