Norovirus Co-opts NINJ1 for Selective NS1 Secretion
2026-08-21
Song et al. show that murine norovirus uses the host membrane-rupture factor NINJ1 to release the viral immune-modulatory protein NS1 through an unconventional secretion route. The study combines CRISPR screening, caspase-3 perturbation, microscopy, viral-protein mutagenesis, and mouse infection experiments to connect selective NS1 release with enteric infection.

HSP90 Regulation of RNA Foci in DM1
2026-08-17
A 2025 study used an unbiased small-molecule and RNA-FISH screen to identify HSP90 as a modifier of endogenous CUG-repeat RNA foci in Myotonic Dystrophy type 1. The work connects HSP90 to DMPK mRNA regulation through p-STAT3 in undifferentiated myoblasts, while showing that differentiation reverses the response and therefore strongly influences mechanistic interpretation.

Sulfamonomethoxine Toxicity in Aquatic Organisms
2026-08-15
Huang and colleagues evaluated the acute and chronic toxicity of sulfamonomethoxine across algae, cladocerans, and medaka, providing a cross-trophic assessment of an aquaculture-relevant antibiotic. The study found that microalgae were more sensitive than cladocerans, emphasizing the need to include primary producers when assessing antibiotic residues in aquatic systems.

Muscle-Derived BDNF Shapes Early NMJ Assembly
2026-08-14
The reference study shows that muscle-generated BDNF is not simply a diffusible trophic factor: it is trafficked to podosome-like structures, released in an activity- and calcium-dependent manner, and proteolytically processed to regulate early acetylcholine receptor clustering. By combining live-cell imaging, molecular perturbation, and skeletal muscle-specific knockout mice, the work connects local BDNF handling with the initial formation and nerve-dependent maturation of neuromuscular synapses.
