Telomere Length, Proviral Load and Neurologic Impairment in HTLV-1 and HTLV-2-Infected Subjects. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Short or damaged telomeres have been implicated in degenerative conditions. We hypothesized that analysis of telomere length (TL) in human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) infection and HTLV-associated neuropathy might provide clues to the etiology of ...

In vitro models of cancer‐associated fibroblast heterogeneity uncover subtype‐specific effects of CRISPR perturbations

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 5, Page 1253-1269, May 2026.
Development of therapies targeting cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) necessitates preclinical model systems that faithfully represent CAF–tumor biology. We established an in vitro coculture system of patient‐derived pancreatic CAFs and tumor cell lines and demonstrated its recapitulation of primary CAF–tumor biology with single‐cell transcriptomics ...

RIF1 promotes human epithelial ovarian cancer growth and progression via activating human telomerase reverse transcriptase expression

open access: yesJournal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2018
Background Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is highly expressed in over 80% of tumors, including human epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). However, the mechanisms through which hTERT is up-regulated in EOC and promotes tumor progression remain

Gene-specific methylation profiles in BRCA-mutation positive and BRCA-mutation negative male breast cancers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Male breast cancer (MBC) is a rare disease. Due to its rarity, MBC research and clinical approach are mostly based upon data derived from female breast cancer (FBC). Increasing evidence indicate that on molecular level MBC may be an heterogeneous disease

An Improved Model for the hTERT Promoter Quadruplex

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Mutations occur at four specific sites in the hTERT promoter in >75% of glioblastomas and melanomas, but the mechanism by which the mutations affect gene expression remains unexplained. We report biophysical computational studies that show that the hTERT promoter sequence forms a novel G-quadruplex structure consisting of three contiguous, stacked ...

Spatiotemporal Organization of PTK7 Diffusion on Cell Surface Facilitates Tumor Invasion and Migration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
The spatiotemporal dynamics of protein kinase diffusion govern cellular signaling and functions. Although vital for active receptors, the role of pseudokinase dynamics is unclear. Here, we use single‐molecule tracking to link faster diffusion of pseudokinase PTK7 to increased tumor cell invasion and migration.

Human Adipose Stem Cells Engineered to Express Carboxylesterase Confer Anti-Tumoral Efficacy of Irinotecan in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Bone Metastasis Growth and Osteolysis

open access: yesThe World Journal of Men's Health
Purpose: Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) presents a significant clinical challenge, particularly when it metastasizes to bone, leading to skeletal-related events such as osteolysis.

Specific association between the methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2 and the hypermethylated region of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter in cancer cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is expressed in most cancer cells. Paradoxically, its promoter is embedded in a hypermethylated CpG island. A short region escapes to this alteration, allowing a basal level of transcription.

Beyond Extracellular Vesicle (EV) Hype: Practical Solutions and Remaining Hurdles in EV Research, Manufacturing, and Clinical Translation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale mediators of intercellular communication with diverse molecular cargoes that reflect their cell of origin. Advances in isolation, detection, and single‐particle analytics have revealed increasing molecular and functional heterogeneity, while exposing limitations in how EV identity and activity are ...
