Open AccessHippo–YAP/TAZ signalling coordinates adipose plasticity and energy balance by uncoupling leptin expression from fat mass
Adipose tissues serve as an energy reservoir and endocrine organ, yet the mechanisms that coordinate these functions remain elusive. Here, we show that the transcriptional coregulators, YAP and TAZ, uncouple f...

Open AccessIrreversible HER2 inhibitors overcome resistance to the RSL3 ferroptosis inducer in non-HER2 amplified luminal breast cancer
Ferroptosis, a form of programed cell death, can be promoted by inhibitors of the xCT transporter (erastin) or GPX4 (RSL3). We found that GPX4, but not the xCT transporter, is selectively elevated in luminal b...

Open AccessSplicing factor SRSF3 represses translation of p21cip1/waf1 mRNA
Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 3 (SRSF3) is an RNA binding protein that most often regulates gene expression at the splicing level. Although the role of SRSF3 in mRNA splicing in the nucleus is well know...
