    MicroRNA-146a acts as a guardian of the quality and longevity of hematopoietic stem cells in mice

    Jimmy L Zhao, Dinesh S Rao ... David Baltimore
    Chronic and excessive inflammation can lead to exhaustion of the supply of hematopoietic stem cells and to myeloid malignancies in mice, mimicking important aspects of the myelodysplastic syndrome found in humans.

    Pharmacological brake-release of mRNA translation enhances cognitive memory

    Carmela Sidrauski, Diego Acosta-Alvear ... Peter Walter
    A compound that prevents stressors such as UV light and viral infection from downregulating protein synthesis inside cells improves memory performance in mice.

    Phosphorylation-mediated PTEN conformational closure and deactivation revealed with protein semisynthesis

    David Bolduc, Meghdad Rahdar ... Philip Cole
    C-terminal phosphorylation of the lipid phosphatase PTEN drives a reduction in membrane affinity and leads to a more compact conformation that involves a C2 domain-tail interaction.

    Nutrient restriction enhances the proliferative potential of cells lacking the tumor suppressor PTEN in mitotic tissues

    Katarzyna Nowak, Gerhard Seisenbacher ... Hugo Stocker
    Nutrient limitation elicits differential responses in cells lacking the tumor suppressor PTEN and in normal cells, resulting in hyperplastic overgrowth of PTEN mutant tissue independent of additional mutations.

    Integrative genomic analysis of the human immune response to influenza vaccination

    Luis M Franco, Kristine L Bucasas ... Chad A Shaw
    By comparing gene expression in people before and after they received the influenza vaccine, researchers were able to identify genes that contribute to differences in individual responses to vaccination.

    A mammalian pseudogene lncRNA at the interface of inflammation and anti-inflammatory therapeutics

    Nicole A Rapicavoli, Kun Qu ... Howard Y Chang
    A long non-coding RNA regulates the expression of genes that encode proteins involved in the inflammatory response.

    Minor introns are embedded molecular switches regulated by highly unstable U6atac snRNA

    Ihab Younis, Kimberly Dittmar ... Gideon Dreyfuss
    Hundreds of cell growth and stress response genes are controlled by a rare small RNA component of an ancient splicing machinery, providing a raison d'être for its previously unexplained evolutionary conservation.

    Bax and Bak function as the outer membrane component of the mitochondrial permeability pore in regulating necrotic cell death in mice

    Jason Karch, Jennifer Q Kwong ... Jeffery D Molkentin
    The proteins Bax and Bak, which increase the permeability of the mitochondrial membrane during apoptosis, are also crucial for generating a mitochondrial membrane pore that is specifically involved in necrosis.
