Nature Communications, 2017 Inflammasomes are protein complexes induced by pathogens for the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 in immune cells. Here the authors show, using a new mouse model, that aberrant NLRC4 and ASC-dependent inflammasome activation in ...

A case report of multiple primary prostate tumors with differential drug sensitivity
Nature Communications, 2020 Prostate cancer is often a multifocal disease but how best to manage this clinically remains unclear. Here, the authors report a single case study of a patient with two genetically diverse tumours which showed differential response to therapy.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1999 An increasing number of neurodegenerative disorders have been found to be caused by expanding CAG triplet repeats that code for polyglutamine. Huntington's disease (HD) is the most common of these disorders and dentato-rubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) is very similar to HD, but is caused by mutation in a different gene, making them good models to ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Control of CD4+ T cells to restrain inflammatory diseases via eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase
Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2023 CD4+ T cells, particularly IL-17-secreting helper CD4+ T cells, play a central role in the inflammatory processes underlying autoimmune disorders. Eukaryotic Elongation Factor 2 Kinase (eEF2K) is pivotal in CD8+ T cells and has important implications in ...
