Wild-type and mutated ß-catenin differently repress RND3/RHOE expression in hepatocellular carcinoma

Tumor development and progression are mainly driven by oncogenic mutations but are also regulated by physical factors. Through its structural and transcriptional functions, ß-catenin is a key factor that acts on both aspects to promote liver tumorigenesis, leading to hepatocellul...

Integrating Next-Generation Reproductive Organoids with Genomics, Multi-Omics and Bioengineering to Understand Human Infertility

Infertility affects approximately one in six individuals worldwide and is a highly heterogeneous disorder resulting from the complex interplay of genetic, epigenetic, endocrine, environmental and lifestyle factors. Although numerous genes and molecular pathways involved in female...

An N-terminal CDC42 T43I variant reveals the mechanism of pyrin inflammasome activation

Heterozygous carboxyl-terminal variants in the RHO guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) CDC42 are known to cause severe autoinflammatory syndromes. Here, we identified a heterozygous amino-terminal p.T43I (Thr 43 →Ile) CDC42 variant in patients with autoinflammation and uncovered a...
