Focus
- New twists in the AXL(e) of tumor progression
AXL inhibitors may slow tumor progression in patients with a mesenchymal subtype of ovarian cancer (Antony et al., in 4 October 2016 issue).
Research Articles
- The GAS6-AXL signaling network is a mesenchymal (Mes) molecular subtype–specific therapeutic target for ovarian cancer
AXL inhibitors may prolong survival in a subset of patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
- Quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis identifies the critical role of JNK1 in neuroinflammation induced by Japanese encephalitis virus
Blocking JNK signaling halts neuroinflammation caused by infection with Japanese encephalitis virus.
- Superresolution imaging of the cytoplasmic phosphatase PTPN22 links integrin-mediated T cell adhesion with autoimmunity
The tyrosine phosphatase PTPN22 redistributes from clusters to the leading edge in migrating T cells to inhibit integrin-mediated adhesion.
Editors' Choice
- Arresting migrating neutrophils with ROS
Oxidation of TRPM2 by ROS at sites of inflammation may limit tissue damage caused by neutrophils.
- Surviving the flood
Plants use a MAPKKK-dependent pathway to control the permeability of roots to water.
- A uniquely human susceptibility to bacterial infection
A sialic acid that is abundant in human mucus enhances Streptococcus pneumoniae virulence.
- Papers of note in Science Translational Medicine
This week’s articles highlight a lipokine that limits atherosclerosis, biomaterials for bone regeneration, and a cytokine associated with malaria pathogenesis.
- Papers of note in Science
This week’s articles describe a mechanism for the propagation of protein aggregates associated with Parkinson’s disease, crosstalk between fat cells and the brain that controls the growth of fruit flies, a histone brake on tumor growth, the coordination of DNA repair with the cell cycle, and a role for the innate immune response in liver damage caused by hepatitis A infection.
- Regulating the rate of mRNA degradation
Histone acetyltransferases and deacetylases control mRNA stability.
- Limiting damage but promoting resistance
A transient response to chemotherapy in the vasculature promotes chemoresistance in lymphoma cells.
