T Cell Exhaustion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Substantial Barrier in Immunotherapy
ABSTRACT Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), accounting for over 90% of primary liver cancers, remains a major global challenge for healthcare professionals. While immunotherapy has transformed the landscape of cancer treatment, its success is often limited by immune resistance, particularly through T cell exhaustion which remains a major barrier to ...

FXYD2 marks and regulates maturity of β cells via ion channel-mediated signal transduction
Human pancreatic islets regulate organ development and metabolic homeostasis, with dysfunction leading to diabetes. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provide a potential alternative source to cadaveric human pancreatic islets for replacement therapy ...

Transcriptional outputs and condensates – formation and function
Summary The dynamic spatiotemporal organization of macromolecules is key to the proper function of the cell, allowing the exquisite regulation of diverse processes from gene expression to enzymatic function. The formation of biomolecular condensates via phase separation (PS) acts as a general mechanism for selectively concentrating proteins, nucleic ...

The ErbB2ΔEx16 splice variant is a major oncogenic driver in breast cancer that promotes a pro-metastatic tumor microenvironment. [PDF]
Amplification and overexpression of erbB2/neu proto-oncogene is observed in 20-30% human breast cancer and is inversely correlated with the survival of the patient. Despite this, somatic activating mutations within erbB2 in human breast cancers are rare.
