The target of rapamycin (TOR) plays a central role in eukaryotic cell growth control. With prevalent hyper-activation of the mTOR pathway in human cancers, novel strategies to enhance TOR pathway inhibition are highly desirable.
Chemical genetics screen for enhancers of rapamycin identifies a specific inhibitor of an SCF family E3 ubiquitin ligase.

Comparative transcriptome profiling of the injured zebrafish and mouse hearts identifies miRNA-dependent repair pathways.

View SamplesThe mammalian heart has poor regenerative capacity following injury. In contrast, certain lower vertebrates such as zebrafish retain a robust capacity for regeneration into adult life. Here we use an integrated approach to identify evolutionary conserved regenerative miRNA-dependant regulatory circuits in the heart. We identified novel miRNA-dependant networks involved in critical biological pathways, which are differentially utilized between the infarcted mouse heart and the regenerating zebrafish heart.

View SamplesWe report a highly-penetrant form of obesity, initially observed in 31 heterozygous carriers of a 593kb or larger deletion at 16p11.2 from amongst subjects ascertained for cognitive deficits. Nineteen similar deletions were identified from GWAS data in 16053 individuals from 8 European cohorts; such deletions was absent from healthy non-obese controls and accounted for 0.7% of our morbid obesity cases (p = 6.4x10-8, OR = 43). These findings highlight a promising strategy for identifying missing heritability in obesity and other complex traits, in which insights from rare extreme cases can be used to elucidate the basis for more common phenotypes.
