This study shows Mkl1/2 repress FoxO transcription independently of PI3K/AKT, protecting against lipodystrophy and muscle atrophy by maintaining adipose and muscle tissue.

This study identifies an inter-organ mechanism of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) using a generative computational approach, revealing a liver-lung crosstalk involving kininogen 1 and bradykinin receptor B1.

The paper uses radioisotope imaging and ion flux measurements to show that Na+ efflux via SOS1 occurs in mature root zones, not just the root apex, in Arabidopsis.

This study compares the efficiency of PDI and ERp46 in catalyzing disulfide bond formation in nascent chains during translation, showing ERp46 is more effective early on.

This study identifies EXOCYST70A3 as a regulator of root system depth in Arabidopsis by modulating PIN4 protein distribution and auxin transport, affecting drought resistance.

This study shows pirfenidone reduces fibrotic responses in lung fibroblasts by inhibiting CTHRC1, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target for lung fibrosis.
