α-Synuclein Triggers Intercellular Nanotubes Formation to Prevent Apoptosis in Astroglia by Promoting Stemness

Rachana Kashyap, B. K. Anirudh Sreenivas, M R Varshith, Rajashri Rameshwar Mundada, Sreedevi Padmanabhan, Shreshta Jain, Archanalakshmi Kambaru, Somasish Ghosh Dastidar, Sivaraman Padavattan, Vinay Kumar Rao, Ravi R. Manjithaya, Jiřı́ Neužil, Sangeeta Nath

This study shows that α-synuclein protofibrils induce tunneling nanotubes in astrocytes, promoting stemness and apoptosis resistance through pFAK-Nanog interaction and p53 degradation.

Deregulation of the histone H3K9 dimethylation landscape suppresses Wnt signaling in embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma

Ananya Pal, Jia Yu Leung, Gareth Chin Khye Ang, Vinay Kumar Rao, Luca Pignata, Huey Jin Lim, Maxime Hebrard, Kenneth Tou En Chang, Victor Kwan Min Lee, Ernesto Guccione, Reshma Taneja

This study shows that G9a inhibition reduces DKK1 expression and enhances Wnt signaling, promoting myogenic differentiation in ERMS cells.
