    Treatment with tumor-treating fields (TTFields) suppresses intercellular tunneling nanotube formation in vitro and upregulates immuno-oncologic biomarkers in vivo in malignant mesothelioma

    Akshat Sarkari, Sophie Korenfeld ... Emil Lou
    Cancer-directed treatment using Tumor-Treating Fields spatially modulates the tumor microenvironment at the cellular and molecular levels, decreasing nanotube-based cellular networks of communication while creating a microenvironment more susceptible to immunotherapeutic strategies.

    Increase of cell surface vimentin is associated with vimentin network disruption and subsequent stress-induced premature senescence in human chondrocytes

    Jana Riegger, Rolf E Brenner
    Disruption of the intracellular vimentin network upon cellular stress results in enhanced cell surface vimentin on human osteoarthritic chondrocytes and might represent a novel membrane-associated marker of stress-induced premature senescence.

    Hepatic conversion of acetyl-CoA to acetate plays crucial roles in energy stress

    Jinyang Wang, Yaxin Wen ... Qinxi Li
    Acetate concentration, which is significantly increased in association with energy stresses such as those that occur with diabetes or starvation, is emerging as a novel 'ketone body' with potential as a parameter for evaluating the progression of energy stress.

    The Calpain-7 protease functions together with the ESCRT-III protein IST1 within the midbody to regulate the timing and completion of abscission

    Elliott L Paine, Jack J Skalicky ... Wesley I Sundquist
    Biochemical, structural, imaging, and functional studies reveal how the ESCRT-III protein IST1 recruits the CAPN7 cysteine protease to midbodies, where its proteolytic activity is required for efficient abscission and NoCut checkpoint arrest.
