Post-Translational Modification Crosstalk Regulates Oncogenic Protein Stability and Activity

A review published in Genes & Diseases highlights the complex interplay between protein arginine methylation and ubiquitination, two forms of protein modification that can profoundly influence cancer development, progression and treatment response. The article brings together current understanding of how these interconnected molecular processes regulate proteins involved in cancer and identifies opportunities for future therapeutic approaches.

AI Decodes Spatial DNA Packaging Patterns Invisible to Researchers

Aging progressively affects the functioning of our body and, among other things, deteriorates the ability of the hematopoietic system- the set of organs and tissues responsible for producing blood cells- to maintain adequate blood cell production.

Engineered 3D miBrains Model Human Neurovascular Units and Pathology

Mount Sinai researchers have identified how APOE4, the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, damages the brain's blood vessels and promotes the buildup of abnormal proteins linked to neurodegenerative disease.

Cryo-ET Reveals Native Membrane Architecture of Synchronous RyR1 Calcium Channels

Using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have revealed how muscle cell calcium channels open synchronously. The findings, published in "Nature Communications," may explain a mechanism behind serious muscle diseases.

Cancer Cells Hijack Embryonic Repair Mechanisms to Seed Liver Metastases

Most colon cancer deaths are caused by the spread of tumor cells beyond the colon, usually to the liver. In a new study, MIT biologists identified a cellular pathway necessary for colorectal cancer metastasis.

Multi-Receptor Blocking Achieves Superior Antifibrotic Response Over Single-Receptor Inhibition

Three adenosine receptor subtypes that normally send different signals were found to converge on a common pathway that activates cardiac fibroblasts, the scar-forming cells in the heart. Blocking the receptors together produced a much stronger antifibrotic effect than blocking them one at a time.

Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Construct Physical Barriers Limiting Antitumor T Cell Infiltration

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified a previously unknown pathway that prostate tumors leverage to suppress the immune system by reshaping the tumor microenvironment to resist treatment.

Ultra-High-Resolution 3D Microscopy Captures Distinct Presynaptic Protein Organization States

A new study led by researchers at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health examines how different versions of the same protein can alter neuronal communication.

Garvan Researchers Uncover Genetic Causes of Inherited Muscle Disease

A world-first test developed by researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has identified the genetic cause of inherited muscle disease in people who remained without answers after years, sometimes decades, of standard testing.

Scientists Discover Why High Levels of the Amino Acid Cysteine Are Toxic to Cells

Cysteine is one of the main building blocks that cells use to make proteins. But this amino acid is a double-edged sword–too much cysteine is toxic to the cell.

Study Uncovers Two-Protein Repair Mechanism Preserving Circular ecDNA Stability

Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and their colleagues have discovered that a type of rogue DNA found in aggressive cancers has a hidden structural weakness - and that blocking a single repair protein can cause it to fall apart, suggesting a new therapeutic opportunity.

Cambridge Researchers Look Inside Living Antarctic Cells for First Time

Engineers have built the first microscope to see inside living cells in sub-zero conditions, revealing secrets of Antarctic fish survival.

UCLA Team Develops Advanced Immunotherapy to Fight Dangerous Arterial Plaques

A UCLA research team has engineered a new type of immune cell that attacks atherosclerotic plaques — the fatty buildup inside artery walls that drives most heart attacks and strokes.

KAIST Researchers Develop NUDGE to Steer Cell States Without Permanent Alteration

Which genes need to be controlled to guide a stem cell toward a desired cell type, or to modulate an immune cell's inflammatory response? A Korean research team has developed a general-purpose computational framework that identifies the key targets needed to steer a cell toward a desired state with a single temporary intervention, without permanently altering its genes.
