    SOD1 is a synthetic-lethal target in PPM1D-mutant leukemia cells

    Linda Zhang, Joanne I Hsu ... Margaret A Goodell
    PPM1D-mutant leukemia cells exhibit a dysregulated redox landscape, a diminished response to oxidative stress, and rely on SOD1 for their survival.

    Human DECR1 is an androgen-repressed survival factor that regulates PUFA oxidation to protect prostate tumor cells from ferroptosis

    Zeyad D Nassar, Chui Yan Mah ... Lisa M Butler
    DECR1, a rate-limiting enzyme for polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) β-oxidation, is an androgen-repressed gene in prostate cancer cells that limits oxidative stress to promote cancer cell survival.

    Metformin protects trabecular meshwork against oxidative injury via activating integrin/ROCK signals

    Lijuan Xu, Xinyao Zhang ... Yuanbo Liang
    Metformin, which promotes the recovery of damaged trabecular meshwork, is a potential intraocular pressure-lowering drug.

    Hypoxia-inducible factor cell non-autonomously regulates C. elegans stress responses and behavior via a nuclear receptor

    Corinne L Pender, H Robert Horvitz
    The hypoxia-inducible factor HIF drives transcription of the gene cyp-36A1, which encodes a cytochrome P450 enzyme that acts via a putative intercellular signal to regulate the nuclear receptor NHR-46 and consequently stress resistance and behavior.

    Increased expression of heme-binding protein 1 early in Alzheimer's disease is linked to neurotoxicity

    Oleksandr Yagensky, Mahdokht Kohansal-Nodehi ... John JE Chua
    Increased levels of brain Hebp1 starting from the presymptomatic stage of Alzheimer’s disease contributes to progressive neuronal loss by triggering mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis in neurons exposed to elevated heme.

    Crosstalk between AML and stromal cells triggers acetate secretion through the metabolic rewiring of stromal cells

    Nuria Vilaplana-Lopera, Vincent Cuminetti ... Paloma Garcia
    Interplay between AML and stromal cells can initiate a mechanism involving gap junctions where ROS is transferred from cancer cells to stromal cells which then produce acetate which can in return be absorbed/utilised by the cancer cells.

    Caenorhabditis elegans processes sensory information to choose between freeloading and self-defense strategies

    Jodie A Schiffer, Francesco A Servello ... Javier Apfeld
    C. elegans nematodes use a sensory-neuronal circuit to determine whether to defend themselves from hydrogen peroxide attack or to freeload off orthologous protective defenses from bacteria in their surrounding environment.

    Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)5 ameliorates influenza infection via inhibition of EGFR signaling

    Lukasz Kedzierski, Michelle D Tate ... Sandra E Nicholson
    The intracellular SOCS5 protein has a unique and key role in restraining influenza A infection by regulating epidermal growth factor receptor signaling in airway epithelial cells.

    Divergent downstream biosynthetic pathways are supported by L-cysteine synthases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

    Mehak Zahoor Khan, Debbie M Hunt ... Vinay Kumar Nandicoori
    CysM and CysK2 play complementary and overlapping roles in Mtb's adaptation to environmental stress that are crucial for survival.

    A novel SH2 recognition mechanism recruits Spt6 to the doubly phosphorylated RNA polymerase II linker at sites of transcription

    Matthew A Sdano, James M Fulcher ... Christopher P Hill
    The tandem SH2 domains of Spt6 use novel mechanisms to bind unexpected phosphorylated serine and threonine residues in the RNA polymerase II linker to recruit Spt6 to sites of transcription and maintain repressive chromatin.
