Altering microtubule dynamics is synergistically toxic with spindle assembly checkpoint inhibitionChromosomal instability (CIN) is a hallmark feature of cancer cells. In this study, Schukken and colleagues screen for compounds that selectively target CIN cells and identify an inhibitor of Src kinase to be selectively toxic for CIN cells.
Constitutive CD8 expression drives innate CD8+ T-cell differentiation via induction of iNKT2 cellsConstitutive CD8 expression induces differentiation of innate memory-like CD8+ thymocytes in both cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic manner, the latter being accomplished by an increase in the iNKT2 subset.
Virus-induced transposable element expression up-regulation in human and mouse host cellsGenome-wide transposon expression up-regulation in host cells regardless of virus, species, and host cell tissue types occurs early during viral infection and likely contributes to promoting the host innate immune response.
Nup93 regulates breast tumor growth by modulating cell proliferation and actin cytoskeleton remodelingThis study highlights the role of Nup93-chromatin interactions in driving triple-negative breast cancer propagation through modulation of the actin cytoskeleton, cell migration and proliferation.
Laminin is the ECM niche for trophoblast stem cellsLaminin functions as an ECM niche factor for trophoblast stem cells and secures trophoblast stem cell expansion through its interactions with integrin.
TRAP1 chaperone protein mutations and autoinflammationThis study identifies patients with autoinflammation and mutations affecting the mitochondrial/ER protein chaperone TRAP1, either alone or digenic, with MEFV mutation possibly synergizing to produce severe disease. TRAP1 mutations lead to increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and may contribute to autoinflammation.
