A novel synthetic DNA cassette of CTCF-binding sites combined with the drug-controllable induction system of heterochromatin enabled switchable blocking of chromatin conformation and gene-enhancer interaction.
SDH-null cancer cells decrease mitochondrial complex I to drive rewired aspartate synthesis through reductive carboxylation and pyruvate carboxylase, supporting cell proliferation and tumor growth.

In medaka fish, the reduction of cystic proliferation of germ stem cells declines gametogenesis, reproduction success, and male sexual behavior, with a decrease of mating vigor.
Targeted therapies induce an aberrant fucosylation of complex tumor secretomes stimulating the expansion of minority drug-resistant clones and promoting therapy resistance.
J Ignacio Gutierrez, Gregory P Brittingham ... Liam J Holt
A combination of single-cell analysis, genomics, and simulations shows that a glutamine-rich low-complexity sequence in the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex senses transient intracellular acidification as a signal for cells to switch their global transcriptional program.
Convergent transcription and stalling of transcription are enriched at DNA breakpoints found in acute lymphoblastic leukemia and associate with DNA structures and sequences that mediate genetic instability.
Sara Genovese, Raphaël Clément ... Cédric Maurange
About twenty temporal patterning genes are identified that drive an irreversible differentiation trajectory governing the heterogeneity and proliferative properties of cells in neural tumors with an early developmental origin.
Forward genetic screens define a novel genetic landscape by which diverse, unrelated autism risk genes may converge to commonly affect the robustness of synaptic transmission.
