Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Natural killer cells and IFN-γ protect against liver injury during HAV infection in mice

Journal of Virology
A limited number of studies on human subjects with type-A hepatitis have found a positive correlation between activated natural killer (NK) cell frequencies in blood and the severity of liver injury.

CLEC18A Impairs Phagocytosis by Reducing FcγRIIA Expression and Arresting Autophagosome-Lysosome Fusion

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) is a hepatitis C virus (HCV)–related extrahepatic manifestation that is characterized by the abnormal presence of immune complexes (ICs). This may be due to the reduced uptake and clearance of ICs. The C-type lectin member 18A

Epigenetic silencing of the liver‐specific lncRNA LUNAR promotes liver cancer progression via NOTCH activation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
LUNAR is a liver‐specific long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that is highly expressed in normal liver but becomes epigenetically silenced in hepatocellular carcinoma through promoter hypermethylation. Loss of LUNAR is associated with NOTCH activation, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, and metastasis, whereas restoring LUNAR restrains metastatic progression ...

Targeting Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Pembrolizumab-Induced Renal Injury: A Comparative Evaluation of the Protective Effects of Flunarizine and Carvacrol in Rats

Biomolecules
Background: Pembrolizumab, a programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitor, is widely employed in oncological practice; however, its propensity to induce nephrotoxicity through immune-mediated oxidative and inflammatory mechanisms remains an ...

Epigenetic reprogramming promotes the antiviral action of IFNα in HBV-infected cells

Cell Death Discovery, 2021
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections remain a health burden affecting ~250 million people worldwide. Thus far, available interferon-alpha (IFNα)-based therapies have shown unsatisfactory cure rates, and alternative therapeutic molecules are still ...

A new high-content screening assay of the entire hepatitis B virus life cycle identifies novel antivirals

JHEP Reports, 2021
Background & Aims: Chronic hepatitis B is an incurable disease. Addressing the unmet medical need for therapies has been hampered by a lack of suitable cell culture models to investigate the HBV life cycle in a single experimental setup. We sought to

Translating whole‐genome doubling into precision medicine in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Whole‐genome doubling creates a WGD‐positive tumor state characterized by persistent chromosomal instability, karyotypic diversification, and cellular stress. These same biological pressures drive aggressive tumor evolution while exposing therapeutic vulnerabilities, providing a rationale for WGD‐informed precision medicine. Whole‐genome doubling (WGD)

Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...

Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Inebilizumab Versus Rituximab in AQP4‐IgG‐Positive NMOSD

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Rituximab (anti‐CD20, RTX) and inebilizumab (anti‐CD19, INE) represent B‐cell‐depleting therapies used for aquaporin‐4 antibody‐positive (AQP4‐IgG+) neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD); however, direct comparative evidence remains limited.
