The malleable brain: plasticity of neural circuits and behavior: A review from students to students [PDF]

, 2017
One of the most intriguing features of the brain is its ability to be malleable, allowing it to adapt continually to changes in the environment. Specific neuronal activity patterns drive long-lasting increases or decreases in the strength of synaptic ...

Validating an artificial organelle: Studies of lipid droplet-specific proteins on adiposome platform

iScience, 2021
Summary: New strategies are urgently needed to characterize the functions of the lipid droplet (LD). Here, adiposome, an artificial LD mimetic platform, was validated by comparative in vitro bioassays.

A quinolin-8-ol sub-millimolar inhibitor of UGGT, the ER glycoprotein folding quality control checkpoint

iScience, 2023
Summary: Misfolded glycoprotein recognition and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention are mediated by the ER glycoprotein folding quality control (ERQC) checkpoint enzyme, UDP-glucose glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT). UGGT modulation is a promising

Poroptosis: A form of cell death depending on plasma membrane nanopores formation

iScience, 2022
Summary: Immunogenic cell death (ICD) in malignant cells can decrease tumor burden and activate antitumor immune response to obtain lasting antitumor immunity, leading to the elimination of distant metastases and prevention of recurrence. Here, we reveal

BRCA1 mediates protein homeostasis through the ubiquitination of PERK and IRE1

iScience, 2022
Summary: Tumors with BRCA1 mutations have poor prognoses due to genomic instability. Yet this genomic instability has risks and BRCA1-deficient (def) cancer cells must develop pathways to mitigate these risks.

How chromosomal translocations arise to cause cancer: Gene proximity, trans-splicing, and DNA end joining

iScience, 2023
Summary: Chromosomal translocations (CTs) are a genetic hallmark of cancer. They could be identified as recurrent genetic aberrations in hemato-malignancies and solid tumors. More than 40% of all “cancer genes” were identified in recurrent CTs.

Drosophila as a model system to study nonautonomous mechanisms affecting tumour growth and cell death [PDF]

, 2018
The study of cancer has represented a central focus in medical research for over a century. The great complexity and constant evolution of the pathology require the use of multiple research model systems and interdisciplinary approaches.

A distant TANGO1 family member promotes vitellogenin export from the ER in C. elegans

iScience
Summary: Vitellogenin is thought to share a common ancestor with human apolipoprotein B (ApoB) for systemic lipid transport. In Caenorhabditis elegans, although a general route for inter-tissue vitellogenin transport has been described, the full ...
