Expression of Glycoprotein B (gB) Correlates With Poor Prognosis in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
The extent of EBV lytic replication in NPC has not been fully clarified. Our study demonstrated EBV replication and release in NPC and identified a significant association between expression of the late lytic protein gB and poor prognosis. These findings suggest that late lytic gene products may contribute to tumor progression and that gB represents a ...

Newly identified properties of known pharmaceuticals and myxobacterial small molecules revealed by screening for autophagy modulators

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Autophagy is a cellular degradation process involved in, for example, immune responses to pathogens and neurodegeneration. To identify modulators of autophagy, we developed a microscopy‐based screening assay and identified previously unknown autophagy‐modulating activities in known drugs and natural products from myxobacteria and fungi.
