Mutations in the TARDBP gene, which encodes the TDP-43 protein, account for only 3–5% of familial cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and less than 1% of cases that are apparently idiopathic. However, the discovery of neuronal inclusions of TDP-43 as th ...
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy continues to struggle in reaching its full potential in solid tumors, largely due to the tumor microenvironment (TME) where various small molecules induce immunosuppressive signaling in CAR T-cells. Two key mo ...
Ruthenium-based complexes have been suggested as promising anticancer drugs exhibiting reduced general toxicity compared to platinum-based drugs. In particular, Ru(& eta;(6)-arene)(PTA)Cl-2 (PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane), or RAPTA, complexes have ...
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are protein biotherapeutics with a proven efficacy toward fighting life-threatening diseases. Their exceptional healing potential drives the annual increase in the number of novel mAbs and other antibody-like molecules entering ...
Human mammary epithelial cells can proliferate and reorganize into polarized multi-cellular constructs in-vitro, thereby functioning as an important model system in recapitulating key steps of in-vivo morphogenesis. Current approaches to constructing such ...
