The protein homeostasis (proteostasis) network (Balch et al, 2008), consisting of a collection of molecular chaperones, ...

The enteric nervous system (ENS), the largest division of autonomic nervous system, is a tantalizing frontier in neuroscience. With the advent of single-cell transcriptomics, the ENS has been ...

The activity of the cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor p27 is controlled by its concentration and subcellular localization. However, the mechanisms that regulate its intracellular transport are poorly ...

Temporal organization of tissue metabolism is important for maintaining nutrient and energy homeostasis in mammals. Autophagy is a conserved cellular pathway that is activated in response to nutrient ...

Each journal is staffed by professional editors who work in collaboration with one another and our international Editorial Advisory Boards of leading scientists. Please feel free to contact any of the ...

In E. coli, the Cascade complex alone is able to generate crRNA but requires Cas3 to achieve immunity against foreign DNA (Brouns et al, 2008). Hence, Cas3 appears to be a key protein of CRISPR system ...

The Dnmt3a DNA methyltransferase is essential for mammalian development and is responsible for the generation of genomic methylation patterns, which lead to transcriptional silencing. Here, we show ...

EMBO Reports was amongst the pioneers of the short scientific article: 25 years later, the format is needed more than ever.

Plants have evolved a multi‐layered system of defence responses that can be activated upon recognition of invading pathogens. One layer includes transmembrane receptors that recognize evolutionarily ...

Microvesicles (MVs) released into the brain microenvironment are emerging as a novel way of cell‐to‐cell communication. We have recently shown that microglia, the immune cells of the brain, shed MVs ...
