Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

Trophic factors as modulators of motor neuron physiology and survival: implications for ALS therapy
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014 Motor neuron physiology and development depend on a continuous and tightly regulated trophic support from a variety of cellular sources. Trophic factors guide the generation and positioning of motor neurons during every stage of the developmental process.

Phrenic Motor Neuron Survival Caudal to C2 Hemisection
The FASEB Journal, 2017 Cervical spinal injury (cSCI) severs descending brainstem projections to spinal respiratory motor neurons, paralyzing respiratory muscles caudal to injury. Spinal hemisection at C2 (C2Hx) has frequently been used as an experimental model of cSCI to study both spontaneous and induced functional recovery of both respiratory and non‐respiratory somatic ...

Emerging strategies to target metastasis and therapy resistance in melanoma
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Emerging studies propose new approaches to interfere with melanoma progression. In recognition of melanoma awareness month, at Molecular Oncology, we highlight recently published research articles, focusing on novel therapeutic targets driving metastatic spread and outlining different strategies to overcome resistance to BRAF inhibitors and anti‐PD‐1 ...

The critical role of membralin in postnatal motor neuron survival and disease
eLife, 2015 Hitherto, membralin has been a protein of unknown function. Here, we show that membralin mutant mice manifest a severe and early-onset motor neuron disease in an autosomal recessive manner, dying by postnatal day 5–6.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.A tri‐culture of iPSC‐derived neurons, astrocytes, and microglia treated with ferroptosis inducers as an Induced ferroptosis model was characterized by scRNA‐seq, cell survival, and cytokine release assays. This analysis revealed diverse microglial transcriptomic changes, indicating that the system captures key aspects of the complex cellular ...

AAV-based delivery of RNAi targeting ataxin-2 improves survival and pathology in TDP-43 mice
Nature CommunicationsAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) involves motor neuron death due to mislocalized TDP-43. Pathologic TDP-43 associates with stress granules (SGs), and lowering the SG-associated protein ataxin-2 (ATXN2) using Atxn2-targeting antisense oligonucleotides ...

Dapagliflozin prevents methylglyoxal‐induced retinal cell death in ARPE‐19 cells
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Diabetic macular oedema is a diabetes complication of the eye, which may lead to permanent blindness. ARPE‐19 are human retinal cells used to study retinal diseases and potential therapeutics. Methylglyoxal is a compound increased in uncontrolled diabetes due to elevated blood glucose.
