Sterile alpha and Toll/interleukin-1 receptor motif containing 1 (SARM1), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-utilizing enzyme, mediates axon degeneration (AxD) in various neurodegenerative diseases. It is activated by nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) to produce a calcium messenger, cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). This activity is blocked by elevated NAD level.

Prolonged exposure to interferon-gamma (IFNγ) and the associated increased expression of the enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) create an intracellular shortage of tryptophan in the cancer cells, which stimulates ribosomal frameshifting and tryptophan to phenylalanine (W>F) codon reassignments during protein synthesis. Here, we investigated whether such neoepitopes can be useful targets of adoptive T cell therapy. Immunopeptidomic analyses uncovered hundreds of W>F neoepitopes mainly presented by the HLA-A24:02 allele.

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant tumor with high prevalence in southern China. Aberrant DNA methylation, as a hallmark of cancer, is extensively present in NPC, the detection of which facilitates early diagnosis and prognostic improvement of NPC. Conventional methylation detection methods relying on bisulfite conversion have limitations such as time-consuming, complex processes and sample degradation; thus, a more rapid and efficient method is needed.

Menopausal users of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are at increased breast cancer risk and decreased colorectal cancer (CRC) risk compared with individuals who have never used HRT, but these opposing associations may differ by familial risk of breast cancer and CRC. We harmonized data from 3 cohorts and generated separate breast cancer and CRC familial risk scores based on cancer family history. We defined moderate or strong family history as a risk score of 0.

Background: Breast cancer stem cells (BCSC) are a subpopulation responsible for cancer resistance and relapse. The receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL) is a cytokine capable of activating RANK and LGR4 receptors. RANKL/RANK signaling maintains the self-renewal of BCSCs, however, the effect of RANKL via LGR4 remains unclear.
