The reproductive ecology drivers of egg attendance in amphibians.
(WILEY, 2022-10-01)
Parental care is extremely diverse but, despite much research, why parental care evolves is poorly understood. Here we address this outstanding question using egg attendance, the simplest and most common care form in many ...
Nuclear gene proximity and protein interactions shape transcript covariations in mammalian single cells.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2020-10-28)
Single-cell RNA sequencing studies on gene co-expression patterns could yield important regulatory and functional insights, but have so far been limited by the confounding effects of differentiation and cell cycle. We apply ...
USP28 deletion and small-molecule inhibition destabilizes c-MYC and elicits regression of squamous cell lung carcinoma.
(eLIFE SCIENCES PUBL LTD, 2021-10-12)
Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a considerable global health burden, with an incidence of over 600,000 cases per year. Treatment options are limited, and patient's 5-year survival rate is less than 5%. The ...
Improved Binding Affinity and Pharmacokinetics Enable Sustained Degradation of BCL6 In Vivo.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2022-06-23)
The transcriptional repressor BCL6 is an oncogenic driver found to be deregulated in lymphoid malignancies. Herein, we report the optimization of our previously reported benzimidazolone molecular glue-type degrader CCT369260 ...
Chromatin regulation of transcriptional enhancers and cell fate by the Sotos syndrome gene NSD1.
(CELL PRESS, 2023-07-20)
Nuclear receptor-binding SET-domain protein 1 (NSD1), a methyltransferase that catalyzes H3K36me2, is essential for mammalian development and is frequently dysregulated in diseases, including Sotos syndrome. Despite the ...
Uridine-derived ribose fuels glucose-restricted pancreatic cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-06-01)
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a lethal disease notoriously resistant to therapy1,2. This is mediated in part by a complex tumour microenvironment3, low vascularity4, and metabolic aberrations5,6. Although altered ...
Beyond the Driver Mutation: Immunotherapies in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-08-20)
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are a subtype of soft tissue sarcoma (STS), and have become a concept of oncogenic addiction and targeted therapies.The large majority of these tumors develop after a mutation in KIT ...
Characterization of Acoustic, Cavitation, and Thermal Properties of Poly(vinyl alcohol) Hydrogels for Use as Therapeutic Ultrasound Tissue Mimics.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2022-06-01)
The thermal and mechanical effects induced in tissue by ultrasound can be exploited for therapeutic applications. Tissue-mimicking materials (TMMs), reflecting different soft tissue properties, are required for experimental ...
Antibodies against endogenous retroviruses promote lung cancer immunotherapy.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-04-20)
B cells are frequently found in the margins of solid tumours as organized follicles in ectopic lymphoid organs called tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS)1,2. Although TLS have been found to correlate with improved patient ...
Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Suppress CD8+ T-cell Infiltration and Confer Resistance to Immune-Checkpoint Blockade.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2022-08-16)
UNLABELLED: Immune-checkpoint blockade (ICB) promotes antitumor immune responses and can result in durable patient benefit. However, response rates in breast cancer patients remain modest, stimulating efforts to discover ...
