Apoptosis signaling by death receptors
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1998 Death receptors have been recently identified as a subgroup of the TNF‐receptor superfamily with a predominant function in induction of apoptosis. The receptors are characterized by an intracellular region, called the death domain, which is required for the transmission of the cytotoxic signal.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Glycans on death receptors as sweet markers and signaling checkpoints
Frontiers in Cell DeathApoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that eliminates excessive and damaged cells. It can be conducted by two ways: the extrinsic and the intrinsic (mitochondrial) pathways.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Function of BID - a molecule of the bcl-2 family - in ischemic cell death in the brain [PDF]
, 2002 Mitochondrial mechanisms, particularly the release of cytochrome c, play a role in the death of nerve and glial cells in cerebral ischemia. We have currently investigated whether BID, a proapoptotic molecule of the bcl-2 family and promoter of the ...

Heparan sulfate promotes TRAIL-induced tumor cell apoptosis
eLifeTRAIL (TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) is a potent inducer of tumor cell apoptosis through TRAIL receptors. While it has been previously pursued as a potential anti-tumor therapy, the enthusiasm subsided due to unsuccessful clinical trials and the

Molecules, 2020 Evidence suggests that programmed death receptor-1/programmed death ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) targeted inhibitors act as an immune checkpoint blockade, indicating that these compounds may be useful in cancer immunotherapy by inhibiting the immune response ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Nuclear receptor LRH-1/NR5A2 is required and targetable for liver endoplasmic reticulum stress resolution [PDF]
, 2014 Chronic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress results in toxicity that contributes to multiple human disorders. We report a stress resolution pathway initiated by the nuclear receptor LRH-1 that is independent of known unfolded protein response (UPR ...
