Recent findings have identified roles for the immune system in what were previously considered to be prototypic metabolic diseases, and metabolic control has emerged as an important determinant of immune function. Giovanna Chimini, Lee Leserman, Diane Mathis and Philippe Naquet organized the EMBO Workshop on Immunology & Metabolism, which took place in January 2011 at the Centre d'Immunologie de Marseille-Luminy (CIML) in Marseille, France. The meeting brought together approximately 100 scientists to discuss interactions between metabolism and inflammation.

Cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a ubiquitous bacterial secondary messenger with diverse functions. A previous Escherichia coli proteome microarray identified that c-di-GMP binds to the 23S rRNA methyltransferases RlmI and RlmE. Here we show that c-di-GMP inhibits RlmI activity in rRNA methylation assays, and that it modulates ribosome assembly in the presence of kanamycin.

What is the learning effect of video review in postgraduate medical education: a systematic review.

BMC Med Educ

January 2025

Department of Educational Studies, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Ghent University, H. Dunantlaan 2, Ghent, 9000, Belgium.

Background: Video review is a feasible, commonly used learning tool, but current literature lacks a comprehensive review of its impact on learning in postgraduate medical education. This systematic review aims at examining the learning effect of video review of resident performance in clinical practice during postgraduate medical education.

Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted from May 2023 to July 2023 with an update on 12/12/2023.

Ephrin A1 functions as a ligand of EGFR to promote EMT and metastasis in gastric cancer.

EMBO J

January 2025

Department of Colorectal Surgery and Oncology and Department of Cell Biology, Center for Medical Research and Innovation in Digestive System Tumors, Ministry of Education, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.

Distant metastasis is the major cause of gastric cancer mortality, and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation plays critical roles in gastric cancer dissemination. However, EGFR targeting therapies in gastric cancer show only marginal effects, and the molecular mechanisms of oncogenic EGFR signaling remain poorly defined. Here, we report Ephrin A1 as a novel ligand of EGFR in gastric cancer.

Small GTPase RHEB is a well-known mTORC1 activator, whereas neddylation modifies cullins and non-cullin substrates to regulate their activity, subcellular localization and stability. Whether and how RHEB is subjected to neddylation modification remains unknown. Here, we report that RHEB is a substrate of NEDD8-conjugating E2 enzyme UBE2F.

E3 ligase FBXW7 suppresses brown fat expansion and browning of white fat.

EMBO Rep

January 2025

Joint Center for Translational Medicine, Fengxian District Central Hospital, Fengxian District, Shanghai, 201400, China.

Thermogenic fat, including brown and beige fat, dissipates heat via thermogenesis and enhances energy expenditure. Thus, its activation represents a therapeutic strategy to combat obesity. Here, we demonstrate that levels of F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7 (FBXW7), an E3 ubiquitin protein ligase, negatively correlate with thermogenic fat functionality.
