Conditional Myeloid-Specific Inhibition of UBE2N Hinders YUMM1.7 Growth

Kelsie Schiavone, Adam Pecoraro, Afsa Khawar, Kathleen Zhang, Daniel T. Starczynowski, Jennifer Y. Zhang

This study shows that inhibiting UBE2N in myeloid cells reduces YUMM1.7 melanoma growth by altering immune checkpoint molecules and SPP1 expression.

A human iPSC-derived motor neuron-myogenic cell coculture platform to evaluate neuromuscular junction innervation after axon injury and in Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Keunjung Heo, Xiangsunze Zeng, Kathleen Zhang, Kuchuan Chen, Shannon Zhen, Anika Naveen, Richard M. Giadone, Rasheen Powell, Roshan Pandey, Lee L. Rubin, Clifford J. Woolf

This paper develops a human iPSC-derived motor neuron-myogenic coculture platform to study NMJ innervation after axon injury and in SMA, showing blebbistatin enhances NMJ reinnervation and confirming reduced NMJ function in SMA patient-derived neurons.
