  • Carboxylation switch | Nature Immunology

    Activation of mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) at the mitochondria membrane mediates both interferon (IFN) and apoptosis responses. In Science, Okazaki et al. show that carboxylation of MAVS enhances type I IFN responses and…

    Single-nuclei multiomics analysis identifies abnormal cardiomyocytes in a murine model of cardiac development

    The miR-200 family is required during early cardiac development

    To determine if miR-200 is a key player in mammalian cardiac development, we profiled miR-200 family expression from embryonic mouse whole heart RNA. Transcripts encoding the miR-200

    Enhancing adoptive cell therapy: future strategies for immune cell radioprotection in neuro-oncology

    Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has shown promising early signals of activity in treating select patients with brain tumors1. ACT is a type of immunotherapy that uses a patient’s own immune…

  • Liquid-liquid phase separation of ZHX2 protects DLBCL cells against ferroptosis through induction of SLC3A2

    Liquid-liquid phase separation of ZHX2 protects DLBCL cells against ferroptosis through induction of SLC3A2

    ZHX2 is overexpressed in DLBCL and promotes DLBCL proliferation

    To clarify the characteristics of ZHX2 in DLBCL, immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed elevated expression in DLBCL (n = 60) compared to normal tonsils (n = 30; mean optical density…
