    Epistatic mutations in PUMA BH3 drive an alternate binding mode to potently and selectively inhibit anti-apoptotic Bfl-1

    Justin M Jenson, Jeremy A Ryan ... Amy E Keating
    Short peptides that bind tightly to anti-apoptotic protein Bfl-1 but not other Bcl-2 family members provide a tool for diagnosing cancer cell survival mechanisms and a lead for developing new therapeutics.

    TNFR1-dependent cell death drives inflammation in Sharpin-deficient mice

    James A Rickard, Holly Anderton ... John Silke
    Skin inflammation in Sharpin-deficient mice is primarily due to TNFR1-dependent apoptosis, but necroptosis appears to play a bigger role in inflammation of internal organs.

    Neuronal apoptosis drives remodeling states of microglia and shifts in survival pathway dependence

    Sarah Rose Anderson, Jacqueline M Roberts ... Monica L Vetter
    In postnatal retina, neuronal apoptosis promotes a spectrum of microglial transcriptional states with varied dependence on CSF1R; TAM receptor Mer and complement receptor 3 mediate phagocytosis of dying neurons while altered CSF1R dependence requires Axl.

    Yap1 safeguards mouse embryonic stem cells from excessive apoptosis during differentiation

    Lucy LeBlanc, Bum-Kyu Lee ... Jonghwan Kim
    During ES cell differentiation, Yap1 directly regulates apoptosis-related genes like Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 to attenuate apoptosis and promote cell survival to allow for successful cell fate changes.

    Single-cell dynamics of pannexin-1-facilitated programmed ATP loss during apoptosis

    Hiromi Imamura, Shuichiro Sakamoto ... Akira Kakizuka
    Cleavage of pannexin-1 channel by caspases facilitates the loss of intracellular ATP level and attenuates glycolytic metabolism of apoptotic cells.

    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.

    Negative regulation of G2-M by ATR (mei-41)/Chk1(Grapes) facilitates tracheoblast growth and tracheal hypertrophy in Drosophila

    Amrutha Kizhedathu, Archit V Bagul, Arjun Guha
    ATR/Chk1 contribute to G2 arrest in developing tracheoblasts, and arrest in G2 facilitates cellular and hypertrophic organ growth.

    Vertical transmission of maternal DNA through extracellular vesicles associates with altered embryo bioenergetics during the periconception period

    David Bolumar, Javier Moncayo-Arlandi ... Felipe Vilella
    In vitro analyses reveal how vertical DNA transmission from the mother to the pre-implantation embryo via endometrial extracellular vesicles can impact embryo bioenergetics.

    A phosphorylation of RIPK3 kinase initiates an intracellular apoptotic pathway that promotes prostaglandin-induced corpus luteum regression

    Dianrong Li, Jie Chen ... Xiaodong Wang
    A phosphorylation of receptor interacting RIPK3 switches its pro-necroptosis function to apoptosis that promotes luteal regression which induced by Prostaglandin F2alpha.

    Confined migration promotes cancer metastasis through resistance to anoikis and increased invasiveness

    Deborah Fanfone, Zhichong Wu ... Gabriel Ichim
    A biomechanical approach inducing confined cell migration reveals that mechanical stress has a profound effect on cancer cell survival.
