FUS and TAF15 safeguard the critical functions of the ribonucleoprotein network formed by EWSR1 and newly synthesized RNA.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The FET family of RNA-binding proteins, FUS, EWSR1, and TAF15, contribute to transcriptional regulation and RNA maturation, but their core functions remain unclear. Chromosomal rearrangements involving FUS, EWSR1, or TAF15 drive multiple cancers, and mutations in the genes encoding the FET proteins are associated with neurodegenerative disease. Here, using nanoscale imaging, we show that endogenous EWSR1 and newly synthesized RNA exhibit a network-like organization with EWSR1 foci forming the nodes of this ribonucleoprotein network. Acute depletion of EWSR1 causes a rapid but transient reduction in nascent RNA levels and cellular metabolic activity without affecting active transcription. Notably, loss of EWSR1 induces a compensatory mechanism involving the reorganization of FUS and TAF15 to closely resemble that of EWSR1, including enhanced clustering with newly synthesized RNA. Together, our findings reveal functional redundancy within the FET protein family that is critical for the homeostatic regulation of nascent RNA levels.
