- Rab11 endosomes and Pericentrin coordinate centrosome movement during pre-abscission in vivo
Cell division completes when the two daughter cells move their oldest centrosome towards the cytokinetic bridge, which is then cleaved during abscission. The GTPase, Rab11, and the centrosome protein, Pericentrin, work together to coordinate this movement.
- Spatial proteomics finds CD155 and Endophilin-A1 as mediators of growth and invasion in medulloblastoma
Spatial proteomics identifies MAP4K4 as a regulator of the plasma membrane-associated proteome and reveals CD155 and EndoA1 as mediators of proliferation and invasiveness in medulloblastoma cells.
- Meflin-positive cancer-associated fibroblasts enhance tumor response to immune checkpoint blockade
Meflin/ISLR is the marker of a cancer-associated fibroblast subset that enhances tumor response to immune checkpoint blockade therapy.
- Quantitative profiling of adaptation to cyclin E overproduction
Detailed analysis of individual human cells responding then adapting to the stress of chronic cyclin E overproduction, which inhibits DNA replication origin licensing by inducing premature S phase.
- Human BRCA pathogenic variants were originated during recent human history
Evolutionary origin of pathogenic variants in human BRCA1 and BRCA2.
- Nucleotide biosynthesis links glutathione metabolism to ferroptosis sensitivity
The tumor suppressor protein p53 inhibits ferroptosis by reducing the consumption of glutathione in nucleotide biosynthesis.
- Identification of human gene research articles with wrongly identified nucleotide sequences
This study describes Seek & Blastn analysis of targeted and journal corpora with manual results verification to identify human gene research articles with wrongly identified nucleotide sequence reagents.
- Retinoblastoma protein regulates carcinogen susceptibility at heterochromatic cancer driver loci
The retinoblastoma protein regulates mutagenic potential via control of UV-induced DNA lesion acquisition, thus revealing novel mechanisms that contribute to its tumor suppressor capabilities.
- Necrotic debris and STING exert therapeutically relevant effects on tumor cholesterol homeostasis
Necrotic debris and STING affect tumor cell growth by altering cholesterol homeostasis in opposing manner, revealing that modulation of cellular cholesterol load may help control tumor growth.
- Hierarchy of TGFβ/SMAD, Hippo/YAP/TAZ, and Wnt/β-catenin signaling in melanoma phenotype switching
TGFβ, YAP/TAZ, and canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling functionally interact in a hierarchical manner to induce the switching of melanoma cells from proliferative-to-invasive cell phenotype.
