- Genetic and stochastic influences upon tumor formation and tumor types in Li-Fraumeni mouse models
This study used mice heterozygous for Tp53 mutations with different genetic backgrounds to investigate the genetic or stochastic factors that modify the penetrance of tumor formation by Tp53 mutation.
- An atlas of human proximal epididymis reveals cell-specific functions and distinct roles for CFTR
A coordinated process of maturation in the lumen of the epididymis is required for sperm to fertilize an egg. A single cell atlas of the human proximal epididymis reveals key cell-specific functions, regional specialization, and two roles for CFTR.
- Proteostasis in dendritic cells is controlled by the PERK signaling axis independently of ATF4
Differentiated dendritic cells display an unusual activation of the integrated stress response, which is necessary for normal type-I Interferon production and cell migration.
- Predicting gene regulatory networks from cell atlases
Integrated single-cell gene regulatory network from three mouse cell atlases captures global and cell type–specific regulatory modules and crosstalk, important for cellular identity.
- IMiDs induce FAM83F degradation via an interaction with CK1α to attenuate Wnt signalling
IMiDs induce the degradation of the FAM83F–CK1α complex but no other FAM83–CK1α complexes, resulting in attenuation of Wnt signalling.
- FAM83F regulates canonical Wnt signalling through an interaction with CK1α
FAM83F directs CK1α to the plasma membrane, and through its association with CK1α, FAM83F mediates canonical Wnt signalling.
- Sustained Helicobacter pylori infection accelerates gastric dysplasia in a mouse model
Hp infection was found to alter metaplasia and accelerate dysplasia in mice. Thus, Hp can promote gastric preneoplastic progression, in addition to its known role in initiating chronic inflammation.
- Human G-MDSCs are neutrophils at distinct maturation stages promoting tumor growth in breast cancer
This study shows that immunosuppressive primary breast cancer patient–derived G-MDSCs (PMN-MDSCs) are neutrophils at a range of maturations stages, and provides in vivo evidence for that human G-MDSCs also promote tumor growth and myeloid immune cell exclusion.
- USP30 sets a trigger threshold for PINK1–PARKIN amplification of mitochondrial ubiquitylation
A new inhibitor of the deubiquitylase USP30, an actionable target relevant to Parkinson’s Disease, is introduced and characterised for parameters related to mitophagy.
- Polycomb mutant partially suppresses DNA hypomethylation–associated phenotypes in Arabidopsis
A mutation in Arabidopsis polycomb repressive complex 2 partially suppresses the transposon activity observed in a DNA methylation mutant, challenging expectations.
