MYC/MAX balance dictates cell progenitor fate by altering the HOX program in the Drosophila eye

Sara Monticelli, Giorgio Milazzo, Suleman Khan Zadran, Martina Santulli, Nicola Balboni, Silvia Strocchi, Ettore De Giorgio, Pieter Mestdagh, Angela Giangrande, Roberto Bernardoni, Giovanni Perini

This study shows that altering the MYC/MAX ratio in Drosophila eye progenitors changes cell fate by rewiring HOX gene expression and reprogramming progenitor identity.

Stress attenuation by the adrenergic-specific lncRNA NESPR prevents cell death in neuroblastoma cells

Louis Delhaye, Dries Rombaut, Eric James de Bony, Eva D’haene, Tiago F. Brazão, Lisa Depestel, Bieke Decaesteker, Stéphane Van Haver, Ramiro Martinez, Laudonia Lidia Dipalo, Juliette Roels, Kimberly Verniers, Nurten Yigit, Jasper Anckaert, Björn Menten, , Pieter Mestdagh

The paper identifies NESPR, an adrenergic-specific lncRNA, as a regulator of neuroblastoma cell identity that prevents cell death by attenuating stress.
