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

Douglas Hanahan, Nadine Fournier, Mélanie Louise Tichet, Krisztian Homicsko, Agnieszka Alicja Chryplewicz, Mohammad Sadegh Saghafinia, Yuqing Xie, Dalya Ataca, Qiqun Zeng, Jeremy Gilles Louis Guillot, Simge Yücel

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 ...

GCN2 adapts protein synthesis to scavenging-dependent growth

Hsin-Jung Li

Pancreatic cancer cells with limited access to free amino acids can grow by scavenging extracellular protein. In a murine model of pancreatic cancer, we performed a genome-wide CRISPR screen for genes required for scavenging-dependent growth. The screen id ...

Generating macrocyclic inhibitors of protein-protein interactions

Gontran Sangouard

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play important roles in many diseases and their modulation is an attractive strategy for developing new therapeutics. However, the relatively large and often flat binding surfaces of PPIs makes the development of inhibit ...

Value of T-2 Mapping MRI for Prostate Cancer Detection and Classification

Tom Hilbert

Background Currently, multi-parametric prostate MRI (mpMRI) consists of a qualitative T-2, diffusion weighted, and dynamic contrast enhanced imaging. Quantification of T-2 imaging might further standardize PCa detection and support artificial intelligence ...

Point-of-care ultrasound for tuberculosis management in Sub-Saharan Africa-a balanced SWOT analysis

Mary-Anne Hartley

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an increasingly accessible skill, allowing for the decentralization of its use to nonspecialist healthcare workers to guide routine clinical decision-making. The advent of ultrasound-on-a-chip has transformed the technol ...

Using Dynamic Features for Automatic Cervical Precancer Detection

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Roser Vinals Terres, Mohammad Saeed Rad

Cervical cancer remains a major public health concern in developing countries due to financial and human resource constraints. Visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) of the cervix was widely promoted and routinely used as a low-cost primary screening tes ...

Disentangling the complexity of tumor-derived extracellular vesicles

Michele De Palma, Tim Beltraminelli, Caleb Ricardo Perez

The tumor microenvironment encompasses an intertwined ensemble of both transformed cancer cells and non-transformed host cells, which together establish a signaling network that regulates tumor progression. By conveying both homo- and heterotypic cell-to-c ...
