Preclinical models for sarcoma that preserve tumour biology are urgently needed to advance mechanistic understanding and functional precision oncology. 29 early‐passage patient‐derived sarcoma cell (PDC) cultures from 19 patients, representing 11 sarcoma subtypes were established and extensively characterized.

Exosome Secretion Drives Chemo‐Resistance of Temozolomide in Glioblastoma
ABSTRACT Temozolomide (TMZ) is a first‐line chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM), while a majority of patients do not effectively respond to TMZ owing to the multiple resistance mechanisms. In this study, we found that TMZ treatment substantially increased the exosome secretion from GBM cell line.

Conformational Coordination of Strand Passage by Type IIA and Type IIB Topoisomerases [PDF]
Topoisomerases are essential molecular machines that manage physical challenges presented by DNA topology. Life has evolved two classes of enzyme, type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases, which unlink entangled chromosomes by coordinating a complex, ATP ...

The influence of empty liposomes composed of cardiolipin (lipid which is a component of the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane and eukaryotic internal mitochondrial membrane) on Escherichia coli topoisomerase I and DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) in vitro was ...

ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing challenge in veterinary ophthalmology, particularly in cases of bacterial keratitis, where progressive stromal infection can threaten vision and globe integrity within hours to days. This review synthesizes current evidence on pathogen distribution, antimicrobial susceptibility profiles, multidrug ...

Optimisation of a Novel Class of DNA Gyrase Inhibitors to Improve Antibacterial Activity
This article describes efforts to increase the antibacterial activity of a recently reported class of novel DNA gyrase inhibitors known as the isoquinoline sulphonamides by improving their uptake in bacterial cells. As antibiotic resistance continues to rise, the need for new antibacterials is clear.

Studies on Type I and Type II DNA Topoisomerases From Mammalian Mitochondria
Mammalian mitochondria contain a unique DNA topoisomerase I with characteristics of both nuclear and bacterial type I DNA topoisomerases. This enzyme, purified from bovine liver, requires cations as cofactors and possesses optimal activity at pH 7.0, 37 ...

The DNA Cleavage Reaction of Human Type II Topoisomerases
The work presented in this dissertation examines the DNA cleavage activity of human topoisomerase II. Type II topoisomerases are required for removing DNA knots and tangles and are important chemotherapy drug targets.

Structural insight into the quinolone–DNA cleavage complex of type IIA topoisomerases
Type II topoisomerases alter DNA topology by forming a covalent DNA-cleavage complex that allows DNA transport through a double-stranded DNA break. We present the structures of cleavage complexes formed by the Streptococcus pneumoniae ParC breakage ...

Bacteria deploy a diverse arsenal of toxic effectors to antagonize competitors, profoundly influencing the composition of microbial communities. Previous studies have identified an interbacterial toxin predicted to exhibit proteolytic activity that is ...
