The Tudor domain protein Tapas, a homolog of the vertebrate Tdrd7, functions in the piRNA pathway to regulate retrotransposons in germline of Drosophila melanogaster by Patil, Veena S., Anand, Amit, Chakrabarti, Alisha, Kai, Toshie

“…In the current study, we identified the paralog of the Drosophila tej gene, tapas (tap), which is an ortholog of vertebrate Tdrd7. Like Tej, Tap is localized at the nuage. Alone, tap loss leads to a mild increase in transposon expression and decrease in piRNAs targeting transposons expressed in the germline. …”

Maternal infections during pregnancy and the risk of childhood leukaemia in the offspring: Evidence from large-scale cohort studies by He, J

“…In the I4C analysis, maternal urinary tract infection (HR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.10-2.58) and respiratory tract infection (HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.05-2.26) were associated with increased risk of childhood leukaemia. Influenza-like illness showed a similar pattern but with less precise estimates (HR, 1.62; 95% CI, 0.76-3.42). …”

Metabolic maturation of induced pluripotent stem cells derived cardiomyocytes by Lopez, C

“…By simultaneously targeting both maturation methods we have shown a degree of maturation through an increased movement towards reduced glycolysis and increased FAO in our iPSC-CMs.</p> <p>Like others this thesis has shown that iPSC-CMs mature slowly over time with changes in structural genes occurring during the first month of differentiation and continuing to increase up to 3 months, whereas metabolic changes took longer to develop. 3D culture on collagen-derived scaffolds and engineered heart tissue (EHT) accelerated this maturation time and increased mitochondrial oxidative metabolism while decreasing anaerobic glycolysis. …”

Tumor cell-intrinsic signals promoting tolerance and adaptation to oncogenic kinase inhibition by Flower, Cameron Timothy

“…By leveraging targeted and untargeted mass spectrometry (MS) of endogenous tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins, which enables phosphosite-specific quantification of TK signaling networks, I report several cell line-specific vulnerabilities not predicted to exist at the genetic level, and the consensus observation that sustained activity of SRC family kinases (SFKs), or of the SRC-like kinases ABL1/2, is an important contributor to GM-TKI tolerance in all lines. …”
