By inhibiting the DNA polymerases, BKC enhances the endogenous RS in cancer cells, leading to increased DNA damage. IBC specifically inhibits CHK2 to prevent DNA repair. The combined use of BKC and ...

This study reveals that female moths utilize ultrasonic sounds emitted by dehydrated plants to inform their oviposition decisions, highlighting sound as a potential sensory cue for optimal host plant ...

Measuring mitochondrial respiration in frozen tissue samples provides the first comprehensive atlas of how aging affects mitochondrial function in mice.

This is an important study using a combination of optogenetics and calcium imaging to provide insight into the function of the cholinergic input to the prelimbic cortex in probabilistic spatial ...

This important study leverages the power of Drosophila genetics and sparsely-labeled neurons to propose a new model for neuronal injury signaling. The authors present convincing evidence to support ...

This manuscript provides valuable information about the genesis of CPSF6 condensates due to HIV-1 infection. However, the evidence is incomplete as it is missing more functional assays. Furthermore, ...

Breast cancer cells exhibit organotropism during metastasis, showing preferential homing to certain organs such as bone, lung, liver, and brain. One potential explanation for this organotropic ...

A novel tool is used to assess gene function in vitro by targeted endogenous transcriptional activation to unveil novel players in development and disease.

RNA-targeting compounds or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) offer a potent means for controlling viral infections. An essential prerequisite to their design depends on identifying conserved and ...

This study investigates the fundamental role of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in membrane biology, using a unique model to perform a thorough genetic screen that highlights that PUFA synthesis ...

This paper presents the important discovery that lipid metabolic imbalance caused by Snail, an EMT-related transcription factor, contributes to the acquisition of chemoresistance in cancer cells.

The findings are considered valuable and have theoretical implications for the interdisciplinary field of value-based social decision-making. Support for the main claims is incomplete and these should ...
