Novel human models of the lung and intestine are described and validated as preclinical in vitro tools for predictive profiling of T-cell-bispecific antibodies with expected on-target off-tumor risk.
Selective activation of FZD7 signaling with an engineered WNT mimetic promotes early developmental programs, including endodermal lineage specification, in human pluripotent stem cells.
Through interactions with both ubiquitin units that emanate from a branch point in polyubiquitin, UCH37 recognizes and hydrolyzes branched chains to promote proteasome-mediated degradation upon proteolytic stresses.
Genetically fusing weakly homodimerizing proteins to the C-terminus of IgG antibodies to induce reversible catenation on a target surface greatly enhances antigen-binding avidity, offering a promising approach for a range of antibody applications.

Endoproteolytic cleavage of the ribosomal precursor protein FUBI-eS30 is required for efficient maturation of small ribosomal subunits in the cytoplasm of human cells and involves the nucleolar deubiquitinase USP36.
