Genome and epigenome analysis of monozygotic twins discordant for congenital heart disease
Background Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the leading non-infectious cause of death in infants. Monozygotic (MZ) twins share nearly all of their genetic variants before and after birth.

Dendritic cell Piezo1 directs the differentiation of TH1 and Treg cells in cancer
Dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in anti-tumor immunity by inducing T cell differentiation. Herein, we found that the DC mechanical sensor Piezo1 stimulated by mechanical stiffness or inflammatory signals directs the reciprocal ...

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 ...

Induction of endothelial cell proliferation by recombinant and microparticle-tissue factor involves β1-integrin and extracellular signal regulated kinase activation [PDF]
Objective: Increased levels of circulating tissue factor (TF) in the form of microparticles increase the risk of thrombosis. However, any direct influence of microparticle-associated TF on vascular endothelial cell proliferation is not known.

Stat3/Cdc25a-dependent cell proliferation promotes embryonic axis extension during zebrafish gastrulation [PDF]
Cell proliferation has generally been considered dispensable for anteroposterior extension of embryonic axis during vertebrate gastrulation. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3), a conserved controller of cell proliferation ...

A Prize for Proliferation [PDF]
As an avid reader of the Economist, I was disappointed by their suggestion that the Nobel committee had “blown” it in giving this year's prize for medicine and physiology to the discoverers of Cdks and not to those who had just sequenced the human genome.

The vitamin K-dependent factors protein S (PROS1) and growth-arrest-specific gene 6 (GAS6) and their tyrosine kinase receptors TYRO3, AXL, and MERTK, the TAM subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK), are key regulators of inflammation and vascular ...

Global proliferation of cephalopods [PDF]
Human activities have substantially changed the world's oceans in recent decades, altering marine food webs, habitats and biogeochemical processes [1]. Cephalopods (squid, cuttlefish and octopuses) have a unique set of biological traits, including rapid growth, short lifespans and strong life-history plasticity, allowing them to adapt quickly to ...

Cellular senescence is associated with epigenetic remodeling. Here, the authors report that TGF-β signaling promotes miR-29 mediated loss of H4K20me3 thus accelerating senescence.

Premature MicroRNA-1 Expression Causes Hypoplasia of the Cardiac Ventricular Conduction System. [PDF]
Mammalian cardiac Purkinje fibers (PFs) are specified from ventricular trabecular myocardium during mid-gestation and undergo limited proliferation before assuming their final form.
