Pannexin 1 and Pannexin 3 differentially regulate the tumorigenic properties of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma

B. L. O'Donnell, D. Johnston, A. Bhatt, Z. Kardan, D. Stefan, A. Bysice, S. Sayedyahossein, L. Dagnino, M. Cecchini, S. K. Loganathan, K. Roth, S. Penuela

This study investigates the differential roles of PANX1 and PANX3 in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, finding PANX1 promotes tumorigenesis while PANX3 suppresses it.

Pannexin 3 channels regulate architecture, adhesion, barrier function and inflammation in the skin

B. L. O'Donnell, R. E. Sanchez-Pupo, S. Sayedyahossein, M. Karimi, M. Bahmani, C. Zhang, D. Johnston, J. Kelly, C. B. Wakefield, K. Barr, L. Dagnino, S. Penuela

This study shows PANX3 is essential for maintaining skin architecture, adhesion, barrier function, and inflammation during aging, as demonstrated in knockout mice.

Pannexin 3 deletion reduces fat accumulation and inflammation in a sex-specific manner

C. B. Wakefield, V. R. Lee, D. Johnston, P. Boroumand, N. J. Pillon, S. Sayedyahossein, B. L. O'Donnell, J. Tang, R. E. Sanchez-Pupo, K. J. Barr, R. Gros, L. E. Flynn, N. Borradaile, A. Klip, F. Beier, S. Penuela

This study shows that PANX3 deletion reduces fat mass and inflammation in male mice but not females, with male KOs having fewer adipocytes and lower inflammatory gene expression.

Tardigrades exhibit robust inter-limb coordination across walking speeds

J. A. Nirody, L. A. Duran, D. Johnston, D. J. Cohen

This study examines how tardigrades coordinate their legs during walking on different substrates, finding flexible phase offsets between contralateral legs while preserving ipsilateral coordination, similar to insects and crustaceans.

Phanerozoic Radiation of Ammonia Oxidizing Bacteria

L. M. Ward, D. Johnston, P. M. Shih

This study estimates the timing of bacterial ammonia oxidation evolution using phylogenetic and molecular clock analyses, finding it originated in the Neoproterozoic and radiated during the Paleozoic.
