    The tardigrade damage suppressor protein binds to nucleosomes and protects DNA from hydroxyl radicals

    Carolina Chavez, Grisel Cruz-Becerra ... James T Kadonaga
    Dsup, a unique protein found only in tardigrades, is a nucleosome-binding protein that protects DNA from damage by hydroxyl radicals, such as those generated by ionizing radiation or oxidants.

    The NKCC1 antagonist bumetanide mitigates interneuronopathy associated with ethanol exposure in utero

    Alexander GJ Skorput, Stephanie M Lee ... Hermes H Yeh
    Prenatal ethanol exposure results in aberrant tangential migration by altering NKCC1-mediated chloride homeostasis that can be mitigated by bumetanide.

    Casein kinase 1 family proteins promote Slimb-dependent Expanded degradation

    Alexander D Fulford, Maxine V Holder ... Paulo S Ribeiro
    The tissue growth controlling Hippo signalling pathway is modulated by the activity of the Casein Kinase 1 family, which regulates the protein stability of the upstream Hippo pathway component Expanded.

    ENaC-mediated sodium influx exacerbates NLRP3-dependent inflammation in cystic fibrosis

    Thomas Scambler, Heledd H Jarosz-Griffiths ... Michael F McDermott
    Dysfunction and overexpression of ENaC-mediated sodium influx exacerbates activation of NLRP3-inflammasome mediated inflammation in cells with CF-associated mutations and is modulated by inhibition of these amiloride-sensitive sodium (Na+) channels.

    Activation of hedgehog signaling in mesenchymal stem cells induces cartilage and bone tumor formation via Wnt/β-Catenin

    Qi Deng, Ping Li ... Baojie Li
    Cartilage and bone tumors arise from chondrocyte or osteoblast progenitors but not differentiated cells or multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) via the IHH-Wnt/β-Catenin pathway.

    Cell-autonomous regulation of epithelial cell quiescence by calcium channel Trpv6

    Yi Xin, Allison Malick ... Cunming Duan
    Genetics, in vivo imaging, and unbiased chemical biology screens reveal that Trpv6 functions as a cellular quiescence regulator and delineates a Trpv6-mediated Ca2+ signaling pathway maintaining the quiescent state.
