He/Him/His. Views are my own.
All 3 studies converge on the role of NUDT5-PPAT interaction in regulating nucleotide metabolism. A true testament to collaborative spirit and independent validation in science!

Looks like NUDT5 is having its time in the spotlight!

Check out these two complimentary studies published last week in @science.org.

NUDT5 regulates purine metabolism and thiopurine sensitivity by interacting with PPAT
Cells generate purine nucleotides through de novo purine biosynthesis (DNPB) and purine salvage. Purine salvage represses DNPB to prevent excessive purine nucleotide synthesis through mechanisms that ...

How interesting! I saw a similar phenotype when treating healthy mesenchymal stem cells with TGF‑β. Within 5 min, mitochondrial network that initially extended to the membrane fragmented and clustered around the nucleus. I still don’t know why! Is TGF‑β implicated in the pathogenesis of psychosis?

This study stands out in a literature dominated by observational studies, short-term trials and a limited selection of sweeteners and sweetness enhancers.
