Peroxisomal import stress activates integrated stress response and inhibits ribosome biogenesis.

Impaired organelle-specific protein import triggers a variety of cellular stress responses, including adaptive pathways to balance protein homeostasis. Most of the previous studies focus on the cellular stress response triggered by misfolded proteins or defective protein import in the endoplasmic reticulum or mitochondria. However, little is known about the cellular stress response to impaired protein import in the peroxisome, an understudied organelle that has recently emerged as a key signaling hub for cellular and metabolic homeostasis.

Cancer cell migration in collagen-hyaluronan composite extracellular matrices.

Hyaluronan (HA) is a key component in the tumor microenvironment (TME) that participates in cancer growth and invasiveness. While the molecular weight (MW) dependent properties of HA can cause tumor-promoting and -repressing effects, the elevated levels of HA in the TME impedes drug delivery. The degradation of HA using hyaluronidases (HYALs), resulting in fragments of HA, is a way to overcome this, but the consequences of changes in HA molecular weight and concentration is currently unknown.

A comprehensive review on the carcinogenic potential of bisphenol A: clues and evidence.

Bisphenol A [BPA; (CH)C(CHOH)] is a synthetic chemical used as a precursor material for the manufacturing of plastics and resins. It gained attention due to its high chances of human exposure and predisposing individuals at extremely low doses to diseases, including cancer. It enters the human body via oral, inhaled, and dermal routes as leach-out products.
