Recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming and confer resistance to targeted therapies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that the majority of the 18 analyzed recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming. The most potent mutations are activating, co‐operate with other ERBB receptors, and are sensitive to pan‐ERBB inhibitors. Activating ERBB4 mutations also promote therapy resistance in EGFR‐mutant lung cancer.

Nitrate formation from heterogeneous uptake of dinitrogen pentoxide during a severe winter haze in southern China [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018
Nitrate (NO3-) has become a major component of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) during hazy days in China. However, the role of the heterogeneous reactions of dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) in nitrate formation is not well constrained.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Treasure Bowl: PM2.5 Aggregation in the Eye of a Tropical Cyclone

Geophysical Research Letters
A local tropical cyclone (TC) in South China Sea was observed making its first complete landfall on an island. Following the arrival of the TC eye, PM2.5 concentration rose from 4 µg/m³ to 44 µg/m³.
