This paper identifies eIF4A as a key regulator of ER translation in breast cancer and shows that inhibiting eIF4A, either alone or with fulvestrant, suppresses ER expression and tumor growth in advanced ER+ breast cancer.

The paper investigates how aging-dependent dysregulation of EXOSC2 affects cellular traits and finds that PPP2R5E, a PP2A phosphatase subunit, is a key target of EXOSC2, with this regulation maintained in stem cells and cancer.

This study shows that β2 integrins regulate macrophage phagocytosis based on cargo rigidity, acting as a mechanical checkpoint to control engulfment strategies.
