Timepoint-Specific Percentile Reference Curves for C-Reactive Protein and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate After Uncomplicated Primary Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Single-Center Cohort Study

These curves describe an uncomplicated course rather than validated diagnostic thresholds; they provide a shoulder-specific normative reference and ESR trajectory for RSA, and a benchmark for future infection-event cohorts.

Crystal structure of a class II UDP-glucose—hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase from Bifidobacterium longum involved in human milk oligosaccharide metabolism

Infant-associated bifidobacteria utilize lacto-N-biose I (LNB) and galacto-N-biose (GNB), major components of human milk oligosaccharides and intestinal mucin, respectively, through the GNB/LNB metabolic pathway. A UDP-glucose–hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GalT) from Bifidobacterium longum JCM 1217 (BlGalT2)...

Mapping the regulatory architecture of circadian clock adaptation: A genome-wide eQTL analysis in Drosophila melanogaster

Abstract The circadian clock enables organisms to align internal daily rhythms with environmental cues, with major consequences for survival and fitness. Although the molecular framework of this system in Drosophila melanogaster is well characterized through transcription translation feedback loops involving ten core c...

N6-Methyladenosine RNA Modifications Influence the Stability of FUS-Dependent Biological Condensate Formation

Findings indicate that while protein–protein interactions may initiate LLPS, m6A-modulated RNA–protein interactions govern condensate growth and stability, and provide a mechanistic insight into how epitranscriptomic modifications regulate biomolecular condensation and influence cellular organization, gene regulation,...

Apolipoprotein D3 is required for long-chain cuticular hydrocarbon accumulation and water retention in Acyrthosiphon pisum.

BACKGROUND The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, is a damaging phloem-feeding pest of legume crops, and RNA interference (RNAi)-based targeting of stress-adaptation genes offers a promising route for target-specific pest management. Apolipoprotein D (ApoD) proteins are putative lipid carriers in insects, but the function...

Ex Vivo Immune Response of Casein-Sensitized Lymphocytes to Bovine Milk Protein Composite Genotypes: Beyond the β-Casein A1/A2 Paradigm

Genetic polymorphism of milk proteins, particularly the presence of the κ-casein E variant, significantly modulates the pro-inflammatory potential of milk digests in sensitized lymphocytes, suggesting new strategies for reducing milk immunogenicity.

Folding within Frameworks: Confinement in Zr-MOFs Reshapes Enzyme Structure and Catalytic Activity

Enhancing the robustness of functional proteins remains a central challenge in biotechnology, with implications for catalysis, pharmaceuticals, and industrial synthesis. Enzyme immobilization in porous materials such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is widely used to enhance enzyme stability; however, the structural...

Noncanonical function of Claudin-1 mitigates lethal endoplasmic reticulum stress to drive prostate cancer lineage plasticity and chemoresistance

Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is a lethal subtype of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) driven by therapy-induced lineage plasticity. While endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis is critical for cell fate determination and therapeutic response, the molecular mechanisms linking ER stress regulation to l...

Cumulative and Interactive Effects of Heavy Metal Mixtures Across Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Comparative Review of Alzheimer, Parkinson, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Multiple Sclerosis

This review systematically compares the evidence for cumulative and interactive effects of heavy metal mixtures across four major neurodegenerative diseases, asking which metal combinations have been directly documented for each disease, and whether these patterns are disease-specific or shared.

Symmetry analysis and ancestral sequence reconstruction reveal a symmetrical translocation pathway and activity determinants of ZIP metal transporters

This study demonstrates that combining internal symmetry analysis and ASR for the ZIP family facilitates elucidation of the metal translocation mechanism and identification of subfamily‐specific features that regulate transport function.
