Development of 4T1 breast cancer mouse model system for preclinical carbonic anhydrase IX studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) is a well‐recognised therapeutic target and prognostic biomarker in cancer. We developed and characterised a robust murine breast cancer model system that is suitable for CAIX studies in vitro and in vivo—it comprises both CAIX‐positive and CAIX‐negative controls and provides a solid platform for the comprehensive ...

Detecting disruption of HER2 membrane protein organization in cell membranes with nanoscale precision [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The spatio-temporal organization of proteins within the cell membrane can affect numerous biological functions, including cell signaling, communication, and transportation. Deviations from normal spatial arrangements have been observed in various diseases, and better understanding this process is a key stepping-stone to advancing development of ...

Current status of skin cancers with a focus on immunology and immunotherapy

Cancer Cell International, 2023
Skin cancer is one of the most widespread cancers, with a significant global health effect. UV-induced DNA damage in skin cells triggers them to grow and proliferate out of control, resulting in cancer development. Two common types of skin cancer include

Synchronized Pivots [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Thermodynamic profiles, based on bioinformatic hydropathicity scales and membrane-fitted sliding windows, exhibit accurately level sets of hydrophobic peaks or valleys in the constant fragment Fc of monoclonal antibodies. These sets provide a roadmap for selected short regions where a few directed amino acid mutations could produce either accelerated ...
