Putting the brakes on chondrosarcoma
Primary cartilaginous tumors often arise from endochondral ossification, range from benign endochondroma and osteochondroma to malignant chondrosarcoma, and are notoriously resistant to chemotherapy or radiation. This urges development of novel therapeutic approaches particularly in chondrosarcoma, which is a terminal disease in more than 90% of unresectable cases [1]. Now research of Zhou and ...
متن کاملPutting the Brakes on Fear
The extinction of fear is believed to involve inhibitory processes in the amygdala. In this issue of Neuron, Trouche et al. (2013) show that basal amygdala neurons activated by fear conditioning are silenced by local inhibitory interneurons after extinction.
متن کاملPutting the brakes on cylindromatosis?
In patients with familial cylindromatosis, or “turban tumors,” numerous benign skin adnexal tumors develop, principally on the head and neck (Fig. 1). This rare disorder is caused by a mutation of the CYLD gene and has a variable penetrance. Thanks to three recent studies 2-4 and, in particular, to the work of Brummelkamp and colleagues, 2 we now have a more accurate conception of the disease p...
متن کاملReleasing the Brakes on Cancer Immunotherapy
This year's Lasker∼DeBakey Clinical Research Award goes to James Allison for discovering that antibody blockade of the T cell molecule CTLA-4 unleashes the body's immune response against malignant tumors. This has led to development of multiple "immune checkpoint therapies" that are prolonging and saving the lives of thousands of cancer patients.
متن کاملReleasing the brakes while hanging on
Actin polymerization plays a major role in many cellular processes, including cell motility, vesicle trafficking, and pathogen propulsion. The transformation of the (protrusive) polymerization forces into directed motion requires that the growing filaments are positioned next to the surface. This is achieved by localization of surface actin nucleators (WASP), which then activate Arp2/3 complex ...
