Perspective

Top

Tissue-specific designs of stem cell hierarchies   pp349 - 355
Jane E. Visvader and Hans Clevers
doi:10.1038/ncb3332
Visvader and Clevers discuss how stem cells from different tissues, such as the intestine, mammary gland and skeletal muscle, follow different strategies and hierarchies to maintain their complex, tissue-specific balance.

The ever-expanding role of HIF in tumour and stromal biology   pp356 - 365
Edward L. LaGory and Amato J. Giaccia
doi:10.1038/ncb3330
LaGory and Giaccia discuss the effects of hypoxia and its downstream responses in cancer and stromal cells.

Blood, blebs and lumen expansion   pp366 - 367
Michal Reichman-Fried and Erez Raz
doi:10.1038/ncb3334
A powerful combination of cell labelling, genetic tools and rapid imaging techniques in vivo has now led to a high-resolution description of lumen formation during angiogenesis in zebrafish. The study reveals a haemodynamic-force-driven and myosin-II-dependent cellular mechanism (termed inverse membrane blebbing) as the basis for lumen expansion in unicellular and multicellular angiogenic sprouts.

Multiple cilia suppress tumour formation   pp368 - 369
Charles Eberhart
doi:10.1038/ncb3331
Primary cilia are cellular structures that have important functions in development and disease. The suppression of multiciliate differentiation of choroid plexus precursors, and maintenance of a single primary cilium by Notch1, is now shown to be involved in choroid plexus tumour formation.

C/EBPα creates elite cells for iPSC reprogramming by upregulating Klf4 and increasing the levels of Lsd1 and Brd4   pp371 - 381
Bruno Di Stefano, Samuel Collombet, Janus Schou Jakobsen, Michael Wierer, Jose Luis Sardina et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3326
Graf and colleagues find that B cells exposed to a pulse of C/EBPα and the Yamanaka factors convert into elite-type cells that rapidly and efficiently reprogram into iPSCs, in a process that involves upregulation of Lsd1, Brd4 and Klf4.

How the kinetochore couples microtubule force and centromere stretch to move chromosomes   pp382 - 392
Aussie Suzuki, Benjamin L. Badger, Julian Haase, Tomoo Ohashi, Harold P. Erickson et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3323
Using mathematical simulations and a FRET tension sensor inserted into the microtubule-binding complex Ndc80, Suzuki and colleagues obtain insights into how force is generated at the budding yeast kinetochore.

SAS-6 engineering reveals interdependence between cartwheel and microtubules in determining centriole architecture   pp393 - 403
Manuel Hilbert, Akira Noga, Daniel Frey, Virginie Hamel, Paul Guichard et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3329
Centrioles are formed from a nine-fold symmetric cartwheel structure. Using mutants of the cartwheel protein SAS-6, which alters cartwheel symmetry, Hirono, Gonczy, Steinmetz and colleagues show that the microtubule wall also determines centriole shape.

A molecular mechanism to regulate lysosome motility for lysosome positioning and tubulation   pp404 - 417
Xinran Li, Nicholas Rydzewski, Ahmad Hider, Xiaoli Zhang, Junsheng Yang et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3324
Following autophagy induction, lysosomes move to the perinuclear region. Xu and colleagues delineate a pathway involving PtdIns(3,5)P2-mediated activation of the TRPML1 channel and the Ca2+ sensor ALG-2 in this process.

Sonic Hedgehog promotes proliferation of Notch-dependent monociliated choroid plexus tumour cells   pp418 - 430
Li Li, Katie B. Grausam, Jun Wang, Melody P. Lun, Jasmin Ohli et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3327
Zhao and colleagues model choroid plexus tumorigenesis in mice, and report that Notch-mediated suppression of multiciliate differentiation promotes tumour initiation from roof plate progenitor cells in response to epithelium-derived Shh signalling.

LncRNA NBR2 engages a metabolic checkpoint by regulating AMPK under energy stress   pp431 - 442
Xiaowen Liu, Zhen-Dong Xiao, Leng Han, Jiexin Zhang, Szu-Wei Lee et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3328
Liu et al. show that, in response to energy stress, the NBR2 long non-coding RNA binds AMPK and promotes its activity to reduce cancer cell proliferation. Conversely, loss of NBR2 inhibits AMPK, leading to mTOR activation and tumour growth.

Blood flow drives lumen formation by inverse membrane blebbing during angiogenesis in vivo   pp443 - 450
Veronique Gebala, Russell Collins, Ilse Geudens, Li-Kun Phng and Holger Gerhardt
doi:10.1038/ncb3320
Using live imaging of zebrafish angiogenesis, Gerhardt and colleagues observe blood-flow-regulated inverse membrane blebbing during lumen expansion, and show that actomyosin contractility is needed for both bleb retraction and lumen formation.

Godzilla-dependent transcytosis promotes Wingless signalling in Drosophila wing imaginal discs   pp451 - 457
Yasuo Yamazaki, Lucy Palmer, Cyrille Alexandre, Satoshi Kakugawa, Karen Beckett et al.
doi:10.1038/ncb3325
Vincent and colleagues show in Drosophila wing imaginal discs that the signalling molecule Wingless is synthesized and secreted at the apical surface, and is re-internalized to be transcytosed basally, where its signalling occurs.
