- ROMO1 Is an Essential Redox-Dependent Regulator of Mitochondrial Dynamics
ROMO1 links the oxidative state of the cell to changes in mitochondrial shape and function.
- STAT3 Induction of miR-146b Forms a Feedback Loop to Inhibit the NF-κB to IL-6 Signaling Axis and STAT3-Driven Cancer Phenotypes
An epigenetic modification prevents the production of a tumor-suppressing and anti-inflammatory microRNA in receptor-negative breast cancers.
Perspectives
- O ROM(e)O1, ROM(e)O1, Wherefore Art Thou ROM(e)O1?
ROMO1 translates alterations in redox state into changes in mitochondrial morphology.
- Biasing GPCR Signaling from Inside
Strategies that target the intracellular domain of G protein–coupled receptors may enable development of new intracellular biased signaling modulators.
