This study establishes a mechanistic model of amyloid oligomer and protofibril formation in bovine insulin using light scattering and kinetic analysis, revealing end-to-end association as the rate-limiting step.

This study examines sexual reproduction in the Japanese stick insect Ramulus mikado, finding that rare males lack sperm and offspring show no paternal alleles, supporting irreversible asexual reproduction.

The paper investigates historical avian-mediated dispersal in Ramulus mikado stick insects using molecular data, finding low genetic differentiation and identical genotypes across distant populations.

This study examines the relationship between cell type, queen maturation, and ploidy levels in the fat body of termite queens, finding that polyploidization is cell type-specific and associated with sexual maturation.

This study identifies an underground royal chamber used by termite kings and queens during winter, showing it helps avoid cold temperatures and mortality risks.

The paper identifies EHD1 as a protein involved in mitosome-endosome contact in Entamoeba histolytica through immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, and live imaging.

This study quantifies ploidy levels in aphid bacteriocytes across their lifecycle, revealing dynamic changes associated with different phenotypes and developmental stages.

This study identifies EhPTEN1 in E. histolytica and shows it differentially regulates endocytosis, migration, and proliferation through PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 signaling.

This paper identifies KIF4 as a critical regulator of NTCP surface localization for HBV/HDV entry and shows RXR agonists can suppress KIF4 to inhibit viral infection.

This study investigates the role of eIF5A and its hypusination in the proliferation and differentiation of Entamoeba histolytica, identifying key enzymes and gene expression patterns essential for parasite survival.

The paper analyzes single-nucleosome dynamics in living human cells to reveal fast and slow chromatin domains, showing their dynamic organization through statistical analysis and a polymer model.

This paper uses mathematical modeling to link chromatin domain dynamics and organization by analyzing nucleosome movement in living human cells.
