Nature Communications, Published online: 20 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17357-4OTX2 promotes tumour growth in Group 3 medulloblastoma. Here, the authors show that OTX2 regulates PAX3 to induce neural de-differentiation and promote tumourigenesis in Group 3 medulloblastoma.
Nature Communications, Published online: 20 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17380-5The immune system can eradicate tumours, and several chemotherapy strategies have been reported to augment the immune system. Here, the authors report an exogenous magnetic field triggered strategy to boost Ferroptosis-like death and endow responsive MRI by using a biosafe hybrid core-shell vesicle for cancer therapy.
Nature Communications, Published online: 20 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17399-8The molecular mechanisms regulating macrophage recruitment to tumors are unclear. Here, the authors use a Drosophila overgrowth model to show how damaged basement membranes recruit macrophages to undead tissue, via an interdependent effect of reactive oxygen species and matrix metalloproteinase 2.
Nature Communications, Published online: 20 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17467-zTherapy-induced senescence reflects a biological effector principle that is underrecognized in lesion-focused cancer precision medicine. Here the authors utilize mouse lymphoma genetics to functionally dissect senescence and cross-species apply a novel senescence-based prognosticator to lymphoma patients.
Nature Communications, Published online: 20 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17434-8Anion vacancies are a hurdle for technologies based on chalcogenide semiconductors and topological insulators. Even at room temperature, oxidation and cyanide etching can lead to selenium vacancies in CuInSe2 photovoltaic material but suitable post deposition treatments can mitigate their effect.
Nature Communications, Published online: 20 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17456-2Malaria prevalence in Papua New Guinea has risen in recent years after almost a decade of decline. In this study, the authors demonstrate that long-lasting insecticidal nets used in the country that were manufactured since 2013 have significantly reduced bioefficacy.
Nature Communications, Published online: 20 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17378-zFamilial carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is common, but causal genes are not characterized. Here the authors report two CTS-related mutations in two large families that impair secretion of COMP in tenocytes, leading to ER stress-induced unfolded protein response, inflammation and fibrosis in patients and mouse models.
Nature Communications, Published online: 20 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17451-7Membrane contact sites between organelles have been shown to play important biological roles. Here, the authors show that at the ER, PDZD8 associates with Protrudin and also with Rab7 endosomes and recruits mitochondria to form three-way contacts.

Abstract Purpose Our previous cross-sectional study showed that periodic limb movements during sleep (PLMS) were frequently found in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and that both OSA and PLMS were associated with higher plasma fibrinogen levels. We explored the longitudinal relationships among these factors. Methods Plasma fibrinogen levels...
