Unlocking the potential of tumor‐derived DNA in urine for cancer detection: methodological challenges and opportunities

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...

A new mechanism of respiratory syncytial virus entry inhibition by small-molecule to overcome K394R-associated resistance

open access: yesmBio
Infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of acute lower respiratory tract disease in young children and older people. Despite intensive efforts over the past few decades, no direct-acting small-molecule agents against RSV are ...

Breaking In: Human Metapneumovirus Fusion and Entry

open access: yesViruses, 2013
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a leading cause of respiratory infection that causes upper airway and severe lower respiratory tract infections. HMPV infection is initiated by viral surface glycoproteins that attach to cellular receptors and mediate ...

Bidirectional Hierarchical Protein Multi-Modal Representation Learning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Protein representation learning is critical for numerous biological tasks. Recently, large transformer-based protein language models (pLMs) pretrained on large scale protein sequences have demonstrated significant success in sequence-based tasks. However, pLMs lack structural information. Conversely, graph neural networks (GNNs) designed to leverage 3D

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

On the origin and diversity of Newcastle disease virus in Tanzania

open access: yesOnderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2011
Free-range rural chickens (FRCs) dominate the poultry industry in developing countries and chickens are exposed to multi-host infections, including Newcastle disease virus (NDV). The knowledge about the characteristics of NDV from FRCs is limited. This
