Metal-organic framework-based hydrogel with structurally dynamic properties as a stimuli-responsive localized drug delivery system for cancer therapy

Dou Du, Xiaoxiao He, Can Zhang

Metal-organic framework (MOF) is an exciting class of porous biomaterials that have been considered as a carrier to store and deliver therapeutic drugs. However, similar to other nanomaterials, the application of MOF in clinical settings is still limited b ...

Aberrant hyperexpression of the RNA binding protein FMRP in tumors mediates immune evasion

Douglas Hanahan, Nadine Fournier, Krisztian Homicsko, Mélanie Louise Tichet, Mohammad Sadegh Saghafinia, Agnieszka Alicja Chryplewicz, Dalya Ataca, Qiqun Zeng, Jeremy Gilles Louis Guillot, Simge Yücel, Fleuriane Marie Tryskele Laurene Gallean, Inti Zlobec, Yuqing Xie, Peng Zhang, Lucine Christe

Many human cancers manifest the capability to circumvent attack by the adaptive immune system. In this work, we identified a component of immune evasion that involves frequent up-regulation of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) in solid tumors. FM ...

Human reproduction is regulated by retrotransposons derived from ancient Hominidae-specific viral infections

Didier Trono, Julien Paul André Pontis, Yu Tao

The transcription factor network required for primordial germ cell (PGC) specification is known to diverge in mammals. Here the authors show that hominidae-specific transposable element (TE) LTR5Hs becomes transcriptionally active during PGC specification, ...

Regulation of Src tumor activity by its N-terminal intrinsically disordered region

Romain Hamelin, Florence Armand

The membrane-anchored Src tyrosine kinase is involved in numerous pathways and its deregulation is involved in human cancer. Our knowledge on Src regulation relies on crystallography, which revealed intramolecular interactions to control active Src conform ...

Feasibility Study of GaToroid Gantries for Carbon Ions

Bertrand Dutoit, Luca Bottura, Enrico Felcini, Bertrand Dutoit

The use of carbon ions in particle therapy can enhance the treatment quality, introducing higher biological effectiveness compared to photons and protons. Rotating gantries are nowadays used to deliver particle beams from different directions to obtain pre ...

Intraductal xenografts model estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer dormancy and reveal a critical role for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in its establishment

Patrik Aouad

Compared to estrogen receptor-negative (ER-) breast cancer (BC), ER+ BC often manifests with a latent disease that recurs decades after initial diagnosis. The mechanisms governing dormancy and distant recurrence of ER+ tumors remain elusive due to the lack ...

Cell-autonomous inflammation of BRCA1-deficient ovarian cancers drives both tumor-intrinsic immunoreactivity and immune resistance via STING

Julien Dorier, George Coukos, Christian Iseli, Mauro Delorenzi, Alizée Jéléna Grimm, Giovanni Ciriello, Alexandre Harari, Marco Mina

In this study, we investigate mechanisms leading to inflammation and immunoreactivity in ovarian tumors with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). BRCA1 loss is found to lead to transcriptional reprogramming in tumor cells and cell-intrinsic inflammat ...

Cytokine engineering for targeted cancer immunotherapy

Li Tang, Lucia Bonati

Cytokines are key modulators of the immune responses and represent promising therapeutics for a variety of cancers. However, successful translation of cytokine-based therapy to the clinic is limited by, among others, severe toxicities and lack of efficacy ...

Expression of E-Cadherin in Epithelial Cancer Cells Increases Cell Motility and Directionality through the Localization of ZO-1 during Collective Cell Migration

Hwanseok Jang

Collective cell migration of epithelial tumor cells is one of the important factors for elucidating cancer metastasis and developing novel drugs for cancer treatment. Especially, new roles of E-cadherin in cancer migration and metastasis, beyond the epithe ...

Genomic Instability Profiles at the Single Cell Level in Mouse Colorectal Cancers of Defined Genotypes

Maxim Norkin, Jörg Hülsken, Paloma Ordonez Moran

The genomes of many human CRCs have been sequenced, revealing a large number of genetic alterations. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the accumulation of these alterations are still being debated. In this study, we examined colorectal tumours t ...
