The role of LRRK2 in lung adenocarcinoma
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and the most commonlung cancer subtype is lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Frequently mutated genes involveactivating mutations in KRAS and loss of function mutations in TP53. LUADs primarily a ...
EPFL2024Development of cysteine cathepsin inhibitors combined with cell type-specific delivery for the treatment of B-cell lymphoma and solid tumors
Cysteine cathepsins proteases are enzymes that play essential physiological roles, but their activity is also associated to different aspects of cancer progression and to the development of other diseases. Therefore, cysteine cathepsins are relevant and pr ...
EPFL2024Bcl-xL targeting eliminates ageing tumor-promoting neutrophils and inhibits lung tumor growth
Freddy Radtke, Nadine Fournier, Etienne Meylan, Justine Pascual, Amber Dawn Bowler, Anita Bodac, Vincent Roh
Elevated peripheral blood and tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are often associated with a poor patient prognosis. However, therapeutic strategies to target these cells are difficult to implement due to the life-threatening risk of neutropenia. In a genetica ...
Springernature2024Designed biosensors for enhanced t cell therapy
This disclosure describes a method for de novo bottom-up assembly and rational design of allosteric biosensors with programmable input-output behaviors that respond to soluble factors selectively enriched in tumors and trigger co-stimulation and cytokine s ...
2023Rational combination platform trial design for children and young adults with Diffuse Midline Glioma: a report from PNOC
Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a devastating pediatric brain tumor unresponsive to hundreds of clinical trials. Approximately 80% of DMGs harbor H3K27M oncohistones, which reprogram the epigenome to increase the metabolic profile of the tumor cells. We ha ...
2023Structural Basis of the Allosteric Inhibition of Human ABCG2 by Nanobodies
Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Dongchun Ni
ABCG2 is an ATP-binding cassette transporter that exports a wide range of xenobiotic compounds and has been recognized as a contributing factor for multidrug resistance in cancer cells. Substrate and inhibitor interactions with ABCG2 have been extensively ...
ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Investigating the effect of inflammation on the progression of B-cell lymphoma dissemination in the sentinel lymph node
Lymphomas are a group of heterogeneous blood cancers that arise from lymphocytes. The two primary clinical classifications of lymphomas are Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). In particular, B-cell lymphoma refers to the malignancies ...
EPFL2023Combination of dielectrophoretic and hydrodynamic traps for the controlled contact between cells or beads and application to adhesion assays
Multicellular organisms require very well organized and finely balanced cell-cell communication, adhesion and coordination to ensure the organisms homeostasis. These functions rely on specialized receptors placed at the cells membrane whose binding to thei ...
EPFL2023KRAB zinc finger proteins link heterochromatin maintenance to replicative stress and inflammation in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Filipe Amândio Brandão Sanches Vong Martins
Genomic instability enhances cancer progression by favoring clonal diversity, yet uncontrolled replicative stress can lead to mitotic catastrophe and inflammatory responses promoting immune rejection. KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) are epigen ...
EPFL2023Mechanism of KRAS-driven T cell infiltration in colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Early-stage disease can be detected with preventative medical screening and is treatable with surgical resection. Sixty-percent of patients, however, are diagnosed with advanced-stage ...
