Syntaxin-2 coordinates endolysosomal trafficking to balance phagocytic uptake and phagolysosomal clearance in macrophages

This study identifies syntaxin-2 as a regulator of phagocytic uptake and phagolysosomal clearance in macrophages by coordinating receptor density, cup expansion, and maturation.

F-box protein FBXB-65 regulates anterograde transport of UNC-104 through modification near the PH domain

This study shows FBXB-65 regulates UNC-104 anterograde transport by modifying it near the PH domain, affecting cargo transport efficiency and motor dynamics.

Pathogenic aggregates alter actin organization and cellular viscosity resulting in stalled clathrin mediated endocytosis

This study shows that pathogenic protein aggregates disrupt actin organization and cellular viscosity, impairing clathrin-mediated endocytosis in neurodegenerative conditions.

BACTERIAL GROWTH INDUCED BIOCEMENTATION TECHNOLOGY, 'SPACE BRICK' - A PROPOSAL FOR EXPERIMENT AT MICROGRAVITY AND PLANETARY ENVIRONMENTS

The paper investigates microbial induced calcite precipitation for manufacturing space bricks and proposes experiments in low-earth orbit using lunar simulant soil.

Investigating the impact of combination phage and antibiotic therapy: a modeling study

This study uses a mathematical model to examine how immune responses affect phage-antibiotic combination therapy and finds that treatment frequency and dose are critical for effectiveness.

Kinetochore capture by spindle microtubules: why fission yeast may prefer pivoting to search-and-capture

The paper compares two kinetochore capture mechanisms in fission yeast, finding that rotational diffusion is more efficient at low microtubule numbers, while search-and-capture becomes more efficient at higher numbers.
