MEIOSIN: A New Watchman of Meiotic Initiation in Mammalian Germ Cells.

Abstract:

:The capacity to undergo meiosis defines vertebrate germ cells, yet mechanisms driving initiation of this specialized process are largely undefined. In this issue of Developmental Cell,Ishiguro et al. (2020) identified the transcription factor MEIOSIN as a gatekeeper of meiotic initiation in both male and female germ cells.

  • High-Molecular-Weight Hyaluronan Is a Hippo Pathway Ligand Directing Cell Density-Dependent Growth Inhibition via PAR1b.

    abstract::High-molecular-weight hyaluronan, a major component of the extracellular matrix, is anti-oncogenic, whereas low-molecular-weight hyaluronan is pro-oncogenic, though the mechanisms underlying the size-dependent opposite bioactivities of hyaluronan remain uncertain.
