Article Abstract

GABAergic interneurons in the neocortex play pivotal roles in the feedforward and feedback inhibition that control higher order information processing and thus, malfunction in the inhibitory circuits often leads to neurodevelopmental disorders. Very interestingly, a large diversity of morphology, synaptic targeting specificity, electrophysiological properties and molecular expression profiles are found in cortical interneurons, which originate within the distantly located embryonic ganglionic eminences. Here, I will review the still ongoing effort to understand the developmental trajectories of GABAergic cortical interneuron subtypes.

The E76K mutation in protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) SHP2 is a recurrent driver of developmental disorders and cancers, yet the mechanism by which this single-site substitution promotes persistent activation remains elusive. Here, we combine path-based conformational sampling, unbiased molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, Markov state models (MSMs), and neural relational inference (NRI) to elucidate how E76K reshapes the activation landscape and regulatory architecture of SHP2. Using a minimum-action trajectory derived from experimentally determined closed and open structures, we generated representative transition intermediates to guide the unbiased MD simulations.

Unlabelled: Oncogenes amplified on extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) contribute to treatment resistance and poor survival across cancers. Currently, the spatiotemporal evolution of ecDNA remains poorly understood. In this study, we integrate computational modeling with samples from 94 treatment-naive human glioblastomas (GBM) to investigate the spatiotemporal evolution of ecDNA.

Shell matrix proteins (SMPs) are fundamental biological macromolecules for mollusk shell formation, yet fewer than 400 SMPs in mollusks have been previously identified, hindering our understanding of how mollusks construct and maintain their shells. Here, we identified 1689 SMPs in the Pacific oyster using three different mass spectrometry techniques, representing a significant methodological advancement in shell proteomics, enabling a 6.52-fold increase in SMP identification compared to previous studies.

Objective: Diabetes mellitus combined with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a prevalent and intricate metabolic disorder that presents a significant global health challenge, imposing economic and emotional burdens on society and families. An in-depth understanding of the disease pathogenesis is crucial for enhancing diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, the study aims to identify and validate autophagy-related diagnostic biomarkers associated with T2DM-associated MAFLD, investigate regulatory mechanisms in disease progression, and explore cellular diversity within the same tissue using single-cell sequencing data.
