The MRTFs are required for thymocyte trafficking and Treg-mediated immune tolerance

Patrick S. Costello, Diane Maurice, María Benito-Jardón, Richard Treisman

This study shows that MRTF-SRF signaling is critical for thymocyte egress and Treg-mediated immune tolerance, leading to autoimmune phenotypes in MrtfabKOT mice.

MRTF-dependent cytoskeletal dynamics drive efficient cell cycle progression

Julie C. Nielsen, María Benito-Jardón, Noel Christo Petrela…·Richard Treisman

This study shows that MRTF-SRF activity is essential for cell cycle progression, as its inactivation leads to slow proliferation, elevated SASP factors, and cytoskeletal defects.
