AI Article Synopsis

  • Timing when we eat is really important for staying healthy, especially for people who have obesity.
  • A new study with mice shows that the body's internal clock, especially in fat cells, can affect how we metabolize food.
  • Eating high-fat foods at the right time can help with burning energy better and staying healthier.

Article Abstract

The timing of food intake is vital for metabolic health in obesity. A recent study in mice from Hepler et al. in Science shows the importance of the adipocyte circadian clock in metabolic health, highlighting the creatine pathway and thermogenesis with the alignment of the timing of high-fat feeding.

Confined cell migration along extracellular matrix space in vivo.

Collective migration of cancer cells is often interpreted using concepts derived from the physics of active matter, but the experimental evidence is mostly restricted to observations made in vitro. Here, we study collective invasion of metastatic cancer cells injected into the mouse deep dermis using intravital multiphoton microscopy combined with a skin window technique and three-dimensional quantitative image analysis. We observe a multicellular but low-cohesive migration mode characterized by rotational patterns which self-organize into antiparallel persistent tracks with orientational nematic order.

Genesis and regulation of C-terminal cyclic imides from protein damage.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

January 2025

Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138.

C-Terminal cyclic imides are posttranslational modifications that can arise from spontaneous intramolecular cleavage of asparagine or glutamine residues resulting in a form of irreversible protein damage. These protein damage events are recognized and removed by the E3 ligase substrate adapter cereblon (CRBN), indicating that these aging-related modifications may require cellular quality control mechanisms to prevent deleterious effects. However, the factors that determine protein or peptide susceptibility to C-terminal cyclic imide formation or their effect on protein stability have not been explored in detail.

In species with genetic sex determination (GSD), the sex identity of the soma determines germ cell fate. For example, in mice, XY germ cells that enter an ovary differentiate as oogonia, whereas XX germ cells that enter a testis initiate differentiation as spermatogonia. However, numerous species lack a GSD system and instead display temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD).

Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of proteins play critical roles in regulating many cellular events. Antibodies targeting site-specific PTMs are essential tools for detecting and enriching PTMs at sites of interest. However, fundamental difficulties in molecular recognition of both PTM and surrounding peptide sequence have hindered the efficient generation of highly sequence-specific anti-PTM antibodies.
