Resistance remains the major clinical challenge for the therapy of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) leukemia. With the exception of ponatinib, all approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are unable to inhibit the common "gatekeeper" mutation T315I ...
Organotypic models of patient-specific tumours are revolutionizing our understanding of cancer heterogeneity and its implications for personalized medicine. These advancements are, in part, attributed to the ability of organoid models to stably preserve ge ...
Vascular normalization therapy has the potential to facilitate drug delivery and lymphocyte infiltration in tumors. Yet, optimal targets and dosage regimens remain elusive. In this issue of Med, O’Connor et al. show that inhibition of LRG1 stabilizes the t ...
Mesomelic dysplasia, a severe shortening and bending of the limb, has been linked to rearrangements in the HoxD cluster in humans and mice. Here the authors engineer a 1 Mb inversion including the HoxD gene cluster and use this model to provide a mechanist ...
Articular cartilage focal lesion remains an intractable challenge in sports medicine, and autologous chondrocytes' implantation (ACI) is one of the most commonly utilized treatment modality for this ailment. However, the current ACI technique requires two ...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: SIRT5 plays pleiotropic roles via post-translational modifications, serving as a tumor suppressor, or an oncogene, in different tumors. However, the role SIRT5 plays in the initiation and progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ( ...
Unusual, severe infections or inflammatory episodes in newborns and infants are largely unexplained and often attributed to immature immune responses. Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are increasingly recognized as the etiology of life-threatening inflammat ...
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is an incurable form of B-cell lymphoma. Genomic alterations that inactivate RB signaling are surprisingly common in indolent FL. We show that FLs that are positive for phosphorylated RB respond to dual CDK4/BCL2 inhibition. Our re ...
A lanthanide-based peptide-directed bioprobe LnP19 (Ln = Eu or Yb) is designed as an impressive example of a small molecule-based dual-functional probe for the EBV oncoprotein LMP1. The peptide P19 (Pra-KAhx-K-LDLALK-FWLY-K-IVMSDKW-K-RrRK) is designed to s ...
Nearly all the cells of an organism share the same DNA sequence or genome, and yet they show different phenotypes and carry out different functions. This diversity is made possible by a verity of molecular modifications acting on the DNA sequence that coll ...
