Sec61 complex/translocon: The role of an atypical ER Ca2+-leak channel in health and disease
The heterotrimeric Sec61 protein complex forms the functional core of the so-called translocon that forms an aqueous channel in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The primary role of the Sec61 complex is to allow protein import in the ER during translation.

Signal transduction and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) in patients with colorectal cancer: associations with the phenotypic features of the tumour and host [PDF]
Purpose: In patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), a high-density local inflammatory infiltrate response is associated with improved survival, whereas elevated systemic inflammatory responses are associated with poor survival.

Amino Acid Activation of mTORC1 by a PB1-Domain-Driven Kinase Complex Cascade
The mTORC1 complex is central to the cellular response to changes in nutrient availability. The signaling adaptor p62 contributes to mTORC1 activation in response to amino acids and interacts with TRAF6, which is required for the translocation of mTORC1 ...

The convergence of radiation and immunogenic cell death signaling pathways. [PDF]
Ionizing radiation (IR) triggers programmed cell death in tumor cells through a variety of highly regulated processes. Radiation-induced tumor cell death has been studied extensively in vitro and is widely attributed to multiple distinct mechanisms ...

CDDO and ATRA Instigate Differentiation of IMR32 Human Neuroblastoma Cells
Neuroblastoma is the most common solid extra cranial tumor in infants. Improving the clinical outcome of children with aggressive tumors undergoing one of the multiple treatment options has been a major concern.

Renal papillary carcinoma developed in a kidney transplant recipient with late IgA-nephropathy [PDF]
With improvements in immunosuppressive therapy, patient and graft survival in renal transplant recipients have been prolonged. Increasing donor age and patient survival rates have been related to an increase in the number of de novo tumors ...

Notch signaling sustains the expression of Mcl-1 and the activity of eIF4E to promote cell survival in CLL [PDF]
In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), Notch1 and Notch2 signaling is constitutively activated and contributes to apoptosis resistance. We show that genetic inhibition of either Notch1 or Notch2, through small-interfering RNA, increases apoptosis of CLL ...

Tissue storage prior to intracerebral transplantation would represent a major advantage when conducting clinical transplantation trials in that the procurement of the embryonic donor tissue and the timing of neurosurgery could be planned more efficiently.

Active regulator of SIRT1 is required for cancer cell survival but not for SIRT1 activity [PDF]
The NAD+-dependent deacetylase SIRT1 is involved in diverse cellular processes, and has also been linked with multiple disease states. Among these, SIRT1 expression negatively correlates with cancer survival in both laboratory and clinical studies ...

Dementia is one among the consequences of aging, and amnesia is often one of the most common symptoms. The lack of memory, as a consequence of both “healthy” aging or neurodegenerative conditions, such as in Alzheimer’s disease, has a dramatic impact on ...
