Growth Factor-Triggered De-Sialylation Controls Glycolipid-Lectin-Driven Endocytosis

In cell biology, the glycosylation modification of cell surface glycoproteins plays a crucial role in processes such as cell signaling, adhesion, and migration. How dynamic changes in glycosylation regulate intracellular transport and function, particularly the internalization of cell surface receptors through endocytosis, remains an incompletely u...

Decoding Heterogeneous Single-Cell Perturbation Responses

Background Introduction In cell biology, understanding how cells respond differently to perturbations is crucial. Perturbation refers to altering cell states through gene editing, chemical substances, environmental changes, or mechanical forces to study their functions. However, existing methods have limitations in quantifying heterogeneous respons...

Selective Translational Control by PABPC1 Phase Separation Regulates Blast Crisis and Therapy Resistance in Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia

Academic Background and Problem Introduction Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a hematologic malignancy driven by the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene. Although Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) have significantly improved the survival rate of CML patients, TKI resistance and disease progression to the blast crisis (BC) phase remain major challenges in clinica...

Intratumour Oxidative Hotspots Provide a Niche for Cancer Cell Dissemination

Tumor heterogeneity is a critical issue in cancer research, encompassing genetic, phenotypic, and microenvironmental heterogeneity. Although single-cell sequencing has shed light on genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity, the study of non-genetic factors, such as microenvironmental heterogeneity, remains insufficient. Oxidative stress is a hallmark o...

Systematic Reconstruction of Molecular Pathway Signatures Using Scalable Single-Cell Perturbation Screens

In the field of functional genomics, researchers have long been dedicated to predicting causal regulatory relationships from observational data. However, despite modern technologies enabling the measurement of diverse molecular modalities, inferring causal regulatory relationships from observational data remains challenging. In particular, the iden...
