Keratin 9 regulates mechanosensitive YAP1 signalling in palmoplantar epidermis

2026-10-22

Sarah N. Steiner, Eric N. Horst, Evelyn S. Chiu, Mitre Athaiya, Craig N. Johnson, Joseph Y. Shen, Michelle L. Kerns, Joseph D. Kirma, Rebecca L. McCarthy, Syed F. H. Shah, Ofer Sarig, Liat Samuelov, Eli Sprecher, Edel A. O’Toole, Johann E. Gudjonsson, Geeta Mehta, Ramiro Iglesias-Bartolome, Pierre A. Coulombe

Steiner et al. propose that keratin 9 (K9) interacts with 14-3-3, sequestering YAP1 in the cytoplasm and inhibiting YAP1 activity. They identify dysregulated YAP in palmoplantar keratinization diseases, with K9 as a downstream regulator of YAP.

Monocyte surface Y RNAs potentiate innate immunity

2026-10-19

Xiao Jiang, Weizhi He, Chu Xu, Wanwei Zheng, Chenye Li, Danhua Xu, Qixin Shao, Yin Li, Zhuo Liu, Wenshuai Li, Shuang He, Zhiqiang Wang, Ronghua Liu, Yiwei Chu, Zhongguang Luo, Xinxin Huang, Jie Liu, Enzhuo Yang, Lulu Hu

Jiang, He, Xu, Zheng et al. report a functional role for cell-surface Y RNAs in modulating extracellular histone-induced inflammatory signalling and cytokine secretion, which may contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease.

Cancer stem cells are hyper-responsive sensors of the tumour microenvironment and regulate metastasis dynamics through YAP/TAZ

2026-07-27

Binwu Tang

Nature Cell Biology, Published online: 27 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41556-026-02013-8 Using a dynamic fluorescent reporter, Tang et al. demonstrate that cancer stem cells are hyper-responsive to microenvironmental cues, which they sense and adapt to through YAP/TAZ signalling, thereby playing an essential role in breast cancer lung metastasis.]]>

Every scientist has a role in advocacy

2026-07-24

Veronica J. Farmer

Nature Cell Biology, Published online: 24 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41556-026-02012-9 In this Comment, we call on scientists to share their stories. Through casual conversation or prepared presentations, with images or essays, scientists can advocate for their research and reach taxpayers and elected officials at a time when science funding and public trust are undermined, particularly in the USA.]]>

Mitochondria–endoplasmic reticulum contact sites as hubs where mitochondria acquire iron

2026-06-26

Nature Cell Biology, Published online: 26 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41556-026-02008-5 The exact routes and mechanisms of iron acquisition by mitochondria are unclear. We identify mitochondria–endoplasmic reticulum contact sites as an iron supply hub and reveal that the mitochondrial ubiquitin ligase MITOL regulates HMOX2 activity, to enable delivery of haem-derived iron to sustain mitochondrial iron homeostasis.]]>

Linking TDP-43-regulated paraspeckle condensation to neuroprotection

2026-03-30

Nature Cell Biology, Published online: 30 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41556-026-01932-w Paraspeckle condensates are membraneless nuclear organelles linked to stress responses and disease states. We demonstrate that paraspeckle assembly is tightly controlled by antagonism between TDP-43 and other paraspeckle proteins, through non-random distribution of TDP-43 binding sites on the scaffolding RNA NEAT1. Structural changes in NEAT1 or altered protein stoichiometry affect condensate formation, with implications for neurodegeneration.

An EGFR co-amplified lncRNA HELDR promotes glioblastoma malignancy through KAT7-driven gene programs

2026-03-27

Xiaozhou Yu, Xiao Song, Richard A. Schäfer, Qingshu Meng, Deanna Tiek, Runxin Wu, Qiu He, Maya Walker, Qi Cao, Rendong Yang, Bo Hu, Shi-Yuan Cheng

Nature Cell Biology, Published online: 27 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41556-026-01924-w Yu et al. identify HELDR as a lncRNA co-amplified with EGFR in glioblastoma to promote a KAT7-activated malignancy programme, which can be potentially targeted with anti-EGFR therapy for improved therapeutic outcomes.

Seeing lipids where they live
