HCN4 S4–S5 Motif Couples Heat to Heart Rate
2026-08-12
The reference study identifies a conserved M407/Y409 motif in the HCN4 S4–S5 linker as a critical molecular element coupling temperature to sinoatrial pacemaker activity. By combining computational modeling, mutagenesis, electrophysiology, and genetically modified mice, the authors show that this motif is required for both heat- and cAMP-dependent HCN4 activation and for physiological heart-rate acceleration during heating.

Sulfamonomethoxine in Azumiobodo hoyamushi Control
2026-08-12
The reference study systematically compared 20 drugs against Azumiobodo hoyamushi, the protozoan associated with soft tunic syndrome in cultured ascidians. Sulfamonomethoxine showed weak in vitro activity at the tested conditions, illustrating why empirical parasite-killing assays are essential before adapting an established veterinary or aquaculture compound to a new host–pathogen system.
