Milk makes lysosomes lethal   pp1029 - 1031
Shefali Krishna and Michael Overholtzer
doi:10.1038/ncb3059
Stat3 has been shown to regulate lysosome membrane permeabilization and cell death in vivo during post-lactation mammary gland involution. It is now revealed that Stat3 induces lysosome membrane permeabilization by causing phagocytosis of milk fat globules, which destabilize the lysosome membrane leading to leakage of cathepsin proteases.

Cyclin C surprises in tumour suppression   pp1031 - 1033
Marianna Trakala and Marcos Malumbres
doi:10.1038/ncb3055
Despite the importance of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) in the control of cell division, the physiological role of many of these regulators remains unknown. Cyclin C and its associated kinases Cdk3, Cdk8 and Cdk19 are now shown to function as tumour suppressors in haematopoietic malignancies by inhibiting the Notch1 pathway.

Pri peptides are mediators of ecdysone for the temporal control of development   pp1035 - 1044
Hélène Chanut-Delalande, Yoshiko Hashimoto, Anne Pelissier-Monier, Rebecca Spokony, Azza Dib et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3052
Payre and colleagues identify a gene, GstE14, needed for production of the insect steroid hormone ecdysone and find that this hormone acts through Pri peptides to control the timing of differentiation events.

Direct cell–cell contact with the vascular niche maintains quiescent neural stem cells   pp1045 - 1056
Cristina Ottone, Benjamin Krusche, Ariadne Whitby, Melanie Clements, Giorgia Quadrato et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3045
Parrinello and colleagues show that direct interactions with endothelial cells in the subventricular zone maintain the quiescence and identity of neural stem cells, through a process involving both Notch- and Ephrin-mediated signalling pathways.

Stat3 controls cell death during mammary gland involution by regulating uptake of milk fat globules and lysosomal membrane permeabilization   pp1057 - 1068
Timothy J. Sargeant, Bethan Lloyd-Lewis, Henrike K. Resemann, Antonio Ramos-Montoya, Jeremy Skepper et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3043
Lysosomal membrane permeabilization releases cathepsins to promote cell death and mammary gland involution. Sargeant et al. report that Stat3-driven phagocytic uptake of fatty acids in milk triglycerides permeabilizes lysosomes to induce cell death.

Selective VPS34 inhibitor blocks autophagy and uncovers a role for NCOA4 in ferritin degradation and iron homeostasis in vivo   pp1069 - 1079
William E. Dowdle, Beat Nyfeler, Jane Nagel, Robert A. Elling, Shanming Liu et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3053
Murphy and colleagues generate an inhibitor of the lipid kinase VPS34, which they use to uncover autophagy substrates. One of their targets, NCOA4, regulates iron homeostasis by binding ferritin heavy chain-1 and targeting ferritin to autolysosomes.

Cyclin C is a haploinsufficient tumour suppressor   pp1080 - 1091
Na Li, Anne Fassl, Joel Chick, Hiroyuki Inuzuka, Xiaoyu Li et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3046
Through gene knockout experiments, Sicinski and colleagues reveal a role for cyclin C as a haploinsufficient tumour suppressor in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, acting through phosphorylation of intracellular Notch1, mediating its degradation.

ASPP2 controls epithelial plasticity and inhibits metastasis through β-catenin-dependent regulation of ZEB1   pp1092 - 1104
Yihua Wang, Fangfang Bu, Christophe Royer, Sébastien Serres, James R. Larkin et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3050
Lu and colleagues report that ASPP2 induces mesenchymal–epithelial transition and inhibits cancer cell invasion and metastasis by preventing the β-catenin-mediated upregulation of ZEB1.

A breast cancer stem cell niche supported by juxtacrine signalling from monocytes and macrophages   pp1105 - 1117
Haihui Lu, Karl R. Clauser, Wai Leong Tam, Julia Fröse, Xin Ye et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3041
Weinberg and colleagues report that monocytes and macrophages interact with stem-like human mammary epithelial cells to create a breast cancer stem cell niche.

Autoinhibition and cooperative activation mechanisms of cytoplasmic dynein   pp1118 - 1124
Takayuki Torisawa, Muneyoshi Ichikawa, Akane Furuta, Kei Saito, Kazuhiro Oiwa et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3048
Furuta and colleagues report that single dynein molecules are kept in an autoinhibited state through the stacking of their two head domains. This autoinhibition is relieved when dynein molecules assemble together on cargo.
