Summary: Despite its pivotal roles in biology, how the transcriptional activity of c-MYC is tuned quantitatively remains poorly defined. Here, we show that heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), the master transcriptional regulator of the heat shock response, acts ...

Synthetic viability by BRCA2 and PARP1/ARTD1 deficiencies
The PARP inhibitor olaparib is an approved treatment method for women with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation associated cancers. Here the authors show that olaparib can contribute to synthetic viability of cells if PARP1 is inhibited before BRCA2 loss.

Developmental Changes in the ECG of a Hamster Model of Muscular Dystrophy and Heart Failure
Aberrant autonomic signaling is being increasingly recognized as an important symptom in neuromuscular disorders. The delta-sarcoglycan-deficient BIO TO-2 hamster is recognized as a good model for studying mechanistic pathways and sequelae in muscular ...

Cancer cell survival depends on collagen uptake into tumor-associated stroma
Collagen can be a metabolic source to fuel cancer growth. Here the authors show that cell surface protein TEM8 mediates the binding and uptake of collagen in stromal cells and these cells processed the collagen to glutamine, providing an alternative ...

LSH/HELLS is a chromatin remodeler promoting incorporation of histone variant macroH2A. Here the authors reveal a role for LSH in genome stability, in protecting nascent DNA at stalled forks mediated by macroH2A deposition and RAD51 filament formation.
