De novo phosphatidylcholine synthesis is required for autophagosome membrane formation and maintenance during autophagy.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2020-06)
UNLABELLED: Macroautophagy/autophagy can enable cancer cells to withstand cellular stress and maintain bioenergetic homeostasis by sequestering cellular components into newly formed double-membrane vesicles destined for ...
Tuning Local Hydration Enables a Deeper Understanding of Protein-Ligand Binding: The PP1-Src Kinase Case.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2021-01-14)
Water plays a key role in biomolecular recognition and binding. Despite the development of several computational and experimental approaches, it is still challenging to comprehensively characterize water-mediated effects ...
Radiological evaluation of malignant pleural mesothelioma - defining distant metastatic disease.
(BMC, 2020-12-09)
BACKGROUND: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is traditionally characterized by local destructive spread of the pleura and surrounding tissues. Patient outcomes in MPM with distant metastatic dissemination are lacking. ...
A cell-based screening method using an intracellular antibody for discovering small molecules targeting the translocation protein LMO2.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2021-04-01)
Intracellular antibodies are tools that can be used directly for target validation by interfering with properties like protein-protein interactions. An alternative use of intracellular antibodies in drug discovery is ...
Armored CAR T-Cells: The Next Chapter in T-Cell Cancer Immunotherapy.
(DOVE MEDICAL PRESS LTD, 2021-01-01)
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy engineers T-cells to express a synthetic receptor which redirects effector function to the tumor, to improve efficacy and reduce toxicities associated with conventional ...
Investigating the phosphinic acid tripeptide mimetic DG013A as a tool compound inhibitor of the M1-aminopeptidase ERAP1.
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2021-06-15)
ERAP1 is a zinc-dependent M1-aminopeptidase that trims lipophilic amino acids from the N-terminus of peptides. Owing to its importance in the processing of antigens and regulation of the adaptive immune response, dysregulation ...
Biomarkers Associating with PARP Inhibitor Benefit in Prostate Cancer in the TOPARP-B Trial.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-11-01)
PARP inhibitors are approved for treating advanced prostate cancers (APC) with various defective DNA repair genes; however, further studies to clinically qualify predictive biomarkers are warranted. Herein we analyzed ...
Preclinical trial of a MAP4K4 inhibitor to reduce infarct size in the pig: does cardioprotection in human stem cell-derived myocytes predict success in large mammals?
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2021-05-20)
Reducing infarct size (IS) by interfering with mechanisms for cardiomyocyte death remains an elusive goal. DMX-5804, a selective inhibitor of the stress-activated kinase MAP4K4, suppresses cell death in mouse myocardial ...
An antibody-drug conjugate with intracellular drug release properties showing specific cytotoxicity against CD7-positive cells.
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2021-09-01)
Refractory T cell acute leukaemias that no longer respond to treatment would benefit from new modalities that target T cell-specific surface proteins. T cell associated surface proteins (the surfaceome) offer possible ...
HER-3 Expression and MEK Activation in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
(Research Square, 2020-08-26)
<h4>Background: </h4> HER-3 has a role in pathogenesis and development of resistance to targeted therapies in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MethodsWe analysed tumour samples from 45 patients with adenocarcinoma of ...
