Transcription‐Replication Conflicts: Unlocking New Frontiers in Cancer

open access: yesBioEssays, EarlyView.
Transcription‐replication conflicts (TRCs) constitute a major source of genome instability. Such conflicts are regulated by chromatin, its dysfunction causing replication stress, DNA breaks, and mutations frequently found in cancer. We review the molecular basis of TRCs and chromatin regulation and discuss the clinical potential of targeting TRCs as ...

Chromosome study in Schistocerca (Orthoptera-Acrididae-Cyrtacanthacridinae): karyotypes and distribution patterns of constitutive heterochromatin and nucleolus organizer regions (NORs)

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2007
Chromosome analyses were performed in two grasshopper species of the genus Schistocerca, S. pallens and S. flavofasciata. Both species shared the same diploid number (2n = 23, X in males; 2n = 24, XX in females);and a conserved karyotype composed ...

Unveiling the complexity of cellular senescence in cancers: From mechanism to therapeutic opportunities

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights the complex roles of cellular senescence in cancer progression and suppression, discusses the mechanisms and regulatory pathways involved, and evaluates the efficacy of the “One‐Two punch” sequential treatment approach while addressing emerging challenges in this novel therapeutic strategy.

Therapeutic targeting of chromatin alterations in leukemia and solid tumors

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Alterations in chromatin conformation and post‐translational modification of histones have become increasingly recognized as critical drivers of cancer development, progression, and therapy resistance. Recent advances in drug development have led to the establishment of several highly selective small molecule inhibitors, several of which are ...

Constitutive heterochromatin polymorphisms in human chromosomes identified by whole comparative genomic hybridization

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Histochemistry, 2011
Whole comparative genomic hybridization (W-CGH) is a new technique that reveals cryptic differences in highly repetitive DNA sequences, when different genomes are compared using metaphase or interphase chromosomes.

Identification of methotrexate as a heterochromatin-promoting drug. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Heterochromatin is a tightly packed form of DNA involved in gene silencing, chromosome segregation, and protection of genome stability. Heterochromatin is becoming more recognized in tumor suppression and may thus serve as a potential target for cancer ...

Local enrichment of HP1alpha at telomeres alters their structure and regulation of telomere protection. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Enhanced telomere maintenance is evident in malignant cancers. While telomeres are thought to be inherently heterochromatic, detailed mechanisms of how epigenetic modifications impact telomere protection and structures are largely unknown in human ...

The Antiviral Activity of Polyphenols

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Polyphenols demonstrate remarkable antiviral properties by effectively disrupting multiple biochemical processes essential for viral replication. ABSTRACT Polyphenols are secondary metabolites produced by a large variety of plants. These compounds that comprise the class of phenolic acids, stilbenes, lignans, coumarins, flavonoids, and tannins have a ...

Positional changes of pericentromeric heterochromatin and nucleoli in postmitotic Purkinje cells during murine cerebellum development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Previous studies revealed changes of pericentromeric heterochromatin arrangements in postmitotic Purkinje cells (PCs) during postnatal development in the mouse cerebellum (Manuelidis, 1985; Martou and De Boni, 2000). Here, we performed vibratome sections

Key Regulators of Parasite Biology Viewed Through a Post‐Translational Modification Repertoire

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parasites are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens worldwide. Controlling parasitic diseases has become one of the key issues in achieving “One Health”. Most parasites have sophisticated life cycles exhibiting progressive developmental stages, morphologies, and ...
