To develop effective medicines, researchers must first understand the common and distinct mechanisms that drive oncogenic processes in human cancers. TWF1 and TWF2 belong to the actin-depolymerizing factor homology family. TWF1 has been identified as an important gene in lung, breast, and pancreatic cancer in recent investigations. TWF2's role in cancer remains largely unknown, no comprehensive pan-cancer studies have been conducted. We utilized the The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus datasets to investigate the role of TWF2 in different types of cancers. TWF2 transcription in cancers and the number of TWF2 mutations were examined as part of our study. We also examined the possible functional pathways involved in TWF2-mediated oncogenicity. Our pan-cancer analysis provided a complete overview of the oncogenic effects of TWF2 in a wide range of human malignancies.

Stereocilia are actin-based cell protrusions of inner ear hair cells that play an essential role in mechano-electrical transduction (MET). Stereocilia are organized into several rows of increasing heights with the MET protein complex localized at the tips of shorter row stereocilia. At the tips of shorter row mechanotransducing stereocilia also resides a so-called "row 2 protein complex" whose dysfunction causes degeneration of the mechanotransducing stereocilia.

DNA methylation is a key epigenetic mechanism involved in embryonic muscle development and plays an important role in early muscle development. In this study, we sought to investigate the effects of genome-wide DNA methylation by combining the expression profiles of the chicken embryonic muscle. Genome-wide DNA methylation maps and transcriptomes of muscle tissues collected from different embryonic development points (E7, E11, E17, and D1) were used for whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) and RNA sequencing, respectively.

Regulated reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton is a prerequisite for proper platelet production and function. Consequently, defects in proteins controlling actin dynamics have been associated with platelet disorders in humans and mice. Twinfilin 2a (Twf2a) is a small actin-binding protein that inhibits actin filament assembly by sequestering actin monomers and capping filament barbed ends.

Twinfilins are evolutionarily conserved regulators of cytoskeletal dynamics. They inhibit actin polymerization by binding both actin monomers and filament barbed ends. Inactivation of the single twinfilin gene from budding yeast and fruit fly results in defects in endocytosis, cell migration, and organization of the cortical actin filament structures.
