  • Liquid-liquid phase separation of ZHX2 protects DLBCL cells against ferroptosis through induction of SLC3A2

    Liquid-liquid phase separation of ZHX2 protects DLBCL cells against ferroptosis through induction of SLC3A2

    ZHX2 is overexpressed in DLBCL and promotes DLBCL proliferation

    To clarify the characteristics of ZHX2 in DLBCL, immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed elevated expression in DLBCL (n = 60) compared to normal tonsils (n = 30; mean optical density…

  • SOuLMuSiC, a novel tool for predicting the impact of mutations on protein solubility

    SOuLMuSiC, a novel tool for predicting the impact of mutations on protein solubility

    Prediction performances

    We tested the prediction performance of SOuLMuSiC on different datasets. We started with the training set \(\mathcal {D}_{Sol}\), and evaluated the performance in leave-one-out cross-validation at protein level. The…

  • The transcription factor WRKY25 can act as redox switch to drive the expression of WRKY53 during leaf senescence in arabidopsis

    The transcription factor WRKY25 can act as redox switch to drive the expression of WRKY53 during leaf senescence in arabidopsis

    Transactivation potential with the WRKY53/WRKY25/WRKY18 subnetwork

    To gain further insight into the potential regulatory subnetwork formed by WRKY18, WRKY25, and WRKY53, we studied the interactions among these three WRKYs and their effects on each…

  • TLRs are blind to pseudouridine RNA

    The recognition of RNA by TLR7 and TLR8 is important for pathogen defense. Pseudouridine (Ψ)-containing RNA is found in endogenous RNA and is used in mRNA vaccines because it lacks immunostimulatory activity. In Cell, Bérouti et al. identify…
