RNF8 Ubiquitylation of XRN2 Facilitates R-loop Resolution and Restrains Genomic Instability in BRCA1 Mutant Cells
Investigators sought to identify novel targets to selectively kill BRCA1-mutant cancers. They reported that loss of RNF8 significantly protected Brca1-mutant mice against mammary tumorigenesis.
[Cell & Bioscience] Scientists demonstrated that CDK1 was correlated with prognosis and was highly expressed in pancreatic cancer tissue and gemcitabine-resistant cells
[Acta Biomaterialia] Researchers demonstrated that incorporating human pancreatic decellularized extracellular matrix within alginate microcapsules resulted in a significant increase in Glucose Stimulation Index and total insulin secreted by encapsulated human islets, compared to free islets and islets encapsulated in only alginate.
[Cancer Letters] In vivo and in vitro experiments revealed that FABP4 induced macrophage-related inflammation to promote pancreatic cancer cell migration, invasion, and metastasis under obese condition.
