Stress granule sequestration of OXPHOS gene transcripts exacerbates glycolytic restriction

The paper examines stress granule dynamics and transcriptome changes under glycolytic inhibition, finding that OXPHOS transcripts are sequestered in SGs, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis.

Extended role of p21 during the exit from p21-induced G0/G1 arrest

This study reveals that p21 continues to play a role in cell cycle re-entry after G0/G1 arrest, beyond its initial inhibitory function.

BMP4 is sufficient to induce a caudal organizer

This study shows that BMP4 alone can induce a caudal organizer in zebrafish embryos and human pluripotent stem cells, replicating developmental processes seen in natural development.

Fat body-derived cytokine Upd2 controls disciplined migration of tracheal stem cells in Drosophila

This study identifies Upd2 as a fat body-derived cytokine that directs JAK/STAT signaling in Drosophila tracheal progenitors to maintain disciplined migration.

Mycn regulates intestinal development through ribosomal biogenesis in a zebrafish model of Feingold syndrome 1

This study uses a zebrafish model of Feingold syndrome 1 to show that Mycn regulates intestinal development through ribosomal biogenesis and that leucine supplementation can rescue the intestinal defect.
