CELF1 is an EIF4E binding protein that promotes translation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition effector mRNAs

The paper shows CELF1 binds eIF4E and PABP to promote translation of EMT effector mRNAs, and disrupting this interaction inhibits EMT and metastasis.

Chronic starvation induces non-canonical pro-death stress granules

This study identifies a novel type of stress granule formed during chronic starvation that promotes cell death, differing from classical stress granules associated with survival.
