Site-specific phosphorylation of Huntingtin exon 1 recombinant proteins enabled by the discovery of novel kinases

Study question: Does glucose concentration in culture medium have an impact on the DNA methylome of the early human embryo? Summary answer: Glucose concentration is…

MYC is a potent oncogene that is frequently overexpressed in human tumors arising in different tissues. To date there are no approved therapies to directly…

Understanding the physical basis of cellular shape change in response to both internal and external mechanical stresses requires understanding cytoplasmic rheology. At subsecond time-scales and…

Tau aggregation plays a critical role in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), where tau neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) are a key pathological hallmark. While much attention has been…

Super-resolved cryogenic correlative light and electron microscopy is a powerful approach which combines the single-molecule specificity and sensitivity of fluorescence imaging with the nano-scale resolution…

Pancreatic β-cells in the islets of Langerhans are key to maintaining glucose homeostasis, by secreting the peptide hormone insulin. Insulin is packaged within vesicles named…

Thousands of human proteins function by binding short linear motifs embedded in intrinsically disordered regions. How affinity and specificity are encoded in these binding domains…

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal X-linked recessive disease due to loss-of-function mutations in the DYSTROPHIN gene. DMD-related skeletal muscle wasting is typified by…

With the development of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies it became possible to simultaneously analyze millions of variants. Despite the quality improvement it is generally still…
