Increased ATP production and P‐glycoprotein activity underlie the marked changes in blood–brain barrier transport of drugs in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and purpose Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are prescribed many medications for symptomatic relief. However, how potential alterations to the blood–brain barrier (BBB) affect the brain exposure of drugs in ALS remains under‐investigated. Experimental approach We used high‐dimensional proteomic analysis, cellular metabolism,

Nuclear destabilisation – a possible genesis of cancer?

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review examines the increasingly prominent role of mechanics within cancer formation and progression. The extremely varied and contradictory genetic landscape of cancer is in stark contrast to the seemingly universal mechanical characteristics of cancer cells and their tumour microenvironment, and mechanics may be a principal unifying ...

Impact of TP53, KRAS, and APC Mutations on Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Outcomes in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Genetic profiling of TP53, KRAS, and APC mutations reveals potential as predictors of neoadjuvant chemotherapy efficacy in locally advanced rectal cancer, aiding personalized treatment strategies to improve survival and reduce recurrence risks. ABSTRACT Despite recent advances in neoadjuvant strategies for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), optimal

Canonical and Non‐Canonical Functions of Histone H3K4 Methylation Modifiers in Cancer

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Histone H3K4‐modifying enzymes regulate gene expression and cellular processes critical to cancer development. Beyond their canonical roles, these enzymes also exhibit non‐catalytic and non‐histone functions, offering new opportunities for therapeutic intervention. ABSTRACT Histone H3K4 modifications are altered in the regulation of gene expression and

The Impact of Polyploid Giant Cancer Cells: The Root of Stress Resilience

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Among the diverse characteristics of polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) observed in various contexts, stress resilience is one of their key features, enabling survival and adaptation under harsh conditions. This review discusses the unique stress tolerance mechanisms of PGCCs and their implications for cancer progression, therapy resistance, and ...

Potassium–chloride cotransporter 2 activity dampens induced ictal‐like activity in neocortical slices containing the seizure propagation zone of temporal lobe epilepsy patients

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
The K⁺/Cl− cotransporter (KCC2) limits induced ictal‐like events and their spread in the supragranular layer of human neocortical slices from the seizure‐propagation zone of temporal lobe epilepsy patients. Cl⁻ extrusion is present in supragranular pyramidal neurons but limited under high somatic Cl⁻ load.

Short coiled‐coil proteins from plants and metazoans – the ‘jacks of all trades’

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Short coiled‐coil proteins from plants and metazoans—true ‘jacks of all trades’—play supporting but crucial roles in cellular stress response, metabolism, autophagy, and membrane dynamics. Despite their small size and modest sequence conservation, proteins like plant LSUs and metazoan SCOCs showcase remarkable functional versatility shaped by evolution,

Exploring the roles of conserved context‐dependent cis‐regulatory elements (cdCREs) in multicellularity, human health and disease

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Conserved context‐dependent cis‐regulatory elements act as a major reservoir of disease‐associated polymorphisms in the human genome and are also affected by epigenetic change. This ‘state‐of‐the‐art’ review explores the latest developments in studying these enigmatic elements and how the effects of disease‐associated polymorphisms and environmentally ...
