This study identifies OPTN as a platform for TBK1 activation during mitophagy, showing OPTN facilitates TBK1 assembly at mitochondrial-autophagosome contact sites and enhances its activation through hetero-autophosphorylation.

This study finds that somatic mutation rates in tropical trees scale with time, not growth rate, showing a constant mutation rate per year across species with different growth rates.

The paper identifies two single-nucleotide variants in the PTEN-induced kinase 1 gene associated with lower recurrence rates in colorectal cancer patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy.

The paper analyzes how mRNA sequences affect translation efficiency and accuracy, identifying key codons and bases that influence ribosome behavior and misreading rates.

This study identifies a single-nucleotide substitution in the TKPR1 gene that determines pollen production in Japanese cedar and suggests its potential application in creating pollen-free plants.
