- Adipocytes sensitize melanoma cells to environmental TGF-β cues by repressing the expression of miR-211
Fat cells secrete cytokines that enhance pro-metastatic TGF-β signaling in melanoma cells.
- Alternative ZAP70-p38 signals prime a classical p38 pathway through LAT and SOS to support regulatory T cell differentiation
“Alternative” ZAP70–dependent activation of the kinase p38 increases activation of the “classical” p38 cascade in T cells.
