Abstract Protein disulphide formation between cysteine residues impacts protein folding and function, yet the context in which it occurs often determines whether it is beneficial or detrimental. To ensure proper disulphide status, organisms have evolved compartment-specific disulphide maintenance systems. Some of these...
COS plasma membrane acts as a shunt conducting free transmembrane proteins between lamellae by Brownian diffusion, even in the presence of crowding effects and complex membrane geometry, while lamellae are capacitive sources/sinks.
This work provides the first systematic comparison of MRM, MS3, and in-source CID for PPG quantification, establishing a sensitive analytical platform with complementary greenness and practical applicability assessments using AGREE, AGSA, CACI, and GEMAM, for polymer bioanalysis in complex matrices.
High-resolution structure determination of RNA remains a major challenge due to its conformational flexibility, intrinsic heterogeneity, and susceptibility to degradation. Although RNA plays central roles in gene regulation, viral replication, and cellular homeostasis, RNA-only structures represent a small fraction of...

Haplo-identical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haploHCT) is an integral treatment paradigm for patients with leukemia. While overall survival (OS) post-haploHCT has steadily improved, relapse-free survival (RFS) remains relatively stagnant. Upon the discovery of killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) on natur...
Abstract Disruption of protein homoeostasis, or proteostasis, is a hallmark of protein conformational diseases (PCDs), including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. These disorders are characterized by progressive protein aggregation and cellular dysfunction, yet no effective therapies exist. Emerging evidence indicat...
Abstract Proteostasis, the process governing the dynamic regulation of protein synthesis, folding and degradation, is critical for maintaining cell function and organismal health. Ageing disrupts this intricate system, leading to inactive, misfolded and/or aggregated proteins that contribute to age-associated pathologi...
Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) and BCL2 are key therapeutic targets in marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). We evaluated the novel BTK degrader tacabrutideg (BGB-16673) and the secondgeneration BCL2 inhibitor sonrotoclax, alone and in combination, in MZL models, including derivatives with acquired resistance to BTK, BCL2, and P...
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of gluconeogenesis caused by the biallelic pathogenic variants of FBP1. Recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis usually occur during childhood. Because the ketone levels during hypoglycemic attacks may vary in patients...
Abstract The mitochondrial chaperone and co-chaperone HSP60/HSP10 (HSPD1/ HSPE1), the mammalian homologues of bacterial GroEL/GroES, form a barrel-and-lid complex to fold newly imported or misfolded mitochondrial proteins. Several lines of evidence suggest that HSPD1 and HSPE1 have diverged in function. HSPD1 and HSPE1...
BACKGROUND Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive form of primary brain cancer. Blood platelets have emerged as biomarkers where their RNA expression pattern indicates a tumor's presence. Our study aimed to characterize these patterns to identify biological processes associated with GBM and to evaluate their potenti...
Abstract Huntington's disease is caused by the trinucleotide repeat CAG expansion in the huntingtin gene, resulting in an N-terminal polyglutamine (polyQ) tract that renders the huntingtin protein (HTT) prone to misfolding and aggregation. Although polyQ expansion is an intrinsic driver of aggregation, the folding traj...
