This study identifies SOX2+ cells in phaeochromocytomas and paragangliomas as potential tumour-initiating stem cells capable of expansion and metastasis.

This study identifies SOX2+ sustentacular cells as stem cells for postnatal adrenal medulla chromaffin cells, showing their ability to generate both adrenaline and noradrenaline lineages and maintain homeostasis via WNT6 secretion.

The paper identifies host and nested gene pairs in mouse and human, showing tissue-specific transcriptional co-occurrence and enhanced transcript diversity in host genes.

The paper investigates how intragenic CpG islands (iCGIs) influence host gene pre-mRNA processing through transcriptional activity, showing a correlation between iCGI transcription and premature termination of host gene transcripts.
