The significant role of biophysics in cancer prevention: An overview [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
Cancer is a dynamic, multifaceted illness caused by the abnormal growth of cells. The affected cells developed uncontrollably and destroyed various tissues. This deadly disease has become an important health issue worldwide.

Structural snapshots of Xer recombination reveal activation by synaptic complex remodeling and DNA bending [PDF]

, 2016
Bacterial Xer site-specific recombinases play an essential genome maintenance role by unlinking chromosome multimers, but their mechanism of action has remained structurally uncharacterized. Here, we present two high-resolution structures of Helicobacter

Circulating tumor cell viability during and after radiotherapy mirrors treatment response in cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Radiotherapy (RT) response depends on the DNA repair capacity of tumor and host cells. We show that circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts and apoptosis rates before and after RT predict treatment response and outcome, which can be accessed via easily accessible liquid biopsy approaches. Created in BioRender. Wikman, H.

Long-range order and short-range disorder in Saccharomyces cerevisiae biofilm

Engineering Biology, 2019
Biofilm, a colony forming cooperative response of microorganisms under environmental stress, is a major concern for food safety, water safety and drug resistance. Most current works focus on controlling biofilm growth by targeting single genes. Here, the

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...

Constraint‐based models for dominating protein interaction networks

IET Systems Biology, 2021
The minimum dominating set (MDSet) comprises the smallest number of graph nodes, where other graph nodes are connected with at least one MDSet node. The MDSet has been successfully applied to extract proteins that control protein–protein interaction (PPI)

Structural insight into TPX2-stimulated microtubule assembly [PDF]

, 2017
During mitosis and meiosis, microtubule (MT) assembly is locally upregulated by the chromatin-dependent Ran-GTP pathway. One of its key targets is the MT-associated spindle assembly factor TPX2.

Exon 7 splicing of ERα predicts poor prognosis and increases phenotypic heterogeneity in luminal a subtype breast cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ERα splice variant ERα∆7 lacks the C‐terminus, and its expression may change phenotypes of breast cancers. Our results showed that ERα∆7 is found in the luminal A subtype, and elevated ERα∆7 levels are linked to improved cell survival with lower proliferation and migration.
