To regulate gene activity, proteasomes - waste disposal machines of cells - must enter the nucleus. IMP Researchers now show how the adaptor protein AKIRIN2 helps ferry this massive complex through the nuclear pore: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-69162-0

A research team co-led by Ron Pinhasi from the Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of Vienna has identified genetic variants in two skeletons more than 12,000 years old that indicate a rare hereditary growth disorder. The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
