Snail2 directly represses cadherin6B during epithelial-to-mesenchymal transitions of the neural crest [PDF]
The neural crest, a transient population of migratory cells, forms the craniofacial skeleton and peripheral nervous system, among other derivatives in vertebrate embryos. The transcriptional repressor Snail2 is thought to be crucial for the epithelial-to-

Heterogeneity Landscape of Circulating Tumor Cells in Clinical Utility
This study reports the heterogeneity spectrum of circulating tumor cells. The factors involved in the spectrum promote CTCs to overcome barriers in the metastatic cascade but impact the clinical outcome of cancer patients. In summary, the heterogeneities in association with CTCs ultimately reduce patient survival and facilitate increasing mortality of ...

The introduction of marine cone snail species from the coast of the Qeshm Island, contains conotoxin palliative pain in mice [PDF]
Conotoxins are small toxic peptides that are synthesized in cone snail venom ducts. Conotoxins have analgesic effects in models animal. In this study, the analgesic effects with no toxicity of Persian Gulf cone snails, Conus coronatus, and Conus frigidus

Targeting of polycombs to DNA in EMT [PDF]
We here describe the conceptual advance provided by the study by Battistelli and coworkers (PMID: 27452518), that shed light on a molecular mechanism of Polycomb targeting in the biological process known as Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT ...

D‐glucuronyl C5‐Epimerase Binds to EGFR to Suppress Kidney Fibrosis
Glucuronyl C5‐epimerase (Hsepi, gene name Glce) is a key enzyme catalyzing heparan sulfate (HS) chain biosynthesis in HS proteoglycans, which are ubiquitously expressed on cell membranes. In normal renal tubular cells, Glce binds to the intracellular domains of EGFR, maintaining stable and orderly EGFR phosphorylation.

Endometriosis is an oestrogen‐dependent disease, and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) is involved in the process of endometriosis. Whether oestrogen could induce EMT in endometriosis remains largely unknown.

Linear signaling in the Toll-Dorsal pathway of Drosophila: activated Pelle kinase specifies all threshold outputs of gene expression while the bHLH protein Twist specifies a subset [PDF]
Differential activation of the Toll receptor leads to the formation of a broad Dorsal nuclear gradient that specifies at least three patterning thresholds of gene activity along the dorsoventral axis of precellular embryos.

Osteocyte-Driven Downregulation of Snail Restrains Effects of Drd2 Inhibitors on Mammary Tumor Cells [PDF]
While bone is a frequent target of breast cancer-associated metastasis, little is known about the effects of tumor-bone interactions on the efficacy of tumor-suppressing agents.
