Tissue distribution and retention drives efficacy of rapidly clearing VHL-based PROTACs

Communications Medicine
Background Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are being developed for therapeutic use. However, they have poor pharmacokinetic profiles and their tissue distribution kinetics are not known. Methods A typical von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor (VHL)—

Transposable element expression in tumors is associated with immune infiltration and increased antigenicity

Nature Communications, 2019
Treatment with demethylation agents can reactivate transposable elements. Here in glioblastoma, the authors also show that this is accompanied by de novo presentation of TE-derived peptides on MHC class I molecules.

MICA immune complex formed with alpha 3 domain-specific antibody activates human NK cells in a Fc-dependent manner

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2019
Background One of the mechanisms by which tumors evade immune surveillance is through shedding of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I chain-related protein A and B (MICA/B) from their cell surface.

Accurate genome-wide phasing from IBD data

BMC Bioinformatics, 2022
As genotype databases increase in size, so too do the number of detectable segments of identity by descent (IBD): segments of the genome where two individuals share an identical copy of one of their two parental haplotypes, due to shared ancestry.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Repair of oxidatively-induced clustered DNA lesions, after exposure of human cancer cells to ionizing radiation

, 2017
In the present thesis, the induction and repair of complex DNA lesions, double strand breaks (DSBs) of high complexity accompanied by oxidatively-induced base lesions in their close vicinity were studied after exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) of ...

Apoptosis and DNA methylation [PDF]

, 2011
Epigenetic mechanisms assist in maintaining gene expression patterns and cellular properties in developing and adult tissues. The molecular pathology of disease states frequently includes perturbation of DNA and histone methylation patterns, which can ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.
