Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (4th edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2983 more
- 08 Feb 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a set of guidelines for investigators to select and interpret methods to examine autophagy and related processes, and for reviewers to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of reports that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Type I collagen is thermally unstable at body temperature.

TL;DR: The data support an earlier hypothesis that in fibers collagen helices may melt and refold locally when needed, giving fibers their strength and elasticity and argue that initial microunfolding of their least stable domains would trigger self-assembly of fibers where the helices are protected from complete unfolding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prolyl 3-hydroxylase 1 deficiency causes a recessive metabolic bone disorder resembling lethal/severe osteogenesis imperfecta

TL;DR: The first five cases of a new recessive bone disorder resulting from null LEPRE1 alleles are presented; its phenotype overlaps with lethal/severe osteogenesis imperfecta but has distinctive features and a mutant allele from West Africa occurs in four of five cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and interactions of biological helices

TL;DR: The present article focuses on the most important and interesting aspects of the physics of structured macromolecules, highlighting various manifestations of the helical motif in their structure, elasticity, interactions with counterions, aggregation, and polyand mesomorphic transitions.
