Abstract

Recent important progress in cancer biology was the identification of the significant roles played by extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs are secreted by a variety of mammalian cell types and have been revealed to play important roles in intercellular communications. EVs serve as unique communication vehicles in many ways. First, unlike cytokine signaling, EVs enable transportation not only of proteins, but also of nucleic acids, including mRNAs and microRNAs. Recent reports showing the functionality of these nucleic acids in the recipient cells have opened up a new avenue of cell-to-cell communication research. Second, EVs have been revealed to transport membrane components including receptors, such as epithelial growth factor receptor. These findings have provided significant insights into understanding the molecular mechanisms of cancer development. Third, EVs protect their contents from clearance by degrading enzymes present in the extracellular space, which allows for remote transportation of the contents, even between organs. This concept is highlighted by recent reports that suggest the deep involvement of cancer cell derived EVs in metastasis. From these points of view, we will summarize recent studies on the relevance of...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
