The glutamate/cystine antiporter SLC7A11/xCT enhances cancer cell dependency on glucose by exporting glutamate

Cancer cells with specific genetic alterations may be highly dependent on certain nutrients for survival, which can inform therapeutic strategies to target these cancer-specific metabolic vulnerabilities. The glutamate/cystine antiporter solute …

Chromatin remodeling during in vivo neural stem cells differentiating to neurons in early Drosophila embryos

Neurons are a key component of the nervous system and differentiate from multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs). Chromatin remodeling has a critical role in the differentiation process. However, its in vivo epigenetic regulatory role remains unknown. …

Chromatin remodeling during the in vivo glial differentiation in early Drosophila embryos

Chromatin remodeling plays a critical role in gene regulation and impacts many biological processes. However, little is known about the relationship between chromatin remodeling dynamics and in vivo cell lineage commitment. Here, we reveal the …
