Perspectives on tissue-selective insulin derivatives
Insulin is a central regulator of metabolic homoeostasis with diverse, tissue-specific actions across multiple organs. Despite major advances in insulin formulations, current therapies rely on systemic delivery and do not reproduce the p...

Hsp90 as a master regulator in autoimmunity: from cellular stress to clinical opportunity
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a ubiquitous molecular chaperone that governs the folding, stabilization and activity of a wide range of client proteins, many of which are critical regulators of immune cell signalling and inflammatory r...

TEAD4 Regulates apical domain homeostasis and cell-positioning to maintain the trophectoderm lineage during mouse blastocyst development
In mammalian preimplantation embryos, distinct cell lineages occupy defined spatial niches. The outer trophectoderm (TE) forms an epithelial monolayer surrounding the inner cell mass (ICM) and blastocyst cavity. In mice, the Tead4 gene e...

Identification of expressed endogenous retroviral element associated long terminal repeats in devil facial tumour cells
The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) population has undergone a major decline in the wild owing to the epidemics of two transmissible cancers known as devil facial tumours (DFT1 and DFT2). A multipronged conservation strategy is in...

Interaction of genetic and environmental risk factors in the aetiology of keratoconus
Keratoconus (KC) is a multifactorial corneal ectasia disorder that is influenced by genetic and environmental risk factors. The manner and degree to which any risk factor contributes mechanistically to KC pathogenesis is not fully unders...

A luminal proteome of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus reveals a novel modulator of ER stress tolerance in African trypanosomes
African trypanosomes employ specialized mechanisms of membrane trafficking as a strategy to persist in both the mammalian host and insect vector. Their survival relies on continuous synthesis and surface delivery of extremely abundant su...

Emerging role for R-loops in chromosome segregation
R-loops are evolutionarily conserved three-stranded nucleic acid structures formed when a nascent RNA transcript hybridizes with its complementary DNA strand, thereby exposing the non-template strand as single-stranded DNA. Traditionally...

Assessment of adult structural plasticity in Drosophila neurons
Unravelling how adult neurons reshape their architecture is key to understanding post-developmental plasticity. Drosophila clock neurons, which remodel their terminals on a daily basis, offer a unique model to examine the mechanisms unde...

Molecular basis and therapeutic potential of sortase A inhibitors as new antibiotics against MDR pathogens
Attaching proteins to the cell surface presents a technical challenge to Gram-positive bacteria. A class of enzymes called sortases solves this challenge by covalently anchoring proteins, including an arsenal of virulence factors, to the...

The roles of symmetric and asymmetric parental histone recycling in cell fate, development, and disease
Replication of the epigenome occurs concurrently with DNA replication. A major component of epigenetic memory is contained in histones, and this memory is preserved via recycling of parental histones onto the leading and lagging strands ...
