Ribosome. The complete structure of the 55S mammalian mitochondrial ribosome.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2015-04-17)
Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) synthesize mitochondrially encoded membrane proteins that are critical for mitochondrial function. Here we present the complete atomic structure of the porcine 55S mitoribosome ...
Faecal neutrophil elastase-antiprotease balance reflects colitis severity.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-03-01)
Given the global burden of diarrheal diseases on healthcare it is surprising how little is known about the drivers of disease severity. Colitis caused by infection and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterised by ...
Transcriptomic analysis of human primary breast cancer identifies fatty acid oxidation as a target for metformin.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-01-21)
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies suggest that metformin may reduce the incidence of cancer in patients with diabetes and multiple late phase clinical trials assessing the potential of repurposing this drug are underway. ...
Delayed APC/C activation extends the first mitosis of mouse embryos.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-08-29)
The correct temporal regulation of mitosis underpins genomic stability because it ensures the alignment of chromosomes on the mitotic spindle that is required for their proper segregation to the two daughter cells. Crucially, ...
Hypoxia-induced switch in SNAT2/SLC38A2 regulation generates endocrine resistance in breast cancer.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2019-06-18)
Tumor hypoxia is associated with poor patient outcomes in estrogen receptor-α-positive (ERα+) breast cancer. Hypoxia is known to affect tumor growth by reprogramming metabolism and regulating amino acid (AA) uptake. Here, ...
Integrin-Mediated Macrophage Adhesion Promotes Lymphovascular Dissemination in Breast Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-05-14)
Lymphatic vasculature is crucial for metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); however, cellular and molecular drivers controlling lymphovascular metastasis are poorly understood. We define a macrophage-dependent ...
An organoid-based CRISPR-Cas9 screen for regulators of intestinal epithelial maturation and cell fate.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2023-07-14)
Generation of functionally mature organs requires exquisite control of transcriptional programs governing cell state transitions during development. Despite advances in understanding the behavior of adult intestinal stem ...
Loss of Bardet-Biedl syndrome proteins causes synaptic aberrations in principal neurons.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019-09-01)
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), a ciliopathy, is a rare genetic condition characterised by retinal degeneration, obesity, kidney failure, and cognitive impairment. In spite of progress made in our general understanding of BBS ...
Multiple paternity in superfetatious live-bearing fishes.
(WILEY, 2022-05-25)
Superfetation, the ability to carry several overlapping broods at different developmental stages, has evolved independently multiple times within the live-bearing fish family Poeciliidae. Even though superfetation is ...
High concentrations of reactive oxygen species in the BAL fluid are correlated with lung injury in rabbits after hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation.
(TOHOKU UNIV MEDICAL PRESS, 2009-11-01)
Increased levels of cytokines or reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid are associated with acute lung injury after ischemia/reperfusion. We investigated the correlation of these markers ...
