Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular 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 ...

S100B Protein as a Post-traumatic Biomarker for Prediction of Brain Death in Association With Patient Outcomes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: S100B is a calcium-binding protein, belonging to the S100 family proteins which are characterized by their high solubility and, currently, comprises 21 members which are expressed in a cell-specific manner.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Conjugate coupling induced symmetry breaking and quenched oscillations

open access: yes, 2018
Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is essential and plays a vital role many natural phenomena, including the formation of Turing pattern in organisms and complex patterns in brain dynamics.

ATG4B is required for mTORC1‐mediated anabolic activity and is associated with clinical outcomes in non‐small cell lung cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The relationship between anabolic and catabolic processes governing lung cancer cell growth is nuanced. We show that ATG4B, an autophagy regulator, is elevated in lung cancer and that high ATG4B is associated with worse patient outcomes. Targeting ATG4B in cells reduces growth, protein synthesis, and mTORC1 activity, demonstrating a new relationship ...

Respiratory‐like movements during an apnea test

open access: yesAcute Medicine & Surgery
Background Despite the possible occurrence of spontaneous movements during an apnea test, respiratory‐like movements are rare. Case Presentation A 51‐year‐old man was transferred to our hospital when a sudden disturbance of consciousness developed into ...

Computed Tomography Angiography as Ancillary Testing for Death Determination by Neurologic Criteria: A Technical Review

open access: yesTomography
The determination of death by neurological criteria (DNC) stands as a pivotal aspect of medical practice, involving a nuanced clinical diagnosis. Typically, it comes into play following a devastating brain injury, signalling the irreversible cessation of

Blocking Complement Factor B Activation Reduces Renal Injury and Inflammation in a Rat Brain Death Model

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Introduction: The majority of kidneys used for transplantation are retrieved from brain-dead organ donors. In brain death, the irreversible loss of brain functions results in hemodynamic instability, hormonal changes and immunological activation ...

Antibiofilm activity of a chionodracine‐derived peptide by NMR‐based metabolomics of cell‐free supernatant of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KHS‐Cnd peptide is able to impair biofilm formation and disaggregate mature biofilms in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. Differences in extracellular metabolites reflect changes in biofilm metabolism due to KHS‐Cnd treatment. Among the differentially represented extracellular metabolites upon KHS‐Cnd treatment, the significantly altered ...
