    Uev1A counteracts oncogenic Ras stimuli in both polyploid and diploid cells

    Qi Zhang, Yunfeng Wang ... Shaowei Zhao
    Uev1A and APC/C degrade CycA to counteract oncogenic Ras, thereby protecting against cell death in polyploid Drosophila nurse cells and suppressing overgrowth in diploid germline and human colorectal tumor cells.

    Blocking SHP2 benefits FGFR2 inhibitor and overcomes its resistance in FGFR2-amplified gastric cancer

    Yue Zhang, Hanbing Wang ... Yue Wang
    Dual blocking SHP2 and FGFR2 can not only promote the targeted tumor-killing effects and overcome FGFR2 inhibitor resistance caused by feedback activation, but also activate T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity.

    p53-induced RNA-binding protein ZMAT3 inhibits transcription of a hexokinase to suppress mitochondrial respiration in human cancer cells

    Ravi Kumar, Simon Couly ... Ashish Lal
    Global proteomics and functional analyses reveal that p53-induced ZMAT3 suppresses mitochondrial respiration by inhibiting transcription of a hexokinase, uncovering a role for ZMAT3 in transcription.
