For decades, the biology of the intestinal stem cells was considered analogous to that of well-studied hematopoietic stem ...
Human microproteins encoded by long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNA) have been increasingly discovered, however, complete functional characterization of these emerging proteins is scattered. Here, we show ...
Genome‐, transcriptome‐ and proteome‐wide measurements provide insights into how biological systems are regulated. However, fundamental aspects relating to which human proteins exist, where they are ...
Gpx4 and TRF are PPARα target genes involved in ferroptosis regulation. Loss of PPARα aggravates iron overload‐induced ferroptosis in vivo, while activation of PPARα is sufficient to largely alleviate ...
Only about 5 years after the first preclinical proof of concept for gene therapy of otoferlin-related auditory synaptopathy (Al-Moyed et al, 2018; Akil et al, 2019), preliminary reports from several ...

Review Process Files De-emphasis of confidential comments Referee cross-commenting Co-review The EMBO Press journals use a fair and transparent process to rapidly publish important science.
Sec1/Munc18‐like (SM) proteins functionally interact with SNARE proteins in vesicular fusion. Despite their high sequence conservation, structurally disparate binding modes for SM proteins with ...
The inner membrane of the mitochondrion folds inwards, forming the cristae. This folding allows a greater amount of membrane to be packed into the mitochondrion. The data in this study demonstrate ...
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles, the morphology of which results from an equilibrium between two opposing processes, fusion and fission. Mitochondrial fusion relies on dynamin‐related GTPases, the ...
3‐phosphoinositide dependent protein kinase‐1 (PDK1) plays a key role in regulating signalling pathways by activating AGC kinases such as PKB/Akt and S6K. Here we describe the 2.0 Å crystal structure ...
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) is a recently discovered adaptive prokaryotic immune system that provides acquired immunity against foreign nucleic acids by utilizing ...
