Article Abstract
We re-annotated the interacting partners of the neuronal scaffold protein DISC1 using a knowledge-based approach that incorporated recent protein interaction data and published literature to. This revealed two highly connected networks. These networks feature cellular function and maintenance, and cell signaling. Of potentially greatest interest was the novel finding of a high degree of connectivity between the DISC1 scaffold protein, linked to psychiatric illness, and huntingtin, the protein which is mutated in Huntington's disease. The potential link between DISC1, huntingtin and their interacting partners may open new areas of research into the effects of pathway dysregulation in severe neurological disorders.

Geometrical Isotope Effects on Chemical Bonding in Hydrogen Bonded Systems: Combining Nuclear-Electronic Orbital DFT and Energy Decomposition Analysis.
J Comput Chem

Wilhelm-Ostwald-Institut für Physikalische und Theoretische Chemie, Leipzig University, Leipzig, Germany.
We investigated primary and secondary geometric isotope effects (H, D, T) on charge-inverted hydrogen bonds (CIHB) and dihydrogen bonds (DHB) using nuclear-electronic orbital density functional theory (NEO-DFT). The dianionic but electrophilic boron cluster [BH] served as a bonding partner, exhibiting a negatively polarized hydrogen atom in the BH bond. CIHB systems included interactions with Lewis acids (AlH, BH, GaH) and carbenes (CF, CCl, CBr), while DHBs were analyzed with NH, HF, HCl, and HBr.

Tiredness may be associated with increased or decreased sexual experience and behavior while fatigue seems to have a predominantly negative effect, although evidence is scarce. This ecological momentary assessment study is the first to examine associations between tiredness or fatigue and concurrent / subsequent sexual desire or sexual arousal and previous / subsequent sexual activity in daily life, including event-based measurements and considering gender differences. Healthy heterosexual individuals (n = 63), aged between 19 and 32 years and in a relationship, indicated their tiredness, general fatigue, physical fatigue, sexual desire, and sexual arousal on an iPod seven times daily over 14 days, and any event-based occurrences of sexual activity.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive type of lung cancer, characterized by rapid proliferation, early metastatic spread, frequent early relapse and a high mortality rate. Recent evidence has suggested that innervation has an important role in the development and progression of several types of cancer. Cancer-to-neuron synapses have been reported in gliomas, but whether peripheral tumours can form such structures is unknown.

Atherosclerosis, a major cause of cardiovascular diseases, is characterized by the buildup of lipids and chronic inflammation in the arteries, leading to plaque formation and potential rupture. Despite recent advances in single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq), the underlying immune mechanisms and transformations in structural cells driving plaque progression remain incompletely defined. Existing datasets often lack comprehensive coverage and consistent annotations, limiting the utility of downstream analyses.

The nuclear factor of activated T cells 3 (NFATc3) plays a significant role in various cancer-related processes, but its interactions with transcriptional modulators, particularly Promyelocytic Leukemia protein (PML), remain poorly understood. PML, a nuclear scaffold protein, is involved in tumor suppression and transcriptional regulation. This study investigates the interaction between NFATc3 and PML, focusing on the role of SUMOylation and its impact on downstream target genes.
