Network modelling reveals the mechanism underlying colitis-associated colon cancer and identifies novel combinatorial anti-cancer targets [PDF]
The connection between inflammation and tumourigenesis has been well established. However, the detailed molecular mechanism underlying inflammation-associated tumourigenesis remains unknown because this process involves a complex interplay between immune

Methods for Controlling Small GTPase Activity
This concept highlights recent and emerging methods for controlling small GTPase activity, encompassing both small‐molecule‐based approaches and protein engineering strategies. The use of these approaches to advance the understanding of small GTPase function, current limitations, and future outlook is discussed.

Refining the Protein-Protein Interactome using Gene Expression Data [PDF]
Proteins interact with other proteins within biological pathways, forming connected subgraphs in the protein-protein interactome (PPI). Proteins are often involved in multiple biological pathways which complicates interpretation of interactions between proteins.

Protein token: a dynamic unit in protein interactions [PDF]
In this study, we introduced a new unit, named "protein token", as a dynamic protein structural unit for protein-protein interactions. Unlike the conventional structural units, protein token is not based on the sequential or spatial arrangement of residues, but comprises remote residues involved in cooperative conformational changes during protein ...

The adaptor protein CRK is a pro-apoptotic transducer of endoplasmic reticulum stress. [PDF]
Excessive demands on the protein-folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) cause irremediable ER stress and contribute to cell loss in a number of cell degenerative diseases, including type 2 diabetes and neurodegeneration.

Comprehensive genetic and epigenetic characterization of Lynch‐like syndrome patients
What's New? Lynch‐like syndrome is associated with development of colorectal cancer (CRC) with microsatellite instability and loss of expression of certain mismatch repair (MMR) genes, similar to Lynch syndrome, but unlike Lynch syndrome, the genetic cause of Lynch‐like syndrome (LLS) remains unknown.

Abstract The skin, as the body's largest organ, plays essential roles in protection, immune regulation, and homeostasis. Skin trauma, especially chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers, poses significant clinical challenges. Traditional treatments, while often effective, can be costly and pose risks.
