The April 2026 cover of JBC depicts mitochondrial trafficking along axonal microtubules driven by Kinesin-1 motors. The BPA molecule (fluorescent pink) interacts with the Kinesin-1 motor domain (orange), interfering with the normal bidirectional transport system that maintains mitochondrial trafficking and energy homeostasis in neurons.

Researchers at @winshipcancer.emory.edu have developed a new proximity-labeling method to identify the proteins that interact with tau during aggregation, uncovering hundreds of tau-associated proteins linked to neurodegenerative disease. 🧠 Read about the findings: www.asbmb.org/asbmb-today/....

Catching tau in the act

Using a new proximity-labeling approach, researchers reveal how tangles of the brain-associated protein tau may disrupt RNA biology long before neurons die.

The protein phosphatase 2A-B56α complex regulates N-Myc degradation in neuroblastoma - Journal of Biological Chemistry www.jbc.org/article/S002... excited to share new research for our group identifying a novel approach to target a major driver of pediatric neuroblastoma

The protein phosphatase 2A-B56α complex regulates N-Myc degradation in neuroblastoma

High-risk neuroblastoma is one of the most common and deadliest pediatric solid tumors. Proliferation, differentiation, and treatment resistance have been linked to the amplification of MYCN. Although...
