The ATP-binding cassette transporter superfamily plays a pivotal role in cellular detoxification and drug efflux. ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) referred to as the Breast cancer resistance protein has emerged as a key member involved in multidrug resistance displayed by cancer cells. Understanding the molecular basis of substrate and inhibitor recognition, and binding within the transmembrane domain of ABCG2 is crucial for the development of effective therapeutic strategies.

Melanoma cells remain resistant to chemotherapy with cisplatin (CisPt) and doxorubicin (DOX). The abnormal expression of Receptor-Interacting Protein Kinase 4 (RIPK4) in certain melanomas contributes to tumour growth through the NFκB and Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathways, which are known to regulate chemoresistance and recurrence. Despite this, the role of RIPK4 in response to chemotherapeutics in melanoma has not been reported.

Genomic insights into the specialisation and selection of the Jinding duck.

Animal

November 2024

Jiangxi Key Laboratory of Bioprocess Engineering, College of Life Sciences, Jiangxi Science and Technology Normal University, Nanchang 330013, China. Electronic address:

The domestication of ducks represents a pivotal evolutionary shift from the unguided propagation of wild species to deliberate human-mediated selection, culminating in distinct behavioural, morphological, and physiological traits that differentiate domesticated ducks from their wild counterparts. This transition has yielded breeds with traits fine-tuned to specific economic roles, such as egg production, meat yield, or dual-purpose functionality. Duck domestication plays a significant role in poultry production globally, meeting the growing demand for eggs and meat in various regions.
