The scaffold-dependent function of RIPK1 in dendritic cells promotes injury-induced colitis

K. Moriwaki, C. Park, K. Koyama, S. Balaji, K. Kita, R. Yagi, S. Komazawa-Sakon, T. Asuka, H. Nakano, Y. Kamada, E. Miyoshi, F. Chan

This study shows that RIPK1's scaffold function in dendritic cells prevents colonic inflammation and maintains immune homeostasis by inhibiting apoptosis and necroptosis.

Imatinib overrides taxane resistance by selective inhibition of novel CLIP1 variant obstructing the microtubule pore

K. Kita, P. V. Thakkar, G. Galletti, N. Madhukar, E. V. Navarro, I. Barasoain, H. V. Goodson, D. Sackett, J. F. Diaz, O. Elemento, M. A. Shah, P. Giannakakou

The paper identifies a novel CLIP-170 variant, CLIP-170S, that causes taxane resistance in gastric cancer and shows imatinib can reverse this resistance by selectively inhibiting CLIP-170S.
