    Reactivation of a developmental Bmp2 signaling center is required for therapeutic control of the murine periosteal niche

    Valerie S Salazar, Luciane P Capelo ... Vicki Rosen
    A periosteal Bmp2 signaling center couples bone length to bone width during development and must be reactivated by clinical bone anabolic therapies to reduce fracture risk and accelerate fracture repair.

    The Drosophila ZAD zinc finger protein Kipferl guides Rhino to piRNA clusters

    Lisa Baumgartner, Dominik Handler ... Julius Brennecke
    Kipferl, a ZAD zinc finger protein from Drosophila, determines the chromatin binding specificity of the heterochromatin protein variant Rhino, defining piRNA clusters and preventing Rhino sequestration by selfish Satellite repeats.

    The transcription factor RUNX2 drives the generation of human NK cells and promotes tissue residency

    Sigrid Wahlen, Filip Matthijssens ... Georges Leclercq
    RUNX2 plays an important role in human NK cell biology by driving differentiation, inhibiting cytokine production, and inducing a tissue-resident phenotype, which has implications for improving NK cell therapy for cancer patients.

    SOX4 facilitates PGR protein stability and FOXO1 expression conducive for human endometrial decidualization

    Pinxiu Huang, Wenbo Deng ... Shuangbo Kong
    A biochemical approach shows that SOX4 guaranteed the PGR protein stability through repressing the ubiquitin E3 ligase HERC4, to make the stroma cell conducive for response to progesterone and decidualization.

    MEIS-mediated suppression of human prostate cancer growth and metastasis through HOXB13-dependent regulation of proteoglycans

    Calvin VanOpstall, Srikanth Perike ... Donald J Vander Griend
    The HOXB13 binding partner MEIS1 suppresses prostate cancer proliferation, invasion, and metastasis by promoting expression of the anti-oncogenic extracellular proteoglycan Decorin.
