- Correction: The coenzyme A precursor pantethine enhances antitumor immunity in sarcoma
VitB5 level becomes limiting in sarcomas. It is regulated by the pantetheinase activity of VNN1. VNN1 expression in sarcomas is associated with better prognosis and immune infiltration. In mice, complementation with pantethine, a vitB5 precursor, boosts antitumor immunity.
- Common analysis of direct RNA sequencinG CUrrently leads to misidentification of m5C at GCU motifs
Published predictions of 5-methylcytosine at GCU sites inferred from direct RNA sequencing and the Tombo Alternative Model should be reconsidered unless further validated with orthogonal methods.
- Analysis of the indispensable RAD51 cofactor BRCA2 in Naganishia liquefaciens, a Basidiomycota yeast
Identification of the BRCA2 homolog in the Basidiomycota yeast Naganishia liquefaciens reveals the general attributes of fungal BRCA2 and its essential role in Rad51-mediated homologous recombination.
- RNA helicase EIF4A1-mediated translation is essential for the GC response
Conditional mouse knock-out models show that EIF4A1, but not its cofactors EIF4B or EIF4H, is essential in B cells for their development, the GC response, and increased translation after activation.
- A dual-targeted drug inhibits cardiac ryanodine receptor Ca2+ leak but activates SERCA2a Ca2+ uptake
Our study identified a first multi-targeted compound (GM1869) inhibiting RyR2-mediated Ca2+ leak together with activating SERCA2a function that may represent a critical breakthrough for treatment of diastolic Ca2+ leak in heart failure.
- Endothelial cells adopt a pro-reparative immune responsive signature during cardiac injury
scRNA-seq uncovers an endothelial cell (EC) subpopulation with immune responsive signatures in cardiac injury. Profiling of human heart failure samples reveals EC-specific immune responsive signatures in adult and pediatric heart failure. ECs can adopt immune responsive signatures during cardiac stress.
