Modulation of plant autophagy during pathogen attack [PDF]
In plants, the highly conserved catabolic process of autophagy has long been known as a means of maintaining cellular homeostasis and coping with abiotic stress conditions. Accumulating evidence has linked autophagy to immunity against invading pathogens,

The Molecular Links between Cell Death and Inflammasome
Programmed cell death pathways and inflammasome activation pathways can be genetically and functionally separated. Inflammasomes are specialized protein complexes that process pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and IL-18 to ...

FAK acts as a suppressor of RTK-MAP kinase signalling in Drosophila melanogaster epithelia and human cancer cells [PDF]
Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) and Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) regulate multiple signalling pathways, including mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway. FAK interacts with several RTKs but little is known about how FAK regulates their downstream

Research Progress of Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 Therapy for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer with EGFR Mutation
The use of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) is the first line treatment for EGFR-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but drug resistance will be acquired within 1-2 years, and the following treatment

Critical Role of microRNA-21 in the Pathogenesis of Liver Diseases [PDF]
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that range in length from 18 to 24 nucleotides. As one of the most extensively studied microRNAs, microRNA-21 (miR-21) is highly expressed in many mammalian cell types.
