Musashi proteins are post-transcriptional regulators of the epithelial-luminal cell state [PDF]
The conserved Musashi (Msi) family of RNA binding proteins are expressed in stem/progenitor and cancer cells, but generally absent from differentiated cells, consistent with a role in cell state regulation.

Musashi mediates translational repression of the Drosophila hypoxia inducible factor. [PDF]
Adaptation to hypoxia depends on a conserved α/β heterodimeric transcription factor called Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF), whose α-subunit is regulated by oxygen through different concurrent mechanisms.

The cell fate determinant Llgl1 influences HSC fitness and prognosis in AML [PDF]
A unique characteristic of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is the ability to self-renew. Several genes and signaling pathways control the fine balance between self-renewal and differentiation in HSCs and potentially also in leukemia stem cells. Recently,

Effects of fermented wheat germ extract on oral cancer cells and research of biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of oral cancer [PDF]
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) represents one of the most aggressive types of cancer. The disease occurs when the accumulation of multiple genetic mutations in the oral epithelial cells leads to an irreversible damage of DNA and the cells lose ...

Specificity factors in cytoplasmic polyadenylation [PDF]
Poly(A) tail elongation after export of an messenger RNA (mRNA) to the cytoplasm is called cytoplasmic polyadenylation. It was first discovered in oocytes and embryos, where it has roles in meiosis and development.
