Emerging Roles of RNA Binding Proteins in Diabetes
RNA binding proteins are implicated in diabetes-associated pathogenic events as they initiate pathogenic signals that can cause mitochondrial dysfunction, fibrosis, inflammation and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT).
Multimodal Agent for Cancer Diagnostics and Therapeutics
Chunmeng Shi and co-workers from the Third Military Medical University in Chongqing, China, introduce a small-molecule-based cancer theranostic agent for simultaneous cancer-cell mitochondrial targeting, NIR imaging, and chemo-/PDT/PTT/multimodal therapeutic activities.
Molecular Therapeutics for Drug-Free Cancer Treatment
Drug-free macromolecular therapeutic systems can target and kill cancer cells without causing the side-effects of the drugs currently in clinical use.
Regulation of Germ Cell Development by Intercellular Signaling in the Mammalian Ovarian Follicle
Unlike all other cells in the body, which age and eventually die, a female’s oocytes can give rise to a new individual. Oocytes have, in a sense, achieved immortality. In order to reach this exalted state, each oocyte undergoes a complex program of differentiation within the ovary before it is ovulated and fertilized.
Could Some Cases of Autism be Prevented by Nutritional Intervention?
In a Hypothesis article published in BioEssays, Arthur Beaudet speculates that brain carnitine deficiency might be the cause for about 10-20% of autism cases.
RNA-Recognition Motif-Containing Proteins – What is Their Function?
Organelle-localized RNA recognition motif-containing proteins participate in a variety of RNA-related processes, including RNA editing, RNA processing, and RNA stability.
