Preprints:
Biochemistry/metabolism
Valosin-containing Protein is Cargo in Amyloid Precursor Protein Extracellular Vesicles
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.20.633888v1
This preprint identifies VCP, an autophagy-related protein, as cargo in amyloid-containing extracellular vesicles. Both VCP and amyloid proteins are associated with neurodegeneration. The authors suggest that these extracellular vesicles may have a new role in clearance of protein aggregates.

Structure and function of the EDEM:PDI ERAD checkpoint complex
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.29.635535v1
This preprint provides the first structural information and deeper mechanistic insights into the recognition of misfolded glycoproteins in the ER by the EDEM:PDI checkpoint protein complex.
Picked by: Barbora Knotkova
Sexually dimorphic ATF4 expression in the fat confers female stress tolerance in Drosophila melanogaster
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.12.27.630478v1
This preprint looks at the basis of sexual dimorphism in fat tissue metabolism, determining that dimorphic expression of transcription factor ATF4 is responsible and confers higher tolerance to nutrient stress in females. Sexual dimorphism is an often overlooked variable and this preprint demonstrates, especially in metabolic studies, that researchers should be aware of its potential influence.

Cell migration
Fast adaptation of Myosin II activity to confinement sustains neutrophil migration in capillaries
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.08.631737v1
This preprint describes neutrophils under confinement dynamically adapting their actomyosin cytoskeleton within seconds which drives their fast migration in capillaries. These cytoskeleton changes were reversible, rapid, and independent from the confinement imposed on these cells. These findings provide crucial insights into autonomous mechanisms that inhibit tissue damage upon inflammation.

Optogenetic control of a GEF of RhoA uncovers a signaling switch from retraction to protrusion
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.09.07.556666v4
This preprint identifies a single protein (RhoGEF) that can control opposing cell behaviors—protrusion or retraction—based on its concentration in the cell. While low levels cause retraction and high levels trigger protrusion. This switch within RhoGEF is controlled by the dynamics of Cdc42 activation and RhoA sequestration.

CD44 and Ezrin restrict EGF receptor mobility to generate a novel spatial arrangement of cytoskeletal signaling modules driving bleb-based migration
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.12.31.630838v1
This paper is interesting because it reveals that in confined, non-adhesive environments, metastatic melanoma cells use a unique rear-to-front EGFR/PI3K signaling gradient, established by CD44 and ERM proteins restricting EGFR mobility, to drive stable bleb-based migration.

Cell organelles and organisation
Centriole Loss in Embryonic Development Disrupts Axonal Pathfinding and Muscle Integrity
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.26.634909v1
Despite being the major microtubule (MTs) nucleator in dividing cells, centrosomes are less required in differentiated cells, with MTs often arising non-centrosomally. Here, the authors confirm that nucleation from centrosomes is needed for correct axonal pathfinding.
Picked by: Matthew Davies
Protein Kinase C positively regulates peroxisome biogenesis by promoting peroxisome-endoplasmic reticulum interaction
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.21.634043v1
This preprint helps to resolve some of the obscurity that still surrounds peroxisomes and links their biogenesis to Protein kinase C signalling.

Redistribution of proteasomes through diffusion and cytoskeleton-dependent mechanisms upon stress induced by protein aggregates
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/487702v2
This preprint uncovers differences in proteasomal distribution and movement under different cellular conditions including proteotoxic stress and depolarisation. It is suggested that these differences may influence rate of protein aggregate degradation.
Picked by: Matthew Davies
Giant KASH proteins and ribosomes synergistically establish cytoplasmic biophysical properties in vivo
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.10.632479v1
This preprint uses a novel approach to study cytoplasmic biophysical properties on C. elegans. The study employs genetically encoded multimeric nanoparticles (GEMs) as rheological tools directly within the living organism. This enables the observation of cytoplasmic properties in their natural environment, avoiding potential alterations introduced by cell isolation and culture.

MISO Regulates Mitochondria Dynamics and mtDNA Homeostasis by Establishing Inner Membrane Subdomains
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.05.631328v1
This preprint describes a novel mitochondrial organising protein called MISO. Through oligomerisation, MISO forms subdomains of the inner mitochondrial membrane which recruit mtDNA, promote fission at the periphery of the mitochondrial network and are associated with mitophagy.
Picked by: Barbora Knotkova
Cell signalling and mechanosensing
Mitochondrial Ca2+ flickers on endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondrial contact sites to suppress store-operated Ca2+ entry
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.17.633482v1
In this preprint the authors show that calcium flickering at ER-mitochondria contact sites does not lower ER calcium levels through transfer of calcium from the ER to mitochondria, but via decrease of calcium uptake by store-operated calcium entry.
Picked by: Barbora Knotkova
Matrix stiffness modulated release of spheroid-derived extracellular vesicles and discovery of Piezo1 cargo
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.13.632826v1
This preprint is relevant because it investigates how extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness affects the release and composition of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from cancer cells . It also shows that EVs carry parental molecular cargo, including mechanosensitive Piezo1.
Picked by: Felipe Del Valle Batalla
Genetically encoded mechano-sensors with versatile readouts and compact size
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.16.633409v1
A new kind of tension sensor using coiled-coil protein domains. The length of the domain determines the force sensitivity, making them tuneable depending on the experimental requirements and expectations.

Tissue-dependent mechanosensing by cells derived from human tumors
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.11.632563v1
Not all tumors are the same! This preprint tests how the response of cancerous cells to different extracellular environments (mechanical and chemical) depends on where these cells originate from, i.e., their native tissue type. This has strong implications for the metastatic potential of tumors in different tissues.
Picked by: Girish Kale
Linking Molecular Tension and Cellular Tractions: A Multiscale Approach to Focal Adhesion Mechanics
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.09.632081v1
This preprint links tension measurements using (intra-cellular) FRET-based tension probes and (extra-cellular) traction exerted by the cells.
Picked by: Girish Kale
Fibroblast contractility drives network reorganization and epithelial proliferation in intestinal polyposis
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.08.632004v1
This study identifies fibroblasts, not epithelial cells, as the first regulator of epithelial dysregulation implicated in polyposis disease. A stepwise molecular mechanism delineates how fibroblast signaling and cell mechanics relate to epithelial homeostasis and offers novel understandings of the commencement of the disease and possible therapeutic targets.
Picked by: Vibha Singh
Genetics/gene expression
Evidence for increased stress resistance due to polyploidy from synthetic autotetraploid Caenorhabditis elegans
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.06.28.546823v4
This preprint looks at the evolutionary advantage of randomly-occurring whole genome duplication (WGD). This is actually a common event resulting in another copy of the entire genome being present in the nucleus. Here, the authors show that induced WGD in C elegans gives increased stress resistance under cold conditions, causing decreased induction of the zip-10 cold-activated cell death programme.

Peer Review in Biomedical Sciences
Communication of scientific knowledge has changed dramatically in recent decades and the public perception of scientific discoveries depends on the peer review process of articles published in scientific journals. Preprints are key vehicles for the dissemination of scientific discoveries, but they are still not properly recognized by the scientific community since peer review is very limited. On the other hand, peer review is very heterogeneous and a fundamental aspect to improve it is to train young scientists on how to think critically and how to evaluate scientific knowledge in a professional way. Thus, this course aims to: i) train students on how to perform peer review of scientific manuscripts in a professional manner; ii) develop students' critical thinking; iii) contribute to the appreciation of preprints as important vehicles for the dissemination of scientific knowledge without restrictions; iv) contribute to the development of students' curricula, as their opinions will be published and indexed on the preLights platform. The evaluations will be based on qualitative analyses of the oral presentations of preprints in the field of biomedical sciences deposited in the bioRxiv server, of the critical reports written by the students, as well as of the participation of the students during the preprints discussions.
