    Control of cell death/survival balance by the MET dependence receptor

    Leslie Duplaquet, Catherine Leroy ... David Tulasne
    MET acts as a dependence receptor in vivo by promoting hepatocyte apoptosis, a response induced by a caspase generated fragment able to favor calcium exchange between endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria.

    Single-cell RNA sequencing and lineage tracing confirm mesenchyme to epithelial transformation (MET) contributes to repair of the endometrium at menstruation

    Phoebe M Kirkwood, Douglas A Gibson ... Philippa TK Saunders
    In a mouse model of menstruation stromal cells respond to breakdown of the tissue by changing their identity to become epithelial cells that are incorporated into the luminal epithelium which is rapidly 'healed' without scarring.

    Hepatocyte Growth Factor-mediated satellite cells niche perturbation promotes development of distinct sarcoma subtypes

    Deborah Morena, Nicola Maestro ... Riccardo Taulli
    The functional relevance of stem cell niche perturbation in sarcomagenesis is defined and the mouse model presented provides a rationale for the use of combination therapy for the treatment of genetically heterogeneous sarcomas.

    Conserved regulatory motifs in the juxtamembrane domain and kinase N-lobe revealed through deep mutational scanning of the MET receptor tyrosine kinase domain

    Gabriella O Estevam, Edmond M Linossi ... James S Fraser
    Deep mutational scanning reveals interactions in the MET kinase domain that are critical for regulation and cancer-related signaling.

    Recording and classifying MET receptor mutations in cancers

    Célia Guérin, David Tulasne
    Classification of MET mutations allows a better understanding of sensitivity and resistance to targeted therapies used in cancer.

    C. elegans orthologs MUT-7/CeWRN-1 of Werner syndrome protein regulate neuronal plasticity

    Tsung-Yuan Hsu, Bo Zhang ... Bi-Tzen Juang
    The olfactory learning of Caenorhabditis elegans shows that the exonuclease and helicase domains of human Werner syndrome protein (WRN) coordinately regulate the biogenesis of small interfering RNAs to promote neuronal plasticity.

    Cyclin A/Cdk1 modulates Plk1 activity in prometaphase to regulate kinetochore-microtubule attachment stability

    Ana Maria G Dumitru, Scott F Rusin ... Duane A Compton
    Quantitative phosphoproteomics defines the substrates for Cyclin A/Cdk1 kinase during early mitosis and follow up studies validate that one identified substrate, MYPT1, influences the stability of k-MT attachments by regulating Plk1.

    A tudor domain protein, SIMR-1, promotes siRNA production at piRNA-targeted mRNAs in C. elegans

    Kevin I Manage, Alicia K Rogers ... Carolyn Marie Phillips
    SIMR-1 acts downstream of the piRNA pathway to promote siRNA amplification by the Mutator complex and localizes to perinuclear foci distinct from Mutator foci, P granules and Z granules.

    Risk of motor vehicle collisions after methadone use

    Ya-Hui Yang, Pei-Shan Ho ... Hung-Yi Chuang
    Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) can alleviate opioid dependence, however, drivers receiving MMT were at high risk of motor vehicle collisions in the present study, particularly the first 90 days of MMT.

    Fibroblast-derived Hgf controls recruitment and expansion of muscle during morphogenesis of the mammalian diaphragm

    Elizabeth M Sefton, Mirialys Gallardo ... Gabrielle Kardon
    HGF derived from fibroblasts is critical for complete muscularization of the mammalian diaphragm, and loss-of-function experiments reveal that partial muscularization of the diaphragm is not sufficient to cause congenital diaphragmatic hernias.
