MAPPING CHANGES OF MIRNA-MRNA NETWORKS IN LEISHMANIA-INFECTED MACROPHAGES PREDICTS REGULATORY MIRNA-TF LOOPS AS NOVEL TARGETS OF PARASITE IMMUNE SUBVERSION

Darwin's "neuters" and the evolution of the sex continuum in a superorganism

The paper identifies three phenotypic entities in ant embryos, including 'neuters', and proposes that haplodiploidy enables a third dimension on the sex continuum in Cardiocondyla obscurior.

A nuclear role for ARGONAUTE-2 in regulation of neuronal alternative polyadenylation

This study shows AGO2 regulates alternative polyadenylation in neuronal cells, affecting Ret mRNA isoforms and GDNF signaling in motor neurons.

AGO1x prevents dsRNA-induced interferon signaling to promote breast cancer cell proliferation

This study identifies AGO1x, a nuclear Argonaute isoform, as a suppressor of dsRNA-induced interferon signaling that promotes breast cancer cell proliferation.

Reconstitution of mammalian Cleavage Factor II involved in 3’ processing of mRNA precursors

This study reconstitutes mammalian Cleavage Factor II as a heterodimer of hPcf11 and hClp1, showing its activity in RNA cleavage and RNA binding preferences.
