- Modeling fibrotic alveolar transitional cells with pluripotent stem cell-derived alveolar organoids
In vitro modeling of transitional alveolar epithelial cells in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis by the use of a fibrosis cocktail and alveolar organoids from induced pluripotent stem cells.
- UHRF1 is essential for proper cytoplasmic architecture and function of mouse oocytes and derived embryos
This study shows that the UHRF1 protein, an epigenetic factor, regulates cytoplasmic proteins in oocytes independently of gene expression and ensures normal preimplantation development.
- Inter and transgenerational impact of H3K4 methylation in neuronal homeostasis
The study highlights the importance of maintaining appropriate H3K4me3 levels to prevent negative impacts on nerve system homeostasis across generations.
- MAP4K3 inhibits Sirtuin-1 to repress the LKB1–AMPK pathway to promote amino acid-dependent activation of the mTORC1 complex
Our results reveal the existence of a novel signaling pathway linking amino acid satiety with MAP4K3-dependent suppression of SIRT1 to inactivate the repressive LKB1–AMPK pathway and thereby potently activate the mTORC1 complex to dictate the metabolic disposition of the cell.
- The CHARGE syndrome-associated protein FAM172A controls AGO2 nuclear import
AGO2 has long been known to shuttle between the cytosol and the nucleus of mammalian cells and this study helps to understand how this occurs.
- Origin and segregation of the human germline
Human primordial germ cells originate in peri-gastrulation embryos from the posterior epiblast precursors with an obligatory role for TFAP2A, which is redundant for contribution to the amnion.
