USP5-Beclin 1 axis overrides p53-dependent senescence and drives Kras-induced tumorigenicity
Oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) occurs in premalignant lung adenomas, but infrequently in malignant adenocarcinomas. Here the authors show that USP5-Beclin 1 axis overcomes OIS in Kras-driven lung cancer by enhancing MDM2-mediated p53 degradation.

ABSTRACT Background Latino children are projected to make up nearly one‐third of United States (US) children by 2060, and many of their caregivers speak Spanish. Prior survey research has documented communication difficulties for Spanish‐speaking caregivers of children with cancer, but contemporary qualitative data are limited.

Growth in Studying the Cessation of Growth [PDF]
Having been asked to write a guest commentary for the Journal of Bacteriology as part of the year-long commemoration of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) centennial, how does one proceed? Having been asked to write about the change in mind-set that led molecular microbiologists to begin exploring the molecular mechanisms at play in the ...

THE GROWTH OF BACTERIOPHAGE [PDF]
1. An anti-Escherichia coli phage has been isolated and its behavior studied. 2. A plaque counting method for this phage is described, and shown to give a number of plaques which is proportional to the phage concentration. The number of plaques is shown to be independent of agar concentration, temperature of plate incubation, and ...

Adolescent acne: association to sex, puberty, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone
The manifestation of acne in adolescents coincides with the emergence of other androgen-dependent characteristics of puberty such as sweat odor and pubic hair. Yet, little is known about the associations with circulating levels of androgens.

A Drosophila RNAi library modulates Hippo pathway-dependent tissue growth
Drosophila RNAi libraries are commonly used to perform large-scale functional genetics screens in vivo. Here the authors find that a subset of lines from the VDRC KK RNAi line cause false-positive enhancement of the Hippo pathway, and provide a strain ...

Growth in growth hormone insensitivity
Primary GH insensitivity due to GH receptor deficiency (GHRD) provides a model for studying the discrete effects of severe IGF-I deficiency on growth and body composition. Growth failure in utero is doubtful, but postpartum growth proceeds at rates that result in adult statures 4-12 standard deviations (SDs) below the normal mean.

ABSTRACT Pediatric intramedullary low‐grade gliomas (PIMLGGs) are rare neoplasms that present unique clinical and management challenges. Although surgery remains the primary tool for tissue diagnosis and decompression, complete gross‐total resection is frequently unfeasible due to the infiltrative nature of these lesions.
