Connexin 43 drives glioblastoma cancer stem cell phenotypes through a WNK lysine-deficient protein kinase 1-c-MYC signaling axis

Erin E. Mulkearns-Hubert, Nicole Hajdari, Ellen S. Hong…·Justin Durla Lathia

This study shows that Cx43 promotes glioblastoma cancer stem cell survival and self-renewal via a WNK1-c-MYC signaling pathway.

miR-644a is a tumor cell-intrinsic mediator of sex bias in glioblastoma

Ellen S. Hong, Sabrina Z. Wang, András K. Ponti…·Andrew Dhawan

This study identifies miR-644a as a tumor cell-intrinsic mediator of sex bias in glioblastoma, showing it is more highly expressed in females and its target genes are linked to poorer survival.

A subset of broadly responsive Type III taste cells contribute to the detection of bitter, sweet and umami stimuli

Debarghya Dutta Banik, Eric D. Benfey, Laura E. Martin…·Kathryn F. Medler

The paper identifies a new subset of Type III taste cells that respond to multiple taste stimuli and uses genetic and imaging approaches to characterize their signaling pathways.
