C11orf54 is an ester hydrolase highly conserved across different species. C11orf54 has been identified as a biomarker protein of renal cancers, but its exact function remains poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that C11orf54 knockdown decreases cell proliferation and enhances cisplatin-induced DNA damage and apoptosis.

In this study, mesocrystalline MnO/TiO and MnTiO/TiO nanocomposites were synthesized using a layered titanic acid HTiO (HTO) precursor. The β-MnOOH layer is intercalated into the interlayer of HTO by Mn-exchange treatment of HO-intercalated HTO, which includes ion-exchange of Mn with H in the interlayer and oxidation of Mn to the β-MnOOH layer by HO in the interlayer space.

Recently, mutations of the coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 2 (CHCHD2) and 10 (CHCHD10) which encode two homologous proteins that belong to the mitochondrial CHCH domain protein family, are linked to Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)/frontotemporal dementia (FTD), respectively. However, the physiological and pathological roles of these twin proteins have not been well elaborated.

CELSR2 mainly function in neural development and cilium polarity. Recent studies showed that the CELSR2 gene is related to many human diseases, including coronary artery disease, idiopathic scoliosis, and cancer.
