LRP1 Mediates the IGF-1-Induced GLUT1 Expression on the Cell Surface and Glucose Uptake in Müller Glial Cells

The authors investigated whether Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) modulates glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1) traffic to plasma membrane (PM) and glucose uptake, as well as the involvement of Low-density lipoprotein Receptor-related Protein-1 (LRP1) in this process in the human Müller glial-derived cell line.

BKM120 Sensitizes BRCA-Proficient Triple Negative Breast Cancer Cells to Olaparib through Regulating FOXM1 and Exo1 Expression

Scientists found that dual phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibition with BKM120 and olaparib significantly reduced the proliferation of BRCA-proficient TNBC cell lines.

The Protein Phosphatase PPM1A Dephosphorylates and Activates YAP to Govern Mammalian Intestinal and Liver Regeneration

Genetic ablation or depletion of PPM1A in cells, organoids, and mice elicited an enhanced Yes-associated protein (YAP)/TAZ cytoplasmic retention and resulted in the diminished cell proliferation, severe gut regeneration defects in colitis, and impeded liver regeneration upon injury.
