Age-Associated Microenvironmental Changes Highlight the Role of PDGF-C in ER+ Breast Cancer Metastatic Relapse
Investigators used syngeneic ER+ mouse models in which disseminated tumor cells displayed a dormant phenotype in young mice but accelerated metastatic outgrowth in an aged or fibrotic microenvironment.
[Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] Investigators showed that the oncogenic BCR-ABL1 of chronic myelogenous leukemia and the cellular ABL1 tyrosine kinases phosphorylated and inactivated Smad4 to block antiproliferative TGF-β signaling.
[Science of The Total Environment] RNA interference was performed to understand the function of astakine in hematopoiesis and apoptosis in Litopenaeus vannamei under ammonia-N exposure.
[Cell Reports] The authors integrated extensive longitudinal functional assessments of HSC-specific lineage tracing with single-cell transcriptome and epitope profiling.
