    Ceapins are a new class of unfolded protein response inhibitors, selectively targeting the ATF6α branch

    Ciara M Gallagher, Carolina Garri ... Peter Walter
    Ceapins enable selective pharmacological inhibition of the cytoprotective transcriptional response to endoplasmic reticulum stress through ATF6α without affecting other branches of the unfolded protein response.

    Clathrin modulates vesicle scission, but not invagination shape, in yeast endocytosis

    Wanda Kukulski, Andrea Picco ... Marko Kaksonen
    Building on previous work (Picco et al., 2015), we use a hybrid imaging approach to address the role of clathrin during endocytosis: we find that it has no role in shaping or elongating membrane invaginations, but it does contribute to the regularity of vesicle scission.

    Nerve growth factor receptor negates the tumor suppressor p53 as a feedback regulator

    Xiang Zhou, Qian Hao ... Hua Lu
    The nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) protein regulates p53 via two negative feedback mechanisms, which are hijacked by cancer cells.

    PROP1 triggers epithelial-mesenchymal transition-like process in pituitary stem cells

    María Inés Pérez Millán, Michelle L Brinkmeier ... Sally A Camper
    The transcription factor PROP1 controls a genetic network that drives pituitary stem cells to undergo an epithelial-to-mesenchymal-like transition and differentiate.
