Immunological combination treatment holds the key to improving survival in pancreatic cancer.
(2020-11)
Advances in surgery, peri-operative care and systemic chemotherapy have not significantly improved the prognosis of pancreatic cancer for several decades. Early clinical trials of immunotherapy have yielded disappointing ...
Selective autophagy controls innate immune response through a TAK1/TAB2/SH3PX1 axis.
(CELL PRESS, 2022-01-25)
Selective autophagy is a catabolic route that turns over specific cellular material for degradation by lysosomes, and whose role in the regulation of innate immunity is largely unexplored. Here, we show that the apical ...
DRP1 levels determine the apoptotic threshold during embryonic differentiation through a mitophagy-dependent mechanism.
(CELL PRESS, 2022-06-06)
The changes that drive differentiation facilitate the emergence of abnormal cells that need to be removed before they contribute to further development or the germline. Consequently, in mice in the lead-up to gastrulation, ...
USP25 promotes pathological HIF-1-driven metabolic reprogramming and is a potential therapeutic target in pancreatic cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-04-19)
Deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) play an essential role in targeted protein degradation and represent an emerging therapeutic paradigm in cancer. However, their therapeutic potential in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ...
Estrogen receptor positive breast cancers have patient specific hormone sensitivities and rely on progesterone receptor.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-06-06)
Estrogen and progesterone receptor (ER, PR) signaling control breast development and impinge on breast carcinogenesis. ER is an established driver of ER + disease but the role of the PR, itself an ER target gene, is debated. ...
Adipocytes disrupt the translational programme of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia to favour tumour survival and persistence.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-09-17)
The specific niche adaptations that facilitate primary disease and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) survival after induction chemotherapy remain unclear. Here, we show that Bone Marrow (BM) adipocytes dynamically evolve ...
ERG activity is regulated by endothelial FAK coupling with TRIM25/USP9x in vascular patterning.
(COMPANY BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2022-07-01)
Precise vascular patterning is crucial for normal growth and development. The ERG transcription factor drives Delta-like ligand 4 (DLL4)/Notch signalling and is thought to act as a pivotal regulator of endothelial cell ...
Expression of the mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase ART1 by tumor cells mediates immune resistance in non-small cell lung cancer.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2022-03-16)
Most patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) do not achieve durable clinical responses from immune checkpoint inhibitors, suggesting the existence of additional resistance mechanisms. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ...
IGF1-mediated human embryonic stem cell self-renewal recapitulates the embryonic niche.
(2020-02-07)
Our understanding of the signalling pathways regulating early human development is limited, despite their fundamental biological importance. Here, we mine transcriptomics datasets to investigate signalling in the human ...
Cancer Burden Is Controlled by Mural Cell-β3-Integrin Regulated Crosstalk with Tumor Cells.
(CELL PRESS, 2020-06-11)
Enhanced blood vessel (BV) formation is thought to drive tumor growth through elevated nutrient delivery. However, this observation has overlooked potential roles for mural cells in directly affecting tumor growth independent ...
