This study identifies circPMS1 as a pro-metastatic circRNA in melanoma that promotes cytoskeletal remodeling and metastasis by scaffolding LIM proteins.

The paper investigates MAFG's role in DNA methylation remodeling in NSCLC, finding that MAFG methylation and protein levels are prognostic biomarkers, especially in lung adenocarcinomas.

This study identifies MAFG as a driver of melanoma progression by interacting with MITF to alter gene expression and promote a dedifferentiated melanoma phenotype.

This study identifies miR-451a and miR-142-3p as prognostic markers in NSCLC using sEV liquid biopsy, showing their association with treatment response and survival.

This study identifies PHGDH induction via MAPK and mTORC1 pathways as essential for melanoma formation and shows that combining BRAFV600E inhibition with serine restriction can target this vulnerability.

This paper develops genetic tools for stable circRNA overexpression in vitro and in vivo, demonstrating their utility in cell culture and mouse models.
