N^6-methyladenosine (m^6A) on mRNAs is critical for various biological processes, yet whether m^6A regulates drug resistance remains unknown. Here we show that developing resistant phenotypes during tyrosine kinase ...
Cell-in-cell structures, also referred to as 'entosis', are frequently found in human malignancies, although their prognostic impact remains to be defined. Two articles recently published in Cell Research report the...
Dear Editor, Technologies to achieve specific and precise genome editing, such as knock-in and knock-out, are critical for deciphering the functions of a gene and for under- standing fundamental biological processes. ...
The F-box family of proteins (FBPs), the substrate- recognition components of the Skpl-Cull-F-box-protein (SCF) ubiquitin ligase, are evolutionarily conserved in various species and exhibit key roles in a wide arr...
Dear Editor, Histone methylation plays important roles in regulating gene expression and diverse biological processes [1 ]. Methylation of a unique residue, lysine 79 of histone H3 (H3K79), is evolutionarily conser...
Dear Editor, Drosophila oogenesis is of great interest because it represents an excellent model system to study a number of fascinating biological processes, such as stem cell regulation, germ cell meiosis and oocyte...
In eukaryotic cells, the genome is packaged into chromatin by wrapping DNA around histones. Studies in the past decade revealed that chromatin is not a static structure. In response to developmental and environmental ...
Since its discovery about 25 years ago, the NF-kB signaling pathway has remained one of the exciting and extensively studied fields of biomedical research. It is of no doubt that NF-kB functions as an essential intrac...
Dear Editor, Histone lysine methylation has received a great deal of attention from the chromatin field over the past 10 years. To date, histone lysine methylations have been demonstrated to play pivotal roles in near...
