Contact sites between both mitochondrial membranes play a predominant role in the transport of nuclear-coded precursor proteins into mitochondria. The characterization of contact sites was greatly advanced by the reversible accumulation of precursor proteins in transit (translocation intermediates). It was found that the sites are saturable, apparently contain proteinaceous components and mediate extensive unfolding of the polypeptide chain in translocation. Some components of mitochondrial contact sites are currently being identified.

Background: Vaccine granulomas are a common (0.3-1%) adverse event (AE) of (accidentally) subcutaneously administered vaccines and specific immunotherapies containing aluminum conjugates. The clinical symptoms with persistent itching subcutaneous nodules, predominantly affect infants and young children on the lateral thigh.

Figure-eight macrocycles represent a fascinating class of π-conjugated units characterized by unique aesthetics and non-contact molecular crossing at the center. Despite progress in synthesis over the past century, research into inorganic, organic, and polymeric figure-eight materials remains in its infancy. Here we report the first examples of figure-eight covalent organic frameworks by condensing figure-eight knots to create extended porous figure-eight π architectures.

Tissue-resident memory CD8 T (T) cells provide protection from infection at barrier sites. In the small intestine, T cells are found in at least two distinct subpopulations: one with higher expression of effector molecules and another with greater memory potential. However, the origins of this diversity remain unknown.

Phosphorylation plays a crucial role in the cellular response to radiation and cancer therapies, yet phosphoproteomics studies in planarians remain underexplored despite the organism's remarkable regenerative capacities. This study utilized advanced ion mobility mass spectrometry for 4D-label-free quantitative proteomics to identify phosphorylation sites associated with irradiation in planarians. A total of 33,284 phosphorylation sites from 15,505 phosphorylated peptides and 4710 unique phosphoproteins were identified.

Molten salt thermal treatment of solid waste is a promising way for energy recovery and pollutant removal. However, the migration of nitrogen during pyrolysis of waste tires poses a challenge for cleaner production. This study investigated nitrogen conversion pathways during waste tires pyrolysis using a binary NaOH-NaCO salt at 425, 500, and 575 °C.
