The adult mammalian heart is unable to undergo cardiac repair, limiting potential treatment options after cardiac damage. However, the fetal heart is capable of cardiac repair. In preparation for birth, cardiomyocytes (CMs) undergo major maturational changes that include exit from the cell cycle, hypertrophic growth, and mitochondrial maturation.

Cytoplasmic dynein-1 (dynein) is the primary motor for the retrograde transport of intracellular cargoes along microtubules. The activation of the dynein transport machinery requires the opening of its autoinhibited Phi conformation by Lis1 and Nde1/Ndel1, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Using biochemical reconstitution and cryo-electron microscopy, we show that Nde1 significantly enhances Lis1 binding to autoinhibited dynein and facilitates the opening of Phi.

Cytoplasmic dynein-1, a microtubule-based motor protein, requires dynactin and an adaptor to form the processive dynein-dynactin-adaptor (DDA) complex. The role of microtubules in DDA assembly has been elusive. Here, we reveal detailed structural insights into microtubule-mediated DDA assembly using cryo-electron microscopy.

, labeled an urgent threat by the CDC, shows significant resilience to treatments and disinfectants via biofilm formation, complicating treatment/disease management. The inconsistencies in biofilm architecture observed across studies hinder the understanding of its role in pathogenesis. Our novel in vitro technique cultivates biofilms on gelatin-coated coverslips, reliably producing multilayer biofilms with extracellular polymeric substances (EPS).

Purpose: Kuiyangling is a traditional Chinese medicine formula used for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, but the specific mechanism remains unclear. Imbalance in NETs regulation is one of the important factors contributing to the onset of ulcerative colitis (UC). The HuR/VDR signaling pathway plays a significant role in restoring the intestinal mucosal barrier in UC.
