Highlights of the 2nd International Symposium on Tribbles and Diseases: Tribbles Tremble in Therapeutics for Immunity, Metabolism, Fundamental Cell Biology and Cancer
(Institute of Materia Medica, 2019-03)
The Tribbles (TRIB) family of pseudokinase proteins has been shown to play key roles in cell cycle, metabolic diseases, chronic inflammatory disease, and cancer development. A better understanding of the mechanisms of TRIB ...
Application of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles to Improve the Efficiency of Anticancer Drugs
(MDPI, 2019-03-22)
Drug delivery systems have opened new avenues to improve the therapeutic effects of already-efficient molecules. Particularly, Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs) have emerged as promising nanocarriers in cancer therapy. SLNs ...
Solid Lipid Nanoparticles Surface Modification Modulates Cell Internalization and Improves Chemotoxic Treatment in an Oral Carcinoma Cell Line
(MDPI, 2019-03-20)
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) present low toxicity, versatility to incorporate both lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs, controlled drug release and they are easy to scale-up. It is well known that the endocytosis pathway ...
Folding Status Is Determinant over Traffic-Competence in Defining CFTR Interactors in the Endoplasmic Reticulum
(MDPI, 2019-04-14)
The most common cystic fibrosis-causing mutation (F508del, present in ~85% of CF patients) leads to CFTR misfolding, which is recognized by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality control (ERQC), resulting in ER retention ...
Solid Lipid Nanoparticles Loaded with Glucocorticoids Protect Auditory Cells from Cisplatin-Induced Ototoxicity
(MDPI, 2019-09-14)
Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent that causes the irreversible death of auditory sensory cells, leading to hearing loss. Local administration of cytoprotective drugs is a potentially better option co-therapy for ...
Integration Through Separation - The Role of Lateral Membrane Segregation in Nutrient Uptake
(Frontiers Media, 2019-06-25)
Nutrient transporters are prominent and ubiquitous components of the plasma membrane in all cell types. Their expression and regulation are tightly linked to the cells' needs. Environmental factors such as nutrient starvation ...
Dermal Delivery of the High-Molecular-Weight Drug Tacrolimus by Means of Polyglycerol-Based Nanogels
(MDPI, 2019-08)
Polyglycerol-based thermoresponsive nanogels (tNGs) have been shown to have excellent skin hydration properties and to be valuable delivery systems for sustained release of drugs into skin. In this study, we compared the ...
Characterization of USP11 as a novel regulator of Hypoxia inducible factor a
(2019-11-27)
Adaptation to hypoxia is a puzzling and tightly regulated challenge. This adaptability involves a severe gene expression rewiring, which is mainly triggered by the Hypoxia Inducible transcription Factor (HIF). Canonically, ...
Molecular recognition between PCNA and proteins involved in DNA replication and repair: p15 and p12
(2019-12-19)
El antígeno nuclear de células en proliferación (PCNA) es un factor esencial en replicación y reparación de ADN en eucariotas. Forma un anillo homotrimérico que rodea y se desliza a lo largo del ADN, actuando como una ...
ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile:PolycipiviridaeIngrida
(Microbiology Society, 2019-04)
Polycipiviridae is a family of picorna-like viruses with non-segmented, linear, positive-sense RNA genomes of approximately 10-12 kb. Unusually for viruses within the order Picornavirales, their genomes are polycistronic, ...
