Accurate Prediction of Drug Activity by Computational Methods: Importance of Thermal Capacity
Heat capacity is one of the most important thermodynamic quantities in protein biochemistry. Upon the binding of small molecules, a change in the heat capacity of proteins is generally observed, and this is often used in drug discovery.

Human Cytomegalovirus glycoprotein UL16 causes intracellular sequestration of NKG2D ligands, protecting against NK cell cytotoxicity. [PDF]
The activating receptor, NKG2D, is expressed on a variety of immune effector cells and recognizes divergent families of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-related ligands, including the MIC and ULBP proteins.

Dual targeting of RET and SRC synergizes in RET fusion‐positive cancer cells
Despite the strong activity of selective RET tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), resistance of RET fusion‐positive (RET+) lung cancer and thyroid cancer frequently occurs and is mainly driven by RET‐independent bypass mechanisms. Son et al. show that SRC TKIs significantly inhibit PAK and AKT survival signaling and enhance the efficacy of RET TKIs in ...

Diffusion and the physics of chemoreception [PDF]
This review provides a manual which enables the reader to perform calculations on the rate with which a biological cell can capture certain chemical compounds (ligands) which are essential to its survival and which diffuse in its environment.

The noncoding region of the genome plays a key role in regulating gene expression, and mutations within these regions are capable of altering it. Researchers have identified multiple functional noncoding mutations associated with increased cancer risk in the genome of breast cancer patients.

Synchronous and symmetric migration of Drosophila caudal visceral mesoderm cells requires dual input by two FGF ligands [PDF]
Caudal visceral mesoderm (CVM) cells migrate synchronously towards the anterior of the Drosophila embryo as two distinct groups located on each side of the body, in order to specify longitudinal muscles that ensheath the gut.
