A NIK-IKKα Module Expands ErbB2-Induced Tumor-Initiating Cells by Stimulating Nuclear Export of p27/Kip1

TL;DR: It is shown that IKKα and its activator, NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK), support the expansion of tumor-initiating cells (TICs) that copurify with a CD24(med)CD49f(hi) population from premalignant ErbB2-expressing mammary glands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anthrax Toxin Induces Macrophage Death by p38 MAPK Inhibition but Leads to Inflammasome Activation via ATP Leakage

TL;DR: Using virulent and nonvirulent strains of Bacillus anthracis, it is shown that secretion of ATP by infected macrophages and the sequential activation of the P2X7 purinergic receptor and nucleotide binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors are critical for IL-1-dependent host protection from virulent B. anthracis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sestrin regulation of TORC1: Is Sestrin a leucine sensor?

TL;DR: New findings suggest that the amino acid leucine specifically disrupts the association of Sestrin2 with GATOR2, thus explaining howLeucine and related amino acids stimulate TORC1 activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent Developments and Therapeutic Strategies against Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

TL;DR: New treatment opportunities, controversies, and future directions in managing HCC are discussed, including genomics, underlying cirrhosis, and optimal use of treatment strategies that include radiation, liver transplantation, and surgery.
