    The ESRP1-GPR137 axis contributes to intestinal pathogenesis

    Lukas Franz Mager, Viktor Hendrik Koelzer ... Philippe Krebs
    ESRP1 is central to intestinal barrier integrity in mice and humans and alterations in ESRP1 function or expression contribute to intestinal pathology, partly through modified expression of ESRP1-specific GPR137 isoforms.

    Many si/shRNAs can kill cancer cells by targeting multiple survival genes through an off-target mechanism

    William Putzbach, Quan Q Gao ... Marcus E Peter
    Loading of CD95 and CD95L-derived sequences into the RNA-induced silencing complex elicits a distinct form of RNAi-mediated cell death of cancer cells that results from the targeting of multiple survival genes.

    Daam2 driven degradation of VHL promotes gliomagenesis

    Wenyi Zhu, Saritha Krishna ... Benjamin Deneen
    The glial developmental factor, Daam2, promotes glioma tumorigenesis by degrading the VHL tumor suppressor, illustrating how dysregulation of gliogenic factors can impact tumor suppressor activity and promote glioma tumorigenesis.

    Co-targeting the tumor endothelium and P-selectin-expressing glioblastoma cells leads to a remarkable therapeutic outcome

    Shiran Ferber, Galia Tiram ... Ronit Satchi-Fainaro
    Treatment with precision nanomedicine in combination with an anti-angiogenic peptide enhance anti-tumor efficacy while minimizing toxicities in a pre-clinical glioblastoma model, making this approach a promising and important therapeutic alternative for patients.

    Development of Bag-1L as a therapeutic target in androgen receptor-dependent prostate cancer

    Laura Cato, Antje Neeb ... Myles Brown
    Targeting the activation of the androgen receptor N-terminal domain by the cochaperone Bag-1L provides a new approach for inhibiting androgen receptor function to treat prostate cancer.

    Activation of the NRF2 antioxidant program generates an imbalance in central carbon metabolism in cancer

    Volkan I Sayin, Sarah E LeBoeuf ... Thales Papagiannakopoulos
    Activation of the NRF2 antioxidant program leads to an imbalance in central carbon metabolism and sensitizes cancers to glutaminase inhibition.

    Tumor-promoting function of apoptotic caspases by an amplification loop involving ROS, macrophages and JNK in Drosophila

    Ernesto Pérez, Jillian L Lindblad, Andreas Bergmann
    The oncogenic RasV12 keeps cells mutant for the tumor suppressor scribble in an undead-like condition, which is required for an amplification loop that promotes tumorigenesis.

    A comprehensive analysis of coregulator recruitment, androgen receptor function and gene expression in prostate cancer

    Song Liu, Sangeeta Kumari ... Hannelore V Heemers
    Coregulators mediate selective interactions between DNA-bound androgen receptor and other transcription factors, which control distinct prostate cancer biology, suggesting disruption of critical interactions in these complexes as a novel therapeutic strategy.

    MELK is not necessary for the proliferation of basal-like breast cancer cells

    Hai-Tsang Huang, Hyuk-Soo Seo ... Nathanael S Gray
    The inhibitory or deletion effect of MELK does not impair the proliferation of basal-like breast cancer cell lines.

    The DREAM complex through its subunit Lin37 cooperates with Rb to initiate quiescence

    Christina FS Mages, Axel Wintsche ... Gerd A Müller
    Lin37 is essential for cell-cycle gene repression by the DREAM complex in cellular quiescence and a combined loss of Lin37 and Rb prevents cell-cycle exit in response to growth-limiting signals.
