Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Uncovering a New Role for KSR1 in Hippo Signaling
Our study began with a simple question: could KSR1 influence Hippo signaling? Unexpected interactions with MST1, LATS1, and YAP revealed KSR1 as a dynamic scaffold that switches between MAPK and Hippo pathways, reshaping growth-control networks.
Cardiac lymphatics in Heart Failure
Molecular profiling of cardiac lymphatics in health and disease reveals potential new targets to improve lymphatic drainage in the heart
Hydrogel–elastomer-based conductive nanomembranes for soft bioelectronics
With a total thickness of 350 nm, THIN remains structurally hard and self-supportive, yet upon hydration immediately self-adapts to microscopic topologies and directly integrates with living organisms, thereby bypassing the limitations of previous approaches.
