Deciphering neuronal circuit dynamics is critical for understanding how the brain encodes information.In a recent study in Cell Research,Wang et al.shed light on how neuronal ensemble activity encodes time in the supr...
In a recent Nature paper,Mensah et al.demonstrate that a significant subset of frameshift mutations in C-terminal intrinsically disordered regions(IDRs)can alter phase separation propensities,cause protein mislocaliza...
While widespread mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization(MOMP)generally seals the fate of stressed cancer cells as it elicits caspase-dependent mechanisms that regulate the kinetics and immunological manifestati...
AHI1 is a neurodevelopmental gene,and its expression deficiency was found to correlate with altered stress responses and depressive behaviors in mice.In a recent paper of Cell Research,Zhang et al.show that AHI1 reduc...

Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer.However,systematic characterizations of metabolites in triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)are still lacking.Our study profiled the polar metabolome and lipidome in 330 T...

Dear Editor,As well as glucose being the major carbon nutrient for most cells,its availability also acts as a gate-keeper exerting a switch between anabolic and catabolic metabolism,with the protein kinases mTORC1 and...
Hyperactivity of LRRK2,a multifunctional serine/threonine protein kinase,is central to Parkinson's disease pathogenesis.Vitamin B12 turns out to be a potent inhibitor of its undesirable activity.An estimated 7-10 mill...
SETD2 encodes a histone H3 lysine 36 (H3K36) methyltrans- ferase affected by mutations and deletions in a wide variety of cancers. Whether SETD2 loss alone can initiate tumorigenesis has not been established previou...
Polymorphism of the FTO gene encoding an N^6-methyladenosine (m^6A) RNA demethylase was robustly associated with human obesity; however, the mechanism by which FTO affects metabolism, considering its emerging role i...
Slow-cycling BRAF^V600E melanoma cells are notoriously resistant to standard chemotherapy or targeted therapy but the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Now a new study unlocks this mystery and offers novel insigh...
