Genetic pathways, prevention, and treatment of sporadic colorectal cancer [PDF]
Epithelial cancer of the colon and rectum, also known as colorectal cancer (CRC), results from a progressive accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alterations that lead to uncontrolled growth of colonocytes, the cells lining the colon and rectum. CRC is

KDM2B/FBXL10 targets c-Fos for ubiquitylation and degradation in response to mitogenic stimulation. [PDF]
KDM2B (also known as FBXL10) controls stem cell self-renewal, somatic cell reprogramming and senescence, and tumorigenesis. KDM2B contains multiple functional domains, including a JmjC domain that catalyzes H3K36 demethylation and a CxxC zinc-finger that

A nucleotide‐independent, pan‐RAS‐targeted DARPin elicits anti‐tumor activity in a multimodal manner
We report a Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein that binds and inhibits RAS proteins, which serve as central cell signaling hubs and are essential for the progression of many cancers. Its unique feature is that it does not discriminate between different RAS isoforms or mutations and is capable of binding to RAS in both its active (GTP‐bound) and inactive ...

Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Membrane Protein Folding [PDF]
Understanding protein folding has been one of the great challenges in biochemistry and molecular biophysics. Over the past 50 years, many thermodynamic and kinetic studies have been performed addressing the stability of globular proteins. In comparison, advances in the membrane protein folding field lag far behind. Although membrane proteins constitute

Programmed cell death during neuronal development: the sympathetic neuron model. [PDF]
Developing sympathetic neurons of the superior cervical ganglion are one of the best studied models of neuronal apoptosis. These cells require nerve growth factor (NGF) for survival at the time that they innervate their final target tissues during late ...

KRAS mutations dynamically remodel the tumor microenvironment (TME), fostering immunosuppression, metabolic symbiosis, and stromal plasticity. This review dissects how oncogenic KRAS variants sculpt TME networks and explores actionable vulnerabilities. Emerging strategies combining KRAS inhibitors and TME‐editing approaches offer potential to dismantle

MEGADOCK-Web-Mito: human mitochondrial protein-protein interaction prediction database [PDF]
Mitochondrial diseases are largely caused by dysfunction in mitochondrial proteins. However, annotations of human mitochondrial proteins are scattered across various public databases and individual studies. To facilitate research aimed at elucidating mitochondrial functions, we constructed the MEGADOCK-Web-Mito database as a protein-protein interaction

Oncogenic B-RAFV600E Signaling Induces the T-Box3 Transcriptional Repressor to Repress E-Cadherin and Enhance Melanoma Cell Invasion [PDF]
Approximately 50% of melanomas require oncogenic B-RAFV600E signaling for proliferation, survival, and metastasis, and the use of highly selective B-RAF inhibitors has yielded remarkable, although short-term, clinical responses. Reactivation of signaling
