CELL SCIENTISTS TO WATCH
CELL SCIENCE AT A GLANCE
Chloroplast protein translocation pathways and ubiquitin-dependent regulation at a glance
Summary: The development and operation of chloroplasts depends on the correct targeting, translocation, assembly and degradation of thousands of different chloroplast proteins. An overview of these diverse proteostatic processes is presented.
RESEARCH ARTICLES
ILT4 reprograms glucose metabolism to promote tumor progression in triple-negative breast cancer
Summary: ILT4 is identified as an unfavorable prognostic biomarker as well as a novel driver for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) progression, suggesting that targeting ILT4 could be a strategy to combat TNBC.
TOOLS AND RESOURCES
Schwann cells are axo-protective after injury irrespective of myelination status in mouse Schwann cell–neuron cocultures
Summary: A novel method for compartmentalised mouse myelinating Schwann cell–DRG neuron cocultures, showing that Schwann cell myelination status does not influence their axon protective effect after injury.
