The nitty‐gritty of vascular permeability in cancer: targeting blood endothelium to control metastases

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Blood vascular permeability is a hallmark of cancer and acts as an active driver of metastatic dissemination. Metastasis accounts for the vast majority of cancer deaths, yet most work has focussed on tumour‐intrinsic traits and angiogenesis, while the specific contribution of endothelial barrier regulation to intravasation and extravasation remains ...

Inhibition of late sodium current prevents pathological hyperactivation of calcium/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase IIδ in a murine model of acute doxorubicin‐related cardiotoxicity

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Doxorubicin (DOX) is a highly effective anthracycline, whose clinical application for cancer is limited by cardiotoxicity. The mechanisms underlying doxorubicin‐induced toxic cardiomyopathy (DICM) involve electrophysiological remodelling with intracellular Na+ overload because of increased late INa and hyperactivation of

Potentiation effects of the positive allosteric modulator PTC‐174 on NMDA receptors in neonatal male rat substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Positive allosteric modulators bind to secondary binding sites on the receptor and alter receptor conformation and activation, changing agonist potency and efficacy. PTC‐174 is a novel NMDA receptor positive allosteric modulator that particularly enhances activity of receptors containing GluN2C or GluN2D subunits.

Natural product‐derived TRPM7 channel inhibitors in neurological injury: Mechanisms, pharmacological potential and translational challenges

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Disruption of intracellular ionic homeostasis is a convergent pathological feature across diverse neurological injuries and disorders, including ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke, hypoxic–ischaemic brain injury, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy and brain tumour.

The epigenetic landscape of skeletal muscle in response to exercise and aging

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Epigenetic mechanisms regulate gene expression in response to exercise and aging, thereby supporting skeletal muscle plasticity. Acute exercise induces chromatin remodeling through histone modifications and DNA methylation, promoting the expression of exercise‐responsive genes.

Structures of the UBR4 complex reveal a giant arena to capture diverse substrates for ubiquitin chain elongation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent structures of the UBR4 complex, a giant E4 ubiquitin ligase which recognizes proteins with pre‐existing ubiquitin modifications and marks them for degradation. The UBR4 complex uses a large arena lined with substrate interaction modules to select features on ubiquitinated substrates, such as the presence of N‐degrons or ...

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

The Imbalance Between Tumor Immunosurveillance and Tumor Immune Escape in Glioblastoma

open access: yesImmunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
(Left)The identification and elimination of tumour cells is enabled by the infiltration of functional innate and adaptive immune effectors into the TME, such as natural killer cells (NK cells) and cytotoxic T cells (CD8 T cells). Effective innate and adaptive immune responses facilitate immunological control of malignant outgrowth.

Revising NHE-1: From Cardiac Homeostasis to Heart Failure and Future Drug Development. [PDF]

open access: yesCell Biochem Funct
ABSTRACT NHE‐1 is a Na+/H+ exchanger that receives phosphorylation signals, binds calmodulin and responds to neurohormonal input from angiotensin II, endothelin‐1, and adrenergic pathways. In cardiac myocytes, NHE‐1 maintains pH homeostasis and couples to Na+/Ca2+ exchange and mitochondrial ion handling. During heart disease sustained activation drives
