    The orphan GPR50 receptor promotes constitutive TGFβ receptor signaling and protects against cancer development

    Transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) signaling is initiated by the type I, II TGFβ receptor (TβRI/TβRII) complex. Here we report the formation of an alternative complex between TβRI and the orphan GPR50, belong...

    Mutations in ACTRT1 and its enhancer RNA elements lead to aberrant activation of Hedgehog signaling in inherited and sporadic basal cell carcinomas

    Inactivating mutations in ACTRT1 or surrounding noncoding sequences transcribed into functional enhancer RNAs cause aberrant activation of Hedgehog signaling in both sporadic and inherited forms, such as Bazex–Du...

    HSP70 sequestration by free α-globin promotes ineffective erythropoiesis in β-thalassaemia

    In human β-thalassaemiaerythroblasts, HSP70 is sequestered in the cytoplasm by the excess of free α-globin chains and can no longer protect the master transcriptional factor of erythropoiesis GATA-1 from caspa...
