Adipocyte-Derived Amino Acid Storage Proteins are Required for Germline Stem Cell Maintenance in Adult Drosophila Females

Anna B. Zike, Mekenzi O. Hazen, M. Abel, Eleanor B. Goldstone, Robert C. Eisman, Lesley N. Weaver

This study shows that adipocyte-derived amino acid storage proteins are essential for maintaining germline stem cells in adult Drosophila females through TOR signaling regulation.

Estrogen-Related Receptor is Required in Adult Drosophila Females for Germline Stem Cell Maintenance

Anna B. Zike, M. Abel, Sophie A. Fleck, Emily D. DeWitt, Lesley N. Weaver

This study shows that ERR is required in adult Drosophila females for maintaining germline stem cells and promoting egg production, with cell-autonomous effects in the germline and not through adipocytes.

Microenvironment shapes small-cell lung cancer neuroendocrine states and presents therapeutic opportunities

P. A. Desai, N. Takahashi, R. Kumar, S. Nichols, J. Malin, A. Hunt, C. Schultz, Y. Cao, D. Tillo, D. Nousome, L. Chauhan, L. Sciuto, K. Jordan, V. Rajapakse, D. Lissa, , R. El Meskini

This study maps the SCLC tumor microenvironment and identifies cancer-associated fibroblasts as key drivers of neuroendocrine state plasticity and poor prognosis.

Subtyping of Small Cell Lung Cancer using plasma cell-free nucleosomes

G. Fialkoff, N. Takahashi, I. Sharkia, J. Gutin, N. Hermoni, R. Kumar, L. Pongor, S. Nichols, L. Sciuto, C. Graham, P. Desai, M. Nirula, P. Suresh, M. Abel, R. Elmeskini, , A. Thomas

This study uses cfChIP-seq on plasma samples to subtype SCLC based on epigenetic states, linking plasma nucleosome data to tumor transcriptomes and developing a classifier for lineage-defining transcription factors.
