PLK4: Master Regulator of Centriole Duplication and Its Therapeutic Potential
ABSTRACT Centrosomes catalyze the assembly of a microtubule‐based bipolar spindle, essential for the precise chromosome segregation during cell division. At the center of this process lies Polo‐Like Kinase 4 (PLK4), the master regulator that controls the duplication of the centriolar core to ensure the correct balance of two centrosomes per dividing ...

Two PROTAC‐based degraders targeting the cancer‐associated transcriptional co‐activators CBP/p300 weredeveloped. These degraders, combining the CBP/p300 inhibitor C646 with the CRBN ligand thalidomide, reduced CBP/p300 levels in lymphoma cells at low‐micromolar concentration.

Beyond Docking: A Multi‐Tier Computational Pipeline for USP7 Inhibitor Optimization
Ubiquitin‐specific protease 7 (USP7) is a key deubiquitinating enzyme involved in tumor suppression, DNA repair, and epigenetic regulation. Given its critical role in cancer progression, USP7 has emerged as an attractive therapeutic target. In this study, we employed a multi‐tier computational approach, integrating ligand‐based virtual screening ...

Dynamic expression of lamin B1 during adult neurogenesis in the vertebrate brain
Abstract Background In mammals, specific brain regions such as the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus and the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricles harbor adult neural stem/progenitor cells (ANSPCs) that give rise to new neurons and contribute to structural and functional brain plasticity.

The link of FOXO1 and FOXO4 transcription factors to development of the lens
Abstract Background The FOXOs regulate the transcription of many genes, including ones directly linked to pathways required for lens development. However, this transcription factor family has rarely been studied in the context of development, including the development of the lens.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...
