Bridging the gap: a genetically validated avian chorioallantoic membrane platform for investigation of spontaneous circulating tumor cells

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We established the avian chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay as a scalable in vivo model for studying circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Human gastrointestinal tumors spontaneously released genetically validated CTCs that were detected across multiple platforms, demonstrating that the CAM model provides an accessible tool for investigating early cancer ...

Endogenous Viral Etiology of Prion Diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), or prion diseases, are a group of incurable neurodegenerative disorders, including Kuru and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans, “mad cow” disease in cattle, and scrapie in sheep. This paper

Versatile vector tools for efficient protein screening across multiple expression systems

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
A unified vector toolkit enables rapid protein expression screening across E. coli, insect, and mammalian cells. A single primer pair amplifies the target gene, which is inserted into any vector via a standardized interface. This streamlined workflow eliminates repeated cloning steps, accelerating the identification of optimal expression conditions for

Differential Effect of Cytokines on CD4+ T-Cell Activation, Metabolism, and Susceptibility to HIV-1 Infection

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research
HIV-1 reservoirs are predominantly located in CD4+ T-cells; however, not all CD4+ T-cells contribute to the reservoir in the same way. Factors such as activation, differentiation, and cell metabolism have been proposed to determine the relative ...

The roles of HCV core protein and its binding host factor in virus assembly and release

open access: yesFrontiers in Virology
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a well-known virus that causes liver diseases such as liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. For several decades, numerous studies have been conducted to unravel the life cycle and molecular mechanisms of this virus with

Loss of AMBRA1 activates MAPK and angiogenesis signaling pathways in melanoma cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Loss of AMBRA1 in melanoma cells activates multiple oncogenic pathways associated with tumor progression. Transcriptomic and protein network analyses revealed that AMBRA1 depletion enhances MAPK/ERK signaling, angiogenesis, TGF‐β/EMT signaling, and Wnt/axon guidance pathways.

Evidence from COVID-19 Patients and Murine Studies for a Continuing Trend Towards Targeting of Nasopharyngeal Ciliated Epithelial Cells by SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Sublineages

open access: yesViruses
We describe RNA-Seq analyses conducted on nasopharyngeal swabs collected from 37 patients admitted to an Australian intensive care unit from October 2022 to August 2023. During this time, the dominant omicron sublineage infections broadly progressed from

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

LANA-specific CD4+ effector T cells accumulate at the site of KSHV infection in humanized mice

open access: yesNature Communications
Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infection is linked with the development of life-threatening malignancies in elderly and immunocompromised hosts, suggesting tight control of the infection by T cell responses. T cells against KSHV, however,

Importin 7 mediates the nuclear import of HIV‐1 integrase via a specific interacting interface

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
HIV‐1 integrase enables viral DNA integration into the host genome. By binding to the core domain of the host protein Importin 7 via its C‐terminal domain, the integrase is transported across the nuclear membrane into the nucleus, where integration of the viral genome into host DNA takes place. This translocation is a critical step for subsequent viral
