A fluorogenic cyclic peptide for imaging and quantification of drug-induced apoptosis
(Nature, 2020-08-12)Programmed cell death or apoptosis is a central biological process that is dysregulated in many diseases, including inflammatory conditions and cancer. The detection and quantification of apoptotic cells in vivo is hampered ... -
Affinity for the Interface Underpins Potency of Antibodies Operating In Membrane Environments
(Cell Press, 2020-08-18)The contribution of membrane interfacial interactions to recognition of membrane-embedded antigens by antibodies is currently unclear. This report demonstrates the optimization of this type of antibodies via chemical ... -
Analysis on the Characterization of Multiphoton Microscopy Images for Malignant Neoplastic Colon Lesion Detection under Deep Learning Methods
(Wolters Kluwer, 2021-06-21)Background: Colorectal cancer has a high incidence rate worldwide, with over 1.8 million new cases and 880,792 deaths in 2018. Fortunately, its early detection significantly increases the survival rate, reaching a cure ... -
Cholesterol Constrains the Antigenic Configuration of the Membrane-Proximal Neutralizing HIV-1 Epitope
(ACS, 2020-06-25)The envelope glycoprotein (Env) enables HIV-1 cell entry through fusion of host-cell and viral membranes induced by the transmembrane subunit gp41. Antibodies targeting the C-terminal sequence of the membrane-proximal ... -
Engineering pan–HIV-1 neutralization potency through multispecific antibody avidity
(National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022-01-25)Deep mining of B cell repertoires of HIV-1-infected individuals has resulted in the isolation of dozens of HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs). Yet, it remains uncertain whether any such bNAbs alone are sufficiently ... -
Focal accumulation of aromaticity at the CDRH3 loop mitigates 4E10 polyreactivity without altering its HIV neutralization profile
(Cell Press, 2021-09-24)Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against HIV-1 are frequently associated with the presence of autoreactivity/polyreactivity, a property that can limit their use as therapeutic agents. The bnAb 4E10, targeting the ... -
HuR/ELAVL1 drives malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor growth and metastasis
(The American Society for Clinical Investigation, 2020-07-01)Cancer cells can develop a strong addiction to discrete molecular regulators, which control the aberrant gene expression programs that drive and maintain the cancer phenotype. Here, we report the identification of the ... -
Identification of Androgen Receptor Metabolic Correlome Reveals the Repression of Ceramide Kinase by Androgens
(MDPI, 2021-08-26)Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most prevalent cancers in men. Androgen receptor signaling plays a major role in this disease, and androgen deprivation therapy is a common therapeutic strategy in recurrent disease. ... -
Identification of proximal SUMO-dependent interactors using SUMO-ID
(Nature Research, 2021-11-18)[EN]The fast dynamics and reversibility of posttranslational modifications by the ubiquitin family pose significant challenges for research. Here we present SUMO-ID, a technology that merges proximity biotinylation by ... -
LUZP1 Controls Cell Division, Migration and Invasion Through Regulation of the Actin Cytoskeleton
(Frontiers Media, 2021-04-01)LUZP1 is a centrosomal and actin cytoskeleton-localizing protein that regulates both ciliogenesis and actin filament bundling. As the cytoskeleton and cilia are implicated in metastasis and tumor suppression, we examined ... -
Molecular ruler mechanism and interfacial catalysis of the integral membrane acyltransferase PatA
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-10)[EN]Glycolipids are prominent components of bacterial membranes that play critical roles not only in maintaining the structural integrity of the cell but also in modulating host-pathogen interactions. PatA is an essential ... -
Multiplex SERS Detection of Metabolic Alterations in Tumor Extracellular Media
(Wiley, 2020-04)The composition and intercellular interactions of tumor cells in the tissues dictate the biochemical and metabolic properties of the tumor microenvironment. The metabolic rewiring has a profound impact on the properties ... -
Multivalency Transforms SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies Into Ultrapotent Neutralizers
(Nature, 2021-06-16)SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, has caused a global pandemic. Antibodies can be powerful biotherapeutics to fight viral infections. Here, we use the human apoferritin protomer as a modular subunit to drive ... -
Nanocomposite Scaffolds for Monitoring of Drug Diffusion in Three-Dimensional Cell Environments by Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
(American Chemical Society, 2021-10-27)[EN]Monitoring dynamic processes in complex cellular environments requires the integration of uniformly distributed detectors within such three-dimensional (3D) networks, to an extent that the sensor could provide real-time ... -
