A cytosolic function of DNMT1 controls neuronal morphogenesis via microtubule regulation

Geraldine Zimmer‐Bensch, Georg Pitschelatow, Junko Kurisu, Takumi Kawaue, Ke Zuo, Song Xie, Christoph Weber-Hamacher, Cathrin Bayer, Jian Du, Philip Wolff, Shiori Nagayama, Claudia Palacios-Sanchez, Aylin Rogowski, Jana Egner-Walter, Paolo Ruggerone, , Mineko Kengaku

This study identifies a cytosolic function of DNMT1 in regulating neuronal morphogenesis through microtubule dynamics and organelle trafficking, independent of its catalytic activity and nuclear localization.

Induction of Sertoli cells from human fibroblasts by NR5A1 and GATA4

Jianlin Liang, Nan Wang, Jing He, Jian Du, Yahui Guo, Lin Li, Wenbo Wu, Longping Liu, Chencheng Yao, Zheng Li, Kehkooi Kee

This study reprograms human fibroblasts into Sertoli cells using NR5A1 and GATA4, showing they resemble primary Sertoli cells and support spermatogonia viability and immune suppression.
