Brief Report: Medical Assistance in Dying in Patients With Lung Cancer

JTO Clinical and Research Reports, 2022
Introduction: Medical assistance in dying (MAiD) was legalized in Canada in 2016. Cancer accounts for 60% to 65% of MAiD cases. Lung cancer, the most common cause of cancer death, is expected to makeup a large number of MAiD cases.

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

The role of histone modifications in transcription regulation upon DNA damage

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review discusses the critical role of histone modifications in regulating gene expression during the DNA damage response (DDR). By modulating chromatin structure and recruiting repair factors, these post‐translational modifications fine‐tune transcriptional programmes to maintain genomic stability.

Assisted Dying in Canada: Ideology Masquerading as Medicine?

Canadian Journal of Bioethics
The Canadian medical assistance in dying (MAID) law is commonly understood as a type of medically-based euthanasia and/or assisted suicide (EAS) law. I argue it is instead an autonomy-only EAS regime masquerading as such.

Physicians who object to medical assistance in dying [PDF]

Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2018
This letter is in response to a recent CMAJ news article.[1][1] It bears emphasizing that freedom of conscience is not the freedom to do what one wants but to do what one must. It is a natural right which is enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but would exist as a right ...

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in
