The idea of feminism inspires me the most, because for a long time, [I felt that because] I was born with male genitalia, I wasn't allowed to express my femininity and my desire to be a woman." Huang H, Li J, Hu L, Ge L, Ji H, Zhao Y, Zhang L. Bantam is essential for Drosophila intestinal stem cell proliferation in response to hippo signaling. Developmental Biology. 2014; 385:211–219. doi: 10.1016/j.ydbio.2013.11.008. [ PubMed] [ CrossRef] [ Google Scholar] Multiple upstream signals integrate to activate the Hippo pathway. Despite that Hippo signaling mainly transduces via triggering Wts phosphorylation (Udan et al., 2003; Wu et al., 2003), previous studies indicate that some upstream components regulate the Hippo signaling by controlling Wts protein levels. The atypical cadherin Fat (Ft) (Cho et al., 2006), the atypical myosin Dachs (D) together with the LIM domain protein Zyxin (Zyx) (Rauskolb et al., 2011), and the tumor suppressor gene Scribble (Scrib) (Verghese et al., 2012) function as components of the Hippo pathway via regulating Wts stability. It is possible that these upstream components signal through Wts protein level to control Lola stability for downstream ISC proliferation.

Experiments using a second reverse approach by overexpressing wts in lola mutant clones have been done. Please see below for detailed responses and also revision in the manuscript. Transgender people are the coolest, most beautiful, most intelligent, most powerful people in the world. Unfortunately, most people treat us like shit. As for me, I'm white, I'm college educated, I've got a solid support system, I've got a job and citizenship to a first-world country. Aside from being transgender, I couldn't be much more privileged. I feel like I've had to fight tooth and claw to get where I am, but in the grand scheme of things, my career was practically handed to me. I have an immense responsibility to use my platform to improve the lives of trans women, especially trans women of color. After me, you should go and talk to a trans woman of color, because they need a platform a lot more than the white girls do. At the end of the day, trans women can't catch a break. That's why so many of us are unemployed, suicidal, and isolated from our families. What do I want to accomplish in the transgender community? Food and shelter would be a great start, and the right to use toilets in peace. Legal protection from professional discrimination would be nice. Empathy from cisgender folks would be nice. I could go on, but let's start there."Xu T, Wang W, Zhang S, Stewart RA, Yu W. Identifying tumor suppressors in genetic mosaics: the Drosophila lats gene encodes a putative protein kinase.

[ PubMed] [ Google Scholar] Why you should know her: Often cited as the first transgender supermodel, Lea was discovered by Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci in 2010 and became his muse. She's since appeared in magazines and on runways around the world, as well as in the Italian version of Dancing With the Stars in 2013. In November 2014, she was named the face of Redken.

I graduated with a degree in fashion from the Art Institute of Philadelphia, but what really got me into modeling was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to pose as an extra in a shoot; that shoot just so happened to be centered around homelessness. I was homeless at the time. But it was after the shoot and on the editing floor that I got my shot at modeling. Tyra Banks noticed me and gave me one of the biggest opportunities of my life. I've gotten this far by continuously redefining my brand and who I am as an industry contender." We thank the reviewer for the comments. To accurately analyze the difference on cell proliferation between wts RNAi alone and wts RNAi + yki RNAi, we increased the sample size for each genotype. A more detailed analysis showed that there is no statistical significance between results from these two samples. These new results were shown in Figure 1E in the revised manuscript. Probably earlier this year when [I found out] I was going to be working with Make Up For Ever and Vogue. Last year was a pretty difficult year for me. I completed my transition, I had surgery in the beginning of last year, and I had to deal with changing agencies and changing careers, so it was a pretty intense year. I faced quite a lot of rejection, and it made me doubt things. So it felt amazing to come out on top of it all in such a major way."Furukawa M, He YJ, Borchers C, Xiong Y.
