Targeting PML in triple negative breast cancer elicits growth suppression and senescence
(Nature, 2020-04)
Oncogene addiction postulates that the survival and growth of certain tumor cells is dependent upon the activity of one oncogene, despite their multiple genetic and epigenetic abnormalities. This phenomenon provides a ...
Multiplex SERS Detection of Metabolic Alterations in Tumor Extracellular Media
(Wiley, 2020-04)
The composition and intercellular interactions of tumor cells in the tissues dictate the biochemical and metabolic properties of the tumor microenvironment. The metabolic rewiring has a profound impact on the properties ...
Structural Characterization of the ICOS/ICOS-L Immune Complex Reveals High Molecular Mimicry by Therapeutic Antibodies
(Nature, 2020-10-08)
The inducible co-stimulator (ICOS) is a member of the CD28/B7 superfamily, and delivers a positive co-stimulatory signal to activated T cells upon binding to its ligand (ICOS-L). Dysregulation of this pathway has been ...
A fluorogenic cyclic peptide for imaging and quantification of drug-induced apoptosis
(Nature, 2020-08-12)
Programmed cell death or apoptosis is a central biological process that is dysregulated in many diseases, including inflammatory conditions and cancer. The detection and quantification of apoptotic cells in vivo is hampered ...
Affinity for the Interface Underpins Potency of Antibodies Operating In Membrane Environments
(Cell Press, 2020-08-18)
The contribution of membrane interfacial interactions to recognition of membrane-embedded antigens by antibodies is currently unclear. This report demonstrates the optimization of this type of antibodies via chemical ...
HuR/ELAVL1 drives malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor growth and metastasis
(The American Society for Clinical Investigation, 2020-07-01)
Cancer cells can develop a strong addiction to discrete molecular regulators, which control the aberrant gene expression programs that drive and maintain the cancer phenotype. Here, we report the identification of the ...
SUMOylation in the control of cholesterol homeostasis
(The Royal Society, 2020-05)
SUMOylation-protein modification by the small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO)-affects several cellular processes by modulating the activity, stability, interactions or subcellular localization of a variety of substrates. ...
The role of SUMOylation during development
(Portland Press, 2020-04)
During the development of multicellular organisms, transcriptional regulation plays an important role in the control of cell growth, differentiation and morphogenesis. SUMOylation is a reversible post-translational process ...
