    Abstract

    The zonula adherens matura Redefines the Apical Junction of Intestinal Epithelia

    Using super-resolution microscopy on human intestinal biopsies and Caco-2 cells, researchers reported that two distinct multiprotein belts were basal of the tight junctions as the intestinal epithelia mature.

    Abstract

    METTL3 Promotes Cellular Senescence of Colorectal Cancer via Modulation of CDKN2B Transcription and mRNA Stability

    Investigators uncovered that replicative senescent colorectal cancer cells exhibited increased levels of mRNA N6-methyladenosine and methyltransferase METTL3.

    Abstract

    CircUSP1 as a Novel Marker Promotes Gastric Cancer Progression via Stabilizing HuR to Upregulate USP1 and Vimentin

    Researchers discovered a stable cytoplasmic circular RNA named circUSP1 in gastric cancer (GC). CircUSP1 upregulation in GC tissues correlated with tumor size and differentiation.
