- FIREWORKS: a bottom-up approach to integrative coessentiality network analysis
A tool to create bias-adjusted coessentiality networks reveals functional relationships between genes, context-specific rewiring of genetic networks, determinants of essentiality, and therapeutic targets for challenging proteins.
- Degradation of arouser by endosomal microautophagy is essential for adaptation to starvation in Drosophila
Drosophila EPS8-family protein Arouser is constitutively degraded by endosomal microautophagy; its stabilisation upon starvation is essential to the animal adaptation and survival.
- Requirement of DNMT1 to orchestrate epigenomic reprogramming for NPM-ALK–driven lymphomagenesis
NPM-ALK–driven lymphoma in mice is dependent on MYC signaling and epigenomic reprogramming via DNA methyltransferases, resulting in heterogenous DNA methylation signatures reminiscent of human lymphoma.
- 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.
- ESI mutagenesis: a one-step method for introducing mutations into bacterial artificial chromosomes
A simple and efficient recombineering-based method for introducing point mutations into bacterial artificial chromosomes using an artificial intron cassette.
- SCFCdc4 ubiquitin ligase regulates synaptonemal complex formation during meiosis
During meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair to form the synaptonemal complex (SC). This study showed that SCFCdc4 ubiquitin ligase is required for and works with Pch2 AAA+ ATPase for SC assembly.
- Meningeal lymphoid structures are activated under acute and chronic spinal cord pathologies
We found that acute insult to the central nervous system induces the formation of lymphocyte aggregates reminiscent of tertiary lymphoid structures within the spinal cord meninges. Unlike draining CNS-cervical lymph nodes, meningeal lymphocytes are locally activated during neuro-inflammtion and neurodegeneration.
- Loss of Jag1 cooperates with oncogenic Kras to induce pancreatic cystic neoplasms
Jag1 functions as a tumor suppressor in delaying pancreatic cancer precursor, while at the same time, promotes a phenotypic switch from benign cystic lesions to invasive carcinoma of the pancreas.
- Single-cell RNA sequencing of human breast tumour-infiltrating immune cells reveals a γδ T-cell subtype associated with good clinical outcome
Single-cell sequencing of γδ-T cells from human blood and tumours revealed novel markers of subtypes with distinct effector functions and a subtype that is associated with favourable clinical outcome.
- Wnt10b-GSK3β–dependent Wnt/STOP signaling prevents aneuploidy in human somatic cells
Autocrine Wnt10b signaling ensures proper mitotic microtubule polymerization and faithful chromosome segregation.
