Uterine fibroids (UFs) are the most common non-cutaneous tumors in women worldwide. UFs arise from genetic alterations in myometrial stem cells (MM SCs) that trigger their transformation into tumor initiating cells (UF SCs). Mutations in the RNA polymerase II Mediator subunit MED12 are dominant drivers of UFs, accounting for 70% of these clinically significant lesions.

The intracellular domains of many transmembrane proteins are ubiquitylated, which promotes their internalization by clathrin-mediated endocytosis. How might this enhanced internalization impact endocytic uptake of transmembrane proteins that lack ubiquitylation? Recent work demonstrates that diverse transmembrane proteins compete for space within highly crowded endocytic structures, suggesting that enhanced internalization of one group of transmembrane proteins may come at the expense of other groups.

In tissues, neutrophils neutralize Candida albicans through phagocytosis and delay C. albicans hyphae growth by deploying neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). However, in the bloodstream, the dynamic interactions between NETs and C.

The vacuolar-type H-ATPase (V-ATPase) is a proton pump responsible for controlling the intracellular and extracellular pH of cells. Its activity and assembly are tightly controlled by multiple pathways, of which phosphorylation-mediated regulation is poorly understood. In this report, we show that in response to starvation stimuli, the nonreceptor tyrosine kinase ABL1 directly interacts with ATP6V1B2, a subunit of the V domain of the V-ATPase, and phosphorylates ATP6V1B2 at Y68.

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) significantly influence the properties and performance of waste activated sludge. Various pretreatment protocols with different extraction efficiency and characteristics of EPS have been reported, which markedly impact subsequent treatment and disposal of sewage sludge. This study systematically assesses the EPS properties from twelve extraction pretreatment methods.
