Expression of the oncogenes mil and ras abolishes the in vivo differentiation of mammary epithelial cells [PDF]
Three carcinoma-associated oncogenes, two of which have been strongly implicated in human mammary tumorigenesis, have been introduced into a novel mouse mammary epithelial cell line, EF43, that retains many differentiated functions.

Cell cycle-dependent activation of Ras [PDF]
Background Ras proteins play an essential role in the transduction of signals from a wide range of cell-surface receptors to the nucleus. These signals may promote cellular proliferation or differentiation, depending on the cell background.

Impact of organic pollutants on phenotype and gene expression in human breast cancer cells
ABSTRACT Human exposure to industrial chemical compounds is widespread and, although often beneficial, prolonged contact may contribute to disease development, including cancer. While many studies have shown organic pollutants (OP) are cytotoxic, few have explored how long‐term exposure alters cell phenotype.

Action and function of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in the progression from chronic hepatitis C to hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the leading causes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide but the mechanistic basis as to how chronic HCV infection furthers the HCC process remains only poorly understood.

CRISPR Enabled Precision Oncology: From Gene Editing to Tumor Microenvironment Remodeling
CRISPR technology has progressed from a prokaryotic immune system to a diverse suite of editing platforms, including Cas nucleases, base and prime editors, and RNA‐targeting enzymes. These advances enable precise genomic and epigenomic interventions, high‐throughput functional screening, and immune engineering.

Liver Steatosis in Induced Hepatocytes From Carriers of Spinal Muscular Atrophy
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Although classically characterized as a motor neuron disease, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is increasingly recognized as a multisystem disorder. We previously showed hepatocyte‐intrinsic steatosis in SMA, raising the question of whether SMA carriers, who are typically asymptomatic, may also exhibit subclinical hepatic ...

Novel mechanisms of resistance to vemurafenib in melanoma – V600E B-Raf reversion and switching VEGF-A splice isoform expression [PDF]
Targeting activating mutations in the proto-oncogene B-Raf, in melanoma, has led to increases in progression free survival. Treatment with vemurafenib, which inhibits the most common activating-mutated form of B-Raf (B-RafV600E), eventually results in ...

This proteomic study examines how nanofibers affect lung macrophages by analyzing protein changes following exposure to various fibrous materials. Nanofibers triggered the release of inflammatory enzymes, and importantly, lysosomal content release was identified as an early event associated with frustrated phagocytosis. Seventeen sensitive and relevant

IAPs on the move : role of inhibitors of apoptosis proteins in cell migration [PDF]
Inhibitors of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs) are a class of highly conserved proteins predominantly known for the regulation of caspases and immune signaling. However, recent evidence suggests a crucial role for these molecules in the regulation of tumor cell
