Heparan sulfate modifications of betaglycan promote TIMP3-dependent ectodomain shedding to fine-tune TGF-β signaling.

A. S. Choi, L. M. Jenkins-Lane, W. Barton, A. Kumari, C. Lancaster, C. Raulerson, H. Ji, D. Altomare, M. D. Starr, R. Whitaker, R. Phaeton, R. C. Arend, M. Shtutman, A. B. Nixon, N. Hempel, , K. Mythreye

This study identifies heparan sulfate modifications as critical for betaglycan ectodomain shedding, which regulates TGF-β signaling and has clinical implications in ovarian cancer.

Alpha-synuclein alters the faecal viromes of rats in a gut-initiated model of Parkinson's disease

S. R. Stockdale, L. A. Draper, S. O'Donovan, W. Barton, O. O'Sullivan, L. A. Volpicelli-Daley, A. Sullivan, C. O'Neill, C. Hill

This study shows that alpha-synuclein treatment in rats alters their faecal virome, with changes persisting over five months and influenced by LPS.
