[Cell Death & Disease] Mechanistic investigations revealed that KIF20A regulates DHX9 nucleocytoplasmic distribution and inhibits TRIM21-mediated K48-linked polyubiquitination at DHX9-K755, thereby preventing its proteasomal degradation and enhancing protein stability.
[Oncogene] Investigators revealed for the first time that 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) exerts antitumor effects by promoting exon 13 skipping of KDM6A, which suppresses the proliferation and stemness of breast cancer cells and lacks H3K27 demethylase activity.
[FASEB Journal] Scientists elucidated the functional role of the potassium channel tetramerization domain 15 (KCTD15) in triple-negative breast cancer progression, providing mechanistic insights into its potential as a therapeutic target for this challenging disease.
[Discover Oncology] The authors synthesize current preclinical and clinical advancements in targeting CSCs via DNA damage response inhibitors, including PARP, ATR, ATM, and DNA-PKcs inhibitors, as well as emerging synthetic lethality targets.
[Novocure] Novocure announced that the US FDA approved Optune Pax® for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer concomitant with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel.
[Cell] The authors deciphered that sensory neurons, the dominant neuron type in the triple negative breast cancer ecosystem, drive the immune-excluded tumor microenvironment by stimulating a dense extracellular matrix.
[International Journal of Oral Science] Scientists revealed that loss of Gli3 alone in dental mesenchymal root progenitor cells caused shortened roots and that concurrent loss of Gli2 and Gli3 exacerbated root malformations, concomitant with profound impairments in cell proliferation and multilineage differentiation.
[Advanced Healthcare Materials] Researchers transfected bone MSCs with RUNX2 plasmid nanoparticles and encapsulated them into gelatin methacryloyl hydrogel microcarriers for bone regeneration.
[Stem Cell Research & Therapy] Investigators constructed endothelial progenitor cells/peripheral blood derived-MSCs sheets and evaluated their repair value and potential molecular mechanisms in bone regeneration.
