Activity-dependent K+ hotspots selectively boost the dendritic excitability of neurons, acting as 'volume knobs'
An international collaboration between scientists from IMBB, University of Copenhagen in Denmark and University of Bordeaux in France brings forward the novel concept that activity-dependent changes in the extracellular potassium concentration create local dendritic hotspots that transiently and ...

Distinct trafficking routes of polarized and non-polarized membrane cargoes in Aspergillus nidulans
In a study published in eLIFE Diallinas team established a genetic system to show the existence of distinct parallel trafficking routes for polarized and non-polarized membrane proteins, initiating early upon exit from the ER and bypassing the Golgi. This work provides a paradigm shift in membran...

Seed longevity is controlled by metacaspases
IMBB researchers uncover the crucial role of a novel proteolytic pathway with metacaspases in maintaining protein homeostasis and lipid droplet function in seeds, processes which are vital for their longevity. Understanding these molecular mech...

Spermidine is vital for inducing autophagy and extending longevity during intermittent fasting
An international scientific collaboration between IMBB researchers, scientists from Paris Cité University in France, and the University of Graz in Austria reveals the conserved role of spermidine in regulating autophagy and extending lifespan during intermittent fasting.

Endonucleosis mediates internalization of cytoplasm into the nucleus
IMBB Researchers identified novel cellular survival mechanisms involving hyperploidization and endonucleosis, a membrane assisted internalization of cytoplasm into the nucleus. These cellular actions control genome instability caused by defective epigenetic regulation....

Reproductive status regulates the mitochondrial stress response
International collaboration between researchers at IMBB and University of Cologne reveals that germline reproductive signals impact the ability of somatic tissues to induce the mitochondrial unfolded protein response, highlighting the decline in reproductive capacity as a primary cause of proteos...

Cancer associated fibroblasts form immune synapses with T regulatory cells, promoting tumor expansion
Researchers found that cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) directly interact with T regulatory cells (Tregs), hampering Treg activation and proliferation, in a process affected by CAF autophagy. Their results suggest that disrupting CAF-Treg synapses could be a promi...

Transcription stress leads to paracrine senescence
IMBB researchers discovered that transcription stress at telomeres triggers the release of telomeric DNA fragments in the cytoplasm leading to a viral-like response and paracrine senescence.
