    Targeting MYC dependency in ovarian cancer through inhibition of CDK7 and CDK12/13

    Mei Zeng, Nicholas P Kwiatkowski ... Nathanael S Gray
    A multi-transcriptional CDKs inhibitor suppresses MYC and induces regression of ovarian tumors, indicating that targeting CDK7, 12, 13 with THZ1 may be an effective approach for treating MYC-dependent malignancies.

    Structural basis of tubulin recruitment and assembly by microtubule polymerases with tumor overexpressed gene (TOG) domain arrays

    Stanley Nithianantham, Brian D Cook ... Jawdat Al-Bassam
    TOG (tumor overexpressed gene) domains organize then polymerize tubulins at microtubule plus ends.

    T-ALL leukemia stem cell 'stemness' is epigenetically controlled by the master regulator SPI1

    Haichuan Zhu, Liuzhen Zhang ... Hong Wu
    The identification of key determinants of LSC “stemness” and LSC differentiation that is reversible through an epigenetic mechanism may have considerable implications in understanding leukemia and designing effective therapies.

    Translesion polymerase kappa-dependent DNA synthesis underlies replication fork recovery

    Peter Tonzi, Yandong Yin ... Tony T Huang
    Translesion polymerase kappa promotes replication fork restart to maintain genome stability during conditions of nucleotide deprivation.

    ASH1-catalyzed H3K36 methylation drives gene repression and marks H3K27me2/3-competent chromatin

    Vincent T Bicocca, Tereza Ormsby ... Eric U Selker
    While SET-2 methylates histone H3K36 during transcription, ASH1 methylates this residue in repressed regions, is important for silencing, and can both positively and negatively influence methylation of histone H3K27.

    Targets and genomic constraints of ectopic Dnmt3b expression

    Yingying Zhang, Jocelyn Charlton ... Alexander Meissner
    Ectopic expression of Dnmt3b leads to wide-spread CpG island hypermethylation that is largely defined by chromatin state and has some distinct features when compared to the cancer methylome.

    Can Hamilton’s rule be violated?

    Matthijs van Veelen
    Hamilton's rule can be violated when costs and benefits of cooperation are defined using the counterfactual method, and when they depend on the cooperation of others.

    A novel mechanism of gland formation in zebrafish involving transdifferentiation of renal epithelial cells and live cell extrusion

    Richard W Naylor, Hao-Han G Chang ... Alan J Davidson
    A rare example of direct transdifferentiation is discovered in zebrafish in which kidney epithelial cells change into an endocrine gland and undergo live-cell extrusion from the renal tubule.

    Molecular mechanisms that stabilize short term synaptic plasticity during presynaptic homeostatic plasticity

    Jennifer M Ortega, Özgür Genç, Graeme W Davis
    Genetic and electrophysiological experiments define how homeostatic signaling stabilizes both the gain and short-term dynamic properties of neurotransmitter release, ensuring that synaptic information transfer remains robust to external perturbation.

    The RNA interactome of human telomerase RNA reveals a coding-independent role for a histone mRNA in telomere homeostasis

    Roland Ivanyi-Nagy, Syed Moiz Ahmed ... Peter Dröge
    A messenger RNA coding for the histone 1.2 protein negatively regulates telomere elongation by interacting with human telomerase RNA.
