Differential colonization and succession dynamics of marine bacteria on different plastic polymers

The paper investigates how marine bacteria colonize and succeed on different plastic polymers, finding that Alcanivorax genera show specific enrichment on PE and PP surfaces.

Characterization of novel fungal-algal symbiosis on LDPE plastic surfaces in the Mediterranean Sea

The paper describes a novel fungal-algal symbiosis on LDPE plastic surfaces in the Mediterranean Sea, identifying the fungal phylum and its abundance relative to other materials.

Deciphering the involvement of the Hippo pathway co-regulators, YAP/TAZ in invadopodia formation and matrix degradation

This study investigates the role of YAP/TAZ in invadopodia formation and matrix degradation in cancer cells, finding they suppress invadopodia formation and enhance matrix degradation when inhibited.

Genome-wide CRISPR screens identify novel regulators of wild-type and mutant p53 stability

This study uses CRISPR screens to identify factors regulating wild-type and mutant p53 stability, finding distinct regulators for different p53 mutants and their implications in cancer.

High-resolution screening for marine prokaryotic and eukaryotic taxa with selective preference for PE and PET surfaces

The paper screens marine microorganisms for selective preference on PE and PET surfaces using DNA metabarcoding and long-read sequencing, identifying differentially abundant taxa.

Pseudo-mutant p53 as a targetable phenotype of DNMT3A-mutated pre-leukemia

The paper identifies a pseudomutant p53 conformation in DNMT3A-mutated pre-leukemic HSPCs and shows that shifting to the wild-type conformation can eliminate these cells.

Transcriptional profiling reveals a subset of human breast tumors that retain wt TP53 but display mutant p53-associated features

The paper identifies a subset of human breast tumors with wild-type TP53 that exhibit gene expression and pathway patterns similar to TP53-mutated tumors, suggesting functional rewiring of p53.

Division of labor between YAP and TAZ in non-small cell lung cancer

This study identifies distinct roles for YAP and TAZ in NSCLC, showing YAP regulates cell cycle and TAZ regulates extracellular matrix, with differential impacts on growth and migration.
