This study shows that Importin α4 deficiency in mice leads to psychiatric-like behaviors and increased neuroinflammation, with elevated NF-κB and cytokine expression.

This study identifies importin-7 as a nuclear carrier for Flaviviridae core proteins and shows its requirement for infectious virus production.

The paper identifies a novel DNA-binding domain in importin α2 that enables chromatin association, revealing its dual role in nuclear transport and gene regulation.
