    Emerging role of oncogenic ß-catenin in exosome biogenesis as a driver of immune escape in hepatocellular carcinoma

    Camille Dantzer, Justine Vaché ... Violaine Moreau
    Findings identify a new link between oncogenic ß-catenin and exosome biogenesis, which may serve as an important nodal point in the immune escape of hepatocellular carcinoma.

    Vacuolar H+-ATPase determines daughter cell fates through asymmetric segregation of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase complex

    Zhongyun Xie, Yongping Chai ... Wei Li
    Asymmetric segregation of V-ATPase may cause distinct acidification levels in the two daughter cells, enabling asymmetric epigenetic inheritance that specifies their respective life-versus-death fates.
