ER-mitochondria contact sites; a multifaceted factory for Ca2+ signaling and lipid transport
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Membrane contact sites (MCS) between organelles of eukaryotic cells provide structural integrity and promote organelle homeostasis by facilitating intracellular signaling, exchange of ions, metabolites and lipids and membrane dynamics.

Zinc Finger Transcription Factor MZF1—A Specific Regulator of Cancer Invasion
Cells, 2020 Over 90% of cancer deaths are due to cancer cells metastasizing into other organs. Invasion is a prerequisite for metastasis formation. Thus, inhibition of invasion can be an efficient way to prevent disease progression in these patients.

Trial watch: Immunogenic cell death induction by anticancer chemotherapeutics
OncoImmunology, 2017 The expression “immunogenic cell death” (ICD) refers to a functionally unique form of cell death that facilitates (instead of suppressing) a T cell-dependent immune response specific for dead cell-derived antigens. ICD critically relies on the activation

Plasma membrane integrity in health and disease: significance and therapeutic potential
Cell Discovery, 2021 Maintenance of plasma membrane integrity is essential for normal cell viability and function. Thus, robust membrane repair mechanisms have evolved to counteract the eminent threat of a torn plasma membrane.

Degradation of Bcl-2 by XIAP and ARTS Promotes Apoptosis
Cell Reports, 2017 Summary: We describe a mechanism by which the anti-apoptotic B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) protein is downregulated to induce apoptosis. ARTS (Sept4_i2) is a tumor suppressor protein that promotes cell death through specifically antagonizing XIAP (X-linked ...

Killing by Degradation: Regulation of Apoptosis by the Ubiquitin-Proteasome-System
Cells, 2021 Apoptosis is a cell suicide process that is essential for development, tissue homeostasis and human health. Impaired apoptosis is associated with a variety of human diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, autoimmunity and cancer.

LUBAC prevents lethal dermatitis by inhibiting cell death induced by TNF, TRAIL and CD95L
Nature Communications, 2018 TNF mediated inflammation is critical in autoimmune mediated pathology, however many patients are refractory to current anti-TNF therapeutics. Here the authors show induction of several death ligands, in addition to TNF is sufficient to cause fatal ...
