MET variants in the N‐lobe of the kinase domain, found in hereditary papillary renal cell carcinoma, require ligand stimulation to promote cell transformation, in contrast to other RTK variants. This suggests that HGF expression in the microenvironment is important for tumor growth in such patients. Their sensitivity to MET inhibitors opens the way for

A Sequential Test Algorithm for DNA Pooling/ Bootstrap-Based Studies
DNA pooling is a practical way to reduce the cost of large-scale association studies to identify susceptibility loci. In contrast to individual genotyping, in DNA pooling we can combine samples from N cases and M controls into two single pooled sample ...

Role of distal enhancers in shaping 3D-folding patterns and defining human-specific features of interphase chromatin architecture in embryonic stem cells [PDF]
Molecular and genetic definitions of human-specific changes to genomic regulatory networks (GRNs) contributing to development of unique to human phenotypes remain a highly significant challenge. Genome-wide proximity placement analysis of diverse families of human-specific genomic regulatory loci (HSGRL) identified topologically-associating domains ...

Criminal Protection of Human Genome “Human Gene Editing as a Model”
الحماية القانونية للجينوم البشري تعد قضية أخلاقية تتعلق بمستقبل الوجود البشري، بعد الكشف عن الخريطة الجينية البشرية، ازدادت التجارب العلمية والبحوث المتعلقة بالجينوم البشري، وخاصة التطبيقات السلبية للهندسة الوراثية التي تنتهك حقوق الإنسان الاساسية، لا ...

The complex mode of action of the topoisomerase II inhibitor etoposide in triggering apoptosis involves several mechanisms: overexpression of the mitochondrial protein VDAC1, leading to its oligomerization and formation of a large channel that mediates the release of pro‐apoptotic protein; and overexpression of the apoptosis regulators p53, Bax, and ...

NAD+ regeneration by mitochondrial complex I NADH dehydrogenase is important for cancer cell proliferation. Specifically, NAD+ is necessary for the activities of NAD+‐dependent deacetylases SIRT3 and SIRT7, which suppress the expression of p21Cip1 cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor, an antiproliferative molecule, at the translational and transcriptional

Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and tumor‐infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are associated with early breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). This study evaluated EMT and TIL shifts, with immunofluorescence and RNA sequencing, at diagnosis and in residual tumors as potential biomarkers associated with treatment response.

Molecular and functional profiling unravels targetable vulnerabilities in colorectal cancer
We used whole exome and RNA‐sequencing to profile divergent genomic and transcriptomic landscapes of microsatellite stable (MSS) and microsatellite instable (MSI) colorectal cancer. Alterations were classified using a computational score for integrative cancer variant annotation and prioritization.

Towards a core genome: pairwise similarity searches on interspecific genomic data [PDF]
The phenomenon of gene conservation is an interesting evolutionary problem related to speciation and adaptation. Conserved genes are acted upon in evolution in a way that preserves their function despite other structural and functional changes going on around them.

Large-scale discovery of enhancers from human heart tissue. [PDF]
Development and function of the human heart depend on the dynamic control of tissue-specific gene expression by distant-acting transcriptional enhancers.
