Caps it. Locks it. Bundles it.

​After 30 years of mystery, scientists have decoded how the protein Kaptin (KPTN) regulates the actin cytoskeleton!

By controlling filament growth, shape, and movement, KPTN is vital for cellular function.
​Crucially, this breakthrough sheds light on the mechanics behind neurological conditions like macrocephaly and epilepsy.

What keeps chronic gut inflammation alive?

New research uncovers how the CCL20–CCR6 signaling pathway reprograms immune cell metabolism, driving the formation of pathogenic Th17 cells that sustain inflammation in the intestine.

This discovery opens a promising avenue for developing targeted therapies for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and other autoimmune disorders by interrupting this harmful immune signaling pathway.
