The Janus face of death receptor signalling during tumour immunoediting.
Frontiers in Immunology, 2016 Cancer immune-surveillance is essential for the inhibition of carcinogenesis. Malignantly transformed cells can be recognised by both the innate and adaptive immune systems through different mechanisms.

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

Molecular pharmacological characterisation of recombinant and native NR2B- and NR3B- containing NMDA receptors [PDF]
, 2008 NMDA receptors are ionotropic, glutamate receptors which mediate fast excitatory transmissions within the central nervous system. They form tetrameric or pentameric heterologous complexes from seven NMDA receptor subunits NRl, NR2A-D and NR3A-B which ...

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.

Purinergic receptors in skeletal muscles in health and in muscular dystrophy [PDF]
, 2014 The P2 purinergic (nucleotide) receptor super-family comprises of two families of protein. The P2X, which are channel-forming ionotropic receptors and the P2Y metabotropic receptors activating G protein-mediated signalling pathways.

MicroRNAs as regulators of death receptors signaling.
, 2010 Death receptors, belonging to the TNF receptor superfamily, induce apoptosis through two different pathways, one involving the effector caspases directly (type I cells or mitochondria-independent death), the other one amplifying the death signal through ...

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

ALTERED EXPRESSION AND FUNCTIONALITY OF A2A ADENOSINE RECEPTORS IN HUNTINGTON’S DISEASE AND OTHER POLYGLUTAMINE DISORDERS [PDF]
, 2009 Several studies have suggested the possible involvement of A2A adenosine receptors in the pathogenesis of neuronal disorders, including Huntington’s disease.

Role Of S-Nitrosylation In The Extrinsic Apoptotic Signalling Pathway In Cancer
Redox Biology, 2015 One of the key features of tumour cells is the acquisition of resistance to apoptosis. Thus, determining therapeutic strategies that circumvent apoptotic resistance and result in tumor regression is a challenge.
