‘Guide and Prejudice’— How Argonautes recognize targets across domains of life
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Argonaute proteins use short nucleic‐acid guides to locate and regulate specific targets across all domains of life. Despite striking diversity—from human gene silencing to bacterial immune defence—all Argonautes share a conserved three‐stage recognition logic: guide‐directed sampling, progressive target pairing with a conformational checkpoint and ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

The effects of weight reduction to ideal body weight on body fat distribution
Metabolism, 1995 Obesity is a well-known health risk factor. Several studies have demonstrated that upper-body fat distribution plays a major role in the association between increased adiposity and metabolic disorders. The present study was undertaken to evaluate changes in intraabdominal and subcutaneous fat areas in obese subjects undergoing a weight reduction to ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...
