The role of extracellular vesicles in cell–cell crosstalk in cardiotoxicity
Abstract figure legend Administration of a pharmacological agent can result in off‐target cardiotoxicity which can be driven by cell–cell crosstalk between healthy and dysfunctional cardiac cells. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer structures that can move biological cargo between cells, facilitating cell–cell crosstalk.

Old dog, new trick: Charybdotoxin as a novel ryanodine receptor blocker
Abstract figure legend The peptide toxin charybdotoxin (ChTx) from the scorpion Leiurus quinquestriatus was tested on single‐channel currents of the ryanodine receptor incorporated into planar lipid bilayers. The structure–function relationship of ChTx was investigated using toxin variants generated by isosteric substitutions of the basic amino acids ...

ABSTRACT Resistance to chemotherapy, which is demonstrated in almost every patient with advanced‐stage lung cancer (ALC), underscores an urgent need to unravel the underlying molecular mechanisms and identify novel strategies to overcome drug resistance. In the present study, an attempt was made to identify epigenetic targets and modulators that can be

ABSTRACT Inherited factors account for a large share of breast cancer susceptibility, yet the biological consequences of most risk variants are still poorly understood. To address this gap, we studied 175 breast cancer risk variants confirmed by genome‐wide association studies and gathered the genes that lie near them.

Broadening horizons: Pathogenesis and therapeutics of renal ciliopathies
This review elucidates the molecular mechanisms and aberrant signaling pathways in renal ciliopathies, links genetic heterogeneity to clinical phenotypes, and lays a theoretical basis for prenatal diagnosis and novel therapies. Abstract Renal ciliopathies encompass a spectrum of genetic disorders arising from structural or functional impairments of ...

ABSTRACT The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is responsible for innervating all regions of the body outside of the central nervous system (CNS), the latter consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. While myelin is an essential component for the efficient functioning of both CNS and peripheral nerve cells, it is particularly important for ...
