The mitochondrial outer membrane (OMM) β-barrel proteins link the mitochondrion with the cytosol, endoplasmic reticulum, and other cellular membranes, establishing cellular homeostasis. Their active insertion and assembly in the outer mitochondrial membrane is achieved in an energy-independent yet highly effective manner by the Sorting and Assembly Machinery (SAM) of the OMM. The core SAM constituent is the 16-stranded transmembrane β-barrel Sam50.

Chemical reprogramming enables the generation of human pluripotent stem (hCiPS) cells from somatic cells using small molecules, providing a promising strategy for regenerative medicine. However, the current method is time consuming, and some cell lines from different donors are resistant to chemical induction, limiting the utility of this approach. Here, we developed a fast reprogramming system capable of generating hCiPS cells in as few as 10 days.

Amyloid related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) are side effects of anti-Abeta immunotherapy, which are most frequent and associated with greater morbidity in ApoE4 individuals. ARIA are characterized by neurovascular inflammation, leading either to increased vascular permeability and edema (ARIA-E), or to more severe vascular damage and microhemorrhages (ARIA-H). The mechanisms by which Abeta immunotherapy leads to ARIA remain to be established but may involve overload of the cerebral microvasculature by Abeta released from amyloid plaques.

Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play multifaceted roles to precisely control expression of broad gene networks. These highly stable molecules are often accumulated in the mammalian brain and thought to serve as "memory molecules" that govern the long process of aging. Mounting evidence demonstrated circRNA dysregulation in the postmortem brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Extracting lithium from salt lakes requires ion-selective membranes with customizable nanochannels. However, it remains a major challenge to separate alkali cations due to their same valences and similar ionic radius. Inspired by the K channel of KcsA K, significant progress has been made in adjusting nanochannel size to control the ion selectivity dominated by alkali cations dehydration.
