Key Highlights
•
A new small-molecule inhibitor can block the CBLB protein, which stops it from tagging the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) with a “recycle” signal. This prevents the receptor from being pulled inside the cell, leading to stronger and longer-lasting signals that drive cell movement, which could inform new strategies for targeting cancers driven by EGFR.

Researchers have created a complete molecular and cellular map of the entire laboratory mouse body, providing a detailed reference of every organ and cell type. This scalable platform allows for comprehensive analysis of how tissues are organized and how they respond to disease, serving as an invaluable resource for biomedical research.

In heart muscle cells with weakened nuclear structure (lamin A/C deficiency), the cell’s internal skeleton plays a key role in reorganizing DNA at the edge of the nucleus. This finding reveals how physical forces transmitted from the cell’s skeleton can alter genome organization, which is crucial for understanding certain heart muscle diseases.
