LRRK2 as a Potential Disease‐Modifying Target in Sporadic Parkinson's Disease
Abstract A growing understanding of the role that leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) plays in Parkinson's disease (PD) supports continued focus on this enzyme as a therapeutic target for PD. Accumulating evidence suggests that there are phenotypic, neuropathologic, and biological similarities between sporadic PD (sPD) and familial forms in which ...

ABSTRACT A plethora of cellular signaling pathways are dysregulated in cancer cells, promoting carcinogenesis and migration. Cholesterol has recently been linked to cancer by several subcellular mechanisms, especially by its involvement in the formation of lipid rafts, which promote oncogenic signaling and cancer cell invasion. Squalene synthase (SQS),

Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets
ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...

ABSTRACT Epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental, dynamic cellular process involved in embryonic development, metastasis, organ fibrosis, and tissue regeneration. To define the molecular landscape of secreted midbody remnants (MBRs) to the EMT process, a proteome analysis of MBRs released from Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells and
