Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

A conserved signal and GTPase complex are required for the ciliary transport of polycystin-1

, 2011
Primary cilia regulate epithelial differentiation and organ function. Failure of mutant polycystins to localize to cilia abolishes flow-stimulated calcium signaling and causes autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Genome Architecture Mediates Transcriptional Control of Human Myogenic Reprogramming

iScience, 2018
Summary: Genome architecture has emerged as a critical element of transcriptional regulation, although its role in the control of cell identity is not well understood.

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Epigenetic control of myogenic identity of human muscle stem cells in Duchenne muscular dystrophy

iScience
Summary: In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), muscle stem cells’ (MuSCs) regenerative capacities are overwhelmed leading to fibrosis. Whether MuSCs have intrinsic defects or are disrupted by their environment is unclear.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

The transcriptome of early compensatory kidney growth reveals cell and time specific responses

iScience
Summary: Following kidney removal, the remaining kidney enlarges and increases its function. The mechanism and signals driving this compensatory kidney hypertrophy and the enlargement of its constituent kidney cells remains elusive.

USP29‐regulated noncanonical stabilization of the hypoxia‐inducible factor‐α in aggressive prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We identify USP29 as the only DUB mirroring CA9 expression, a marker of hypoxia and HIF pathway activation associated with PCA aggressiveness. USP29 stabilizes HIF‐1α and HIF‐2α via a noncanonical mechanism that is independent of PHD/pVHL activity yet relies on proteasomal regulation, establishing USP29 as a previously unrecognized regulator of hypoxic

3D imaging and single-cell analysis reveal cellular heterogeneity of lymphatic valve endothelial cell types

iScience
Summary: Lymphatic vasculature has specialized vessels to support unidirectional interstitial fluid transport and immune surveillance. Although the lymphatic system is a critical actor in skin homeostasis, the spatial organization of the lymphatic ...
