     Crosstalk between AML and stromal cells triggers acetate secretion through the metabolic rewiring of stromal cells

     Nuria Vilaplana-Lopera, Vincent Cuminetti ... Paloma Garcia

     Interplay between AML and stromal cells can initiate a mechanism involving gap junctions where ROS is transferred from cancer cells to stromal cells which then produce acetate which can in return be absorbed/utilised by the cancer cells.

     Brain atlas for glycoprotein hormone receptors at single-transcript level

     Vitaly Ryu, Anisa Gumerova ... Mone Zaidi

     The most comprehensive neuroanatomical atlas on the expression of three glycoprotein hormone receptors, namely, TSHRs, LHCGRs, and FSHRs, was mapped using RNAscope, a technology that allows the detection of mRNA at single-transcript level.

     Ait1 regulates TORC1 signaling and localization in budding yeast

     Ryan L Wallace, Eric Lu ... Andrew P Capaldi

     The budding yeast gained a novel regulator of TORC1 signaling, called Ait1, 150–200 million years ago, around the same time they lost functional Rheb and Tsc1/2.

     Most cancers carry a substantial deleterious load due to Hill-Robertson interference

     Susanne Tilk, Svyatoslav Tkachenko ... Christopher D McFarland

     The absence of negative selection observed in most cancer genomes can be explained by the intrinsic genome-wide linkage in somatic evolution and creates a substantial proteotoxic load.
