Adaptive T-Cell Immunity Controls Senescence-Prone MyD88- or CARD11-Mutant B-Cell Lymphomas

Scientists functionally investigate primary mouse lymphomas that formed in recipient mice of Eµ-myc transgenic hematopoietic stem cells stably transduced with naturally occurring NF-kB mutants.

A Pygopus 2-Histone Interaction Is Critical for Cancer Cell De-Differentiation and Progression in Malignant Breast Cancer

Investigators demonstrated that the histone binding function of Pygo2 was important for driving de-differentiation and malignancy of breast tumors, and loss of this binding activated various differentiation pathways which attenuated primary tumor growth and metastasis formation.

TNF Deficiency Dysregulates Inflammatory Cytokine Production, Leading to Lung Pathology and Death during Respiratory Poxvirus Infection

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) deficiency did not affect viral load or leukocyte recruitment but caused severe lung pathology and excessive production of the cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, transforming growth factor beta, and interferon gamma

Lineage Reversion Drives WNT Independence in Intestinal Cancer

Scientists showed that while WNT suppression blocked tumor growth in most organoid and in vivo colorectal cancer (CRC) models, the accumulation of CRC-associated genetic alterations enabled drug resistance and WNT-independent growth.

NRP2 as an Emerging Angiogenic Player; Promoting Endothelial Cell Adhesion and Migration by Regulating Recycling of α5 Integrin

The authors demonstrated that neuropilin (NRP)2 promoted Rac-1 mediated endothelial cell adhesion and migration over fibronectin matrices in a mechanistically distinct fashion to NRP1, showing no dependence on β3 integrin expression, or VEGF stimulation
