CDC42 Polarity Controls Intestinal Stem Cell Fate
2026-09-01
Zhang et al. show that CDC42-dependent apical-basal polarity controls the intestinal stem cell-to-transit-amplifying cell transition through a YAP/TAZ–Ereg–mTOR cascade that operates independently of canonical Wnt signaling. The study links epithelial architecture to crypt proliferation and provides a framework for separating polarity defects from downstream pathway effects in intestinal models.

TRIM66 Controls One-Neuron-One-Receptor Olfaction
2026-08-31
A 2025 Nature Communications study identifies TRIM66 as an epigenetic repressor that helps mature olfactory sensory neurons silence excess olfactory receptor genes. Its loss preserves low-level expression of multiple receptors, disrupts olfactory neural activity, and impairs innate olfactory behavior, linking enhancer repression to sensory coding.
