Transfect with Confidence using X-tremeGENE Reagents from Roche

Efficiently transfect DNA or siRNA to power your cell-based applications

  • Obtain high numbers of healthy, viable cells
  • Achieve high transfection efficiency
  • Generate high recombinant protein yields

Minimize cytotoxicity and off-target effects

  • Assess true cell response rather than the effects of your transfection reagents
  • Generate physiologically relevant data by minimizing reagent-induced changes

Live cell RNA Detection made possible by SmartFlare™ technology. SmartFlare™ probes enable detection of RNA in live cells, connecting gene expression to specific phenotypes. The probes enter cells with no toxicity and leave after detection, allowing the same cells to be used for downstream assays.

Nature Communications soon to be fully open access
 
From 20th October Nature Communications, will become fully open access for all new submissions. If an author has a manuscript they wish to submit to the journal via the subscription route, they must submit before 20th October. After this date all new submissions, if accepted, will be published open access and an article processing charge (APC) will apply. For any questions on the switch, open access or advice on policies and funding, visit our website, read the press release or contact our dedicated support team at openaccess@nature.com.

Single-cell technologies sharpen up mammalian stem cell research   pp919 - 927
Philipp S. Hoppe, Daniel L. Coutu and Timm Schroeder
doi:10.1038/ncb3042
Schroeder and colleagues review the development and application of single-cell technologies — from gene and protein expression to clonal labelling, lineage tracing and time-lapse imaging — in stem cell research.

Podosome rosettes precede vascular sprouts in tumour angiogenesis   pp928 - 930
Carmen M. Warren and M. Luisa Iruela-Arispe
doi:10.1038/ncb3044
Expansion of a vascular network requires breaking through the basement membrane, a highly crosslinked barrier that tightly adheres to mature vessels. Angiogenic endothelial cells are now shown to form podosome rosettes that are able to focally degrade the extracellular matrix, prior to vascular sprouting in tumour angiogenesis.

Endothelial podosome rosettes regulate vascular branching in tumour angiogenesis   pp931 - 941
Giorgio Seano, Giulia Chiaverina, Paolo Armando Gagliardi, Laura di Blasio, Alberto Puliafito et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3036
Seano, Primo and colleagues report that blood vessel branching during tumour angiogenesis is mediated by the formation of podosome rosettes that depends on VEGF-A and integrin α6β1.

Mammary stem cells have myoepithelial cell properties   pp942 - 950
Michael D. Prater, Valérie Petit, I. Alasdair Russell, Rajshekhar R. Giraddi, Mona Shehata et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3025
Myoepithelial cells considered terminally differentiated are now shown by Stingl and colleagues to have stem cell properties in vitro, to repopulate a mammary gland on transplantation and to behave as stem cells by lineage tracing.

Single luminal epithelial progenitors can generate prostate organoids in culture   pp951 - 961
Chee Wai Chua, Maho Shibata, Ming Lei, Roxanne Toivanen, LaMont J. Barlow et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3047
Shen and colleagues report the in vitro generation of organoids from mouse luminal epithelial progenitor cells and normal or transformed prostate tissue, and extend this approach to the formation of normal and tumour organoids of human origin

RASSF1A–LATS1 signalling stabilizes replication forks by restricting CDK2-mediated phosphorylation of BRCA2   pp962 - 971
Dafni-Eleftheria Pefani, Robert Latusek, Isabel Pires, Anna M. Grawenda, Karen S. Yee et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3035
O’Neill and colleagues find that the Hippo kinase LATS1 is part of an ATR-dependent response to stalled replication forks and protects RAD51 nucleofilaments on single strand DNA.

EGFR has a tumour-promoting role in liver macrophages during hepatocellular carcinoma formation   pp972 - 981
Hanane Lanaya, Anuradha Natarajan, Karin Komposch, Liang Li, Nicole Amberg et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3031
Sibilia and colleagues report that IL-1-dependent EGFR induction in liver macrophages is needed to stimulate IL-6 production, which in turn promotes hepatocyte proliferation and hepatocellular carcinoma formation.

Bladder cancers arise from distinct urothelial sub-populations   pp982 - 991
Jason Van Batavia, Tammer Yamany, Andrei Molotkov, Hanbin Dan, Mahesh Mansukhani et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3038
Mendelsohn and colleagues use lineage tracing in a mouse model of bladder cancer to show that different progenitor cell populations give rise to distinct types of urothelial and squamous cell carcinomas.

PGC-1α mediates mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative phosphorylation in cancer cells to promote metastasis   pp992 - 1003
Valerie S. LeBleu, Joyce T. O’Connell, Karina N. Gonzalez Herrera, Harriet Wikman, Klaus Pantel et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3039
Kalluri and colleagues find that mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration induced by transcriptional coactivator PGC-1α in cancer cells promote cancer metastasis and that PGC-1α expression is associated with invasive breast cancer.

ΔNp63 promotes stem cell activity in mammary gland development and basal-like breast cancer by enhancing Fzd7 expression and Wnt signalling   pp1004 - 1015
Rumela Chakrabarti, Yong Wei, Julie Hwang, Xiang Hang, Mario Andres Blanco et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3040
Kang and colleagues demonstrate that the ΔNp63 isoform of p63 upregulates the expression of the Fzd7 Wnt receptor to promote normal and cancer stem cell activity in the mammary gland.

Systematic characterization of deubiquitylating enzymes for roles in maintaining genome integrity   pp1016 - 1026
Ryotaro Nishi, Paul Wijnhoven, Carlos le Sage, Jorrit Tjeertes, Yaron Galanty et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3028
Systematic characterization of deubiquitylating enzymes in the DNA-damage response identifies UCHL5 as promoting DNA-end resection.
