Mad dephosphorylation at the nuclear envelope is essential for asymmetric stem cell division

Justin Sardi, Muhammed Burak Bener, Taylor Simao, Abigail E. Descoteaux, Boris M. Slepchenko, Mayu Inaba

The paper shows that Mad dephosphorylation at the nuclear envelope creates asymmetry in pMad levels between stem cells and differentiating daughter cells, preventing tumor formation.

Stem-cell niche self-restricts the signaling range via receptor-ligand degradation

Sophia Ladyzhets, Matthew Antel, Taylor Simao, Nathan S. Gasek, Ann E. Cowan, Mayu Inaba

The paper shows that MT-nanotubes in Drosophila GSCs restrict niche signaling range by enabling specific receptor-ligand interaction and subsequent degradation of the signaling components.
