CLCC1 and Herpesvirus Nuclear Egress
2026-08-16
A 2024 bioRxiv preprint identifies CLCC1 as an essential host factor for the membrane-fusion step of herpesvirus nuclear egress. The study connects CLCC1 loss with perinuclear capsid accumulation, reduced viral production, and defective nuclear pore complex insertion, suggesting a shared membrane-remodeling mechanism in infection and uninfected cells.

Nav1.5 Ser571 Phosphorylation in Cardiac Aging
2026-08-09
The 2024 reference study identifies Nav1.5 phosphorylation at Ser571 as a mechanistic link between increased late sodium current, delayed ventricular repolarization, and impaired diastolic function during cardiac aging. By combining phosphomimetic and phosphoablated mouse models with electrocardiography, ventricular myocyte electrophysiology, calcium imaging, and contractility measurements, the work shows that late sodium current is not only associated with aging myopathy but helps organize its electrical and mechanical phenotype.
