Progranulin deficiency does not exacerbate TDP-43 pathology in TDP-43 transgenic mouse models
PGRN deficiency does not induce TDP-43 pathology in TDP-43Q331K mice
Mutations in TDP-43 have been genetically linked to ALS and FTLD31,32,33. Mice expressing the ALS-linked TDP-43 mutant Q331K (TDP-43Q331K) at the endogenous TDP-43 loci do not…

Calcium-dependent oligomerization of scavenger receptor CD163 facilitates the endocytosis of ligands
Overall structure of CD163 in complex with Hb-Hp
Two Hp isoforms were overexpressed in HEK293F and purified, which resulted in the presence of uncleaved products (Supplementary Fig. 1a, b). The Hb-Hp and CD163-Hb-Hp complexes were then…

Structural insights into the roles of PARP4 and NAD+ binding in the human vault cage
Structure of the human MVP-PARP4 complex
Full-length constructs of human MVP and PARP4 were cloned into baculoviral vectors for overexpression in insect cells, which do not produce endogenous MVP. An initial attempt to purify the MVP-PARP4 complex…

EIF3B stabilizes MAP2K2 to activate the ERK pathway and promote the progression of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma
The high expression of EIF3B in LSCC is correlated with survival
From Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, we identified that EIF3B was upregulated in LSCC tissue samples (n = 9) compared with paired non-tumor tissue samples (n = 9)…
