Identification of a Transcription Factor Aomsn2 of the HOG1 Signaling Pathway Contributes to Fungal Growth, Development and Pathogenicity in Arthrobotrys oligospora

The Role of Transcription Factor AoMsn2 in the Hog1 Signaling Pathway in Fungal Growth, Development, and Pathogenicity Background Plant-parasitic nematodes cause significant annual losses to agriculture, while nematode-trapping fungi (NT fungi), due to their ability to capture nematodes by forming specialized trapping structures, have gradually bec...

Nucleosome Fibre Topology Guides Transcription Factor Binding to Enhancers

Nucleosome Fibre Topology Guides Transcription Factor Binding to Enhancers Academic Background The establishment of cellular identity relies on the concerted action of multiple transcription factors (TFs) bound to enhancers of cell-type-specific genes. Although TFs recognize specific DNA motifs within accessible chromatin, this information alone is...

ror2 regulates cellular plasticity in pancreatic neoplasia and adenocarcinoma

Research Report: The Regulatory Role of ROR2 in Pancreatic Cancer Cell Plasticity Background Introduction Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a deadly disease with most patients lacking the possibility of a cure. This is partly due to the difficulty in early detection. One of the characteristics of PDAC is its extensive tumor cell heterogene...

The transcription factor Meis2 promotes the development of projection neurons during mouse embryonic development by binding to and activating projection neuron-specific enhancers with Dlx5

This study investigated the role of the transcription factor Meis2 in regulating the development and differentiation of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic neurons during mouse embryonic development. Researchers comprehensively applied techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9 knockdown, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), and lineage tracing, and found that ...
