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

British 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 ...

Smooth Muscle Excitation-Contraction Coupling: a Role for Caveolae and Caveolins?

, 2001
Agonist stimulation of smooth muscle contractility involves integration of many signal-transducing events from the plasma membrane to myofilaments in the cytoplasm. Recent evidence suggests an important role for membranous invaginations termed caveolae,

A Zeolitic Pyrimidine Framework (ZPF) Nanoplatform Co‐Delivers a DNAzyme and a Protein Prodrug for Cascade‐Activated Tumour Therapy

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
A zeolitic framework co‐delivers a DNAzyme and a protein prodrug to tumour cells and executes a self‐amplifying therapeutic cascade: the DNAzyme elevates tumour oxidative stress to activate a caged RNase A prodrug. This spatiotemporally controlled synergy converts a genetic input into potent enzymatic cytotoxicity, suppressing tumour growth.

Contribution of endosomal proteins EHD1 and EHD4 to the HIV‐1 replication cycle

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
EHD1 and EHD4, two key trafficking proteins, regulate multiple stages of HIV‐1 infection: In producer cells, they help produce fully infectious virus particles, regulate Envelope protein incorporation in a cell‐type‐dependent manner, and limit the accumulation of antiviral IFITM proteins in virions.

Regulation of Endoplasmic Reticulum–Mitochondria Ca2+ Transfer and Its Importance for Anti-Cancer Therapies

Frontiers in Oncology, 2017
Inter-organelle membrane contact sites are emerging as major sites for the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration and distribution. Here, extracellular stimuli operate on a wide array of channels, pumps, and ion exchangers to redistribute ...

Fasting serum annexin A2 is associated with peripheral insulin sensitivity and may enhance glucose uptake via Src‐dependent signaling

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Circulating Annexin A2 is positively associated with peripheral insulin sensitivity. ABSTRACT Background and Aim Subcellular annexin A2 (ANXA2) is known to regulate membrane dynamics and GLUT4 trafficking in adipocytes; however, the role of serum ANXA2 in glucose metabolism remains unclear.

Lipid droplet analysis in caveolin-deficient adipocytes: alterations in surface phospholipid composition and maturation defects[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Caveolins form plasmalemnal invaginated caveolae. They also locate around intracellular lipid droplets but their role in this location remains unclear. By studying primary adipocytes that highly express caveolin-1, we characterized the impact of caveolin-

European Consortium for Lipodystrophies consensus definition and classification framework for monogenic lipodystrophy

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Lipodystrophy comprises a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by reduced adipose tissue often associated with severe metabolic complications. Lipodystrophy may be genetic, acquired, or secondary to medical therapies initiated for other conditions.
