Exploring health behaviors and the feasibility of a lifestyle intervention for patients with multiple myeloma.

Purpose: Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematologic malignancy in the USA, with higher rates observed in older adults and African Americans (AA). Survivors experience fatigue, bone pain, reduced functioning, and obesity, highlighting the value of developing lifestyle interventions for this diverse group. This study explores lifestyle behaviors and supportive care needs to inform future programs tailored to the MM community.

Axoneme polyglutamylation regulated by Joubert syndrome protein ARL13B controls ciliary targeting of signaling molecules.

Tubulin polyglutamylation is a predominant axonemal post-translational modification. However, if and how axoneme polyglutamylation is essential for primary cilia and contribute to ciliopathies are unknown. Here, we report that Joubert syndrome protein ARL13B controls axoneme polyglutamylation, which is marginally required for cilia stability but essential for cilia signaling.
