FDA Grants Priority Review for Genentech’s Tecentriq for a Certain Type of Stage III Colon Cancer

[Genentech ] Genentech announced that the US FDA has accepted and granted Priority Review to its sBLA for Tecentriq® (atezolizumab) and Tecentriq Hybreza® in combination with chemotherapy for stage III dMMR/MSI-H colon cancer.

Molecular Glue Degraders of HuR Suppress BRAF-Mutant Colorectal Cancer

[Nature] Scientists identified dHuR as a molecular glue degrader of human antigen R (HuR), an RNA-binding protein that drives tumour growth, invasion, and therapy resistance.

SIRT3 Regulates Mitochondrial Metabolism through Deacetylation of SLC25A6 to Impact Gastric Cancer Progression and Drug Resistance

[Journal of Translational Medicine] Investigators show that Sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) drives gastric cancer progression and cisplatin resistance by stabilizing the mitochondrial transporter SLC25A6, revealing a metabolic pathway that could be targeted to overcome chemoresistance.

Harmane Induces Apoptosis through RRM2B and Suppresses Colorectal Cancer Progression

[Msystems] Researchers demonstrated a progressive decline of harmane levels in the gut from healthy individuals to advanced adenoma and colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, suggesting its potential protective role in CRC development.

Theabrownin Alleviates PCB138-Induced Intestinal Damage by Suppressing Oxidative Stress-Mediated Intestinal Epithelial Cell Necroptosis

[Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry] The authors found that 48-week PCB138 exposure induced ileal damage, inflammation, oxidative stress, and necroptosis in mice, which were mitigated by theabrownin intervention.

Lidocaine Enhances Antitumor Effects of Sorafenib and GW5074 in Colorectal Cancer Cells

[Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry] Scientists systematically evaluated the effects of combining lidocaine with sorafenib and/or GW5074 in colorectal cancer cell lines. They aimed to determine whether these regimens enhance cytotoxicity, overcome resistance associated with targeted therapies, and modulate cell death pathways.

Myosin Light Chain Proteins Cooperatively Promote Sarcomere Growth in Fast-Twitch Muscle

[Nature Communications] Scientists investigated how Myosin Light Chain Phosphorylatable Fast (Mylpf) abundance impacts sarcomere growth. The two zebrafish Mylpf genes, mylpfa and mylpfb, are exclusively expressed in fast-twitch muscle, with mylpfa expressed more abundantly than mylpfb.

Skeletal-Muscle-Targeted Non-Viral Delivery of Full-Length DMD mRNA for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

[Nature Biomedical Engineering] Researchers reported the systemic delivery of skeletal-muscle-targeted full-length DMD mRNA in a murine model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) using allogenically engineered targeting extracellular vesicles.

Engineered CAR-Monocytes Coordinate Fibrosis Clearance and Cardiac Regeneration following Myocardial Infarction

[Cell Stem Cell] The authors created pleiotropic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-monocytes, revitalizing the injured heart via synergistic fibrosis clearance and myocardial reconstitution.
