Targeting lysosomal quality control as a therapeutic strategy against aging and diseases
Abstract Previously, lysosomes were primarily referred to as the digestive organelles and recycling centers within cells. Recent discoveries have expanded the lysosomal functional scope and revealed their critical roles in nutrient sensing, epigenetic regulation, plasma membrane repair, lipid transport, ion homeostasis, and cellular stress response ...

Targeting factor XIIa for therapeutic interference with hereditary angioedema
Abstract Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare, potentially life‐threatening genetic disorder characterized by recurrent attacks of swelling. Local vasodilation and vascular leakage are stimulated by the vasoactive peptide bradykinin, which is excessively produced due to dysregulation of the activated factor XII (FXIIa)‐driven kallikrein–kinin system ...

Myoferlin controls mitochondrial structure in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and affects tumor aggressiveness [PDF]
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common type of pancreatic cancer, and the third leading cause of cancer related death. Therapeutic options remain very limited and are still based on classical chemotherapies.

Structural Basis for the Distinct Membrane Binding Activity of the Homologous C2A Domains of Myoferlin and Dysferlin [PDF]
International audienceDysferlin has been implicated in acute membrane repair processes, whereas myoferlin's activity is maximal during the myoblast fusion stage of early skeletal muscle cell development.

Cancer EV stimulate endothelial glycolysis to fuel protein synthesis via mTOR and AMPKα activation
Abstract Hypoxia is a common feature of solid tumours and activates adaptation mechanisms in cancer cells that induce therapy resistance and has profound effects on cellular metabolism. As such, hypoxia is an important contributor to cancer progression and is associated with a poor prognosis.

Human colon cancer cells highly express myoferlin to maintain a fit mitochondrial network and escape p53-driven apoptosis. [PDF]
peer reviewedColon adenocarcinoma is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second deadliest one. Metabolic reprogramming, described as an emerging hallmark of malignant cells, includes the predominant use of glycolysis to produce energy ...

Mitochondrial fusion–fission dynamics and its involvement in colorectal cancer
Disruption of the mitochondrial fusion–fission dynamics balance plays a dual role in colorectal cancer development. Mitochondrial fission promotes cancer cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and chemoresistance, while excessive fission induces apoptosis.

On the role of dysferlin in striated muscle: membrane repair, t‐tubules and Ca2+ handling
Abstract figure legend Cardiac and skeletal muscle share many structural and functional similarities and are both classified as striated muscle. Dysferlin plays a diverse role in supporting healthy striated muscle physiology. Due to its protective and regenerative capabilities, dysferlin is particularly important in response to muscle stress or damage.
