THERAPY RESISTANCE IN MELANOMA DRIVES CILIOGENESIS AND GLUTAMINE/ASPARTATE METABOLISM DEPENDENCY

Pietro Lugato, Raul Castro, Christine Thomas, Silvia Pedretti, Roxana Oberkersch, Nico Mitro, Massimo Mattia Santoro

This study identifies a link between therapy resistance in melanoma and increased ciliogenesis and glutamine/aspartate metabolism dependency.

Hippocampal Ring Finger Protein 10-dependent signaling supports cognitive flexibility

Elena Romito, Nicolò Carrano, Ana Ribeiro, Maria Italia, José Ignacio Gómez-Blanco, Filippo La Greca, Francesca Genova, Laura D’Andrea, Elisa Zianni, Luisa Ponzoni, Gaël Barthet, Stephan C. Collins, Mariaelvina Sala, Nico Mitro, Christophe Mulle, , Diego Scheggia

This study identifies RNF10-mediated signaling in the dorsal hippocampus as essential for cognitive flexibility by linking NMDAR activation to transcriptional programs that support adaptive behavior.

Prostaglandin D2 synthase controls Schwann cells metabolism

Amelia Trimarco, Matteo Audano, Rosa La Marca, Mariaconcetta Cariello, Marta Falco, Silvia Pedretti, Gabriele Imperato, Alessandro Cestaro, Paola Podini, Giorgia Dina, Angelo Quattrini, Luca Massimino, Donatella Caruso, Nico Mitro, Carla Taveggia

This study shows that L-PGDS in Schwann cells maintains myelin integrity by altering metabolism and producing ketone bodies and acetate.

Enhanced axonal Neuregulin-1 type-III signaling ameliorates disease severity in a CMT1B mouse model

Cristina Scapin, Cinzia Ferri, Emanuela Pettinato, Desirée Zambroni, Francesca Bianchi, Ubaldo Del Carro, Sophie Belin, Donatella Caruso, Nico Mitro, Marta Pellegatta, Carla Taveggia, Markus H. Schwab, Klaus‐Armin Nave, M. Laura Feltri, Lawrence G. Wrabetz, Maurizio D’Antonio

This study shows that enhancing Nrg1TIII signaling reduces disease severity in a CMT1B mouse model by rebalancing myelin lipids and proteins, not through myelin gene upregulation.
