This study identifies a pre-rRNA positive feedback loop driven by CK2 in the nucleolus that promotes malignant ribosome biogenesis and cancer growth.

This study identifies TNK2 as a regulator of dopamine and epigenetic processes in Parkinson's disease, showing that mutations in TNK2 affect neuroprotection through interactions with RNAi and dopamine transport.

This paper identifies SID genes that modulate dopaminergic neurodegeneration in C. elegans by affecting RNA interference and microRNA activity.
