Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a highly expressed driver of many cancers, yet the utility of EGFR inhibitors is limited to cancers that harbor sensitizing mutations in the EGFR gene due to dose limiting toxicities. Rather than conventionally blocking the kinase activity of EGFR, we sought to reduce its transcription as an alternative approach to broaden the therapeutic window for EGFR inhibitors targeting wildtype or mutant EGFR. We found that YES1 is highly expressed in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and drives cell growth by elevating EGFR levels.

Identification of genetic variants of the gene in association with COPD susceptibility.

Ann Med

December 2025

Department of General Practice, Hainan affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University, Hainan General Hospital, Haikou, China.

Background: Although existing studies have identified some genetic loci associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) susceptibility, many variants remain to be discovered. The aim of this study was to further explore the potential relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and COPD risk.

Methods: Nine hundred and ninety-six subjects were recruited (498 COPD cases and 498 healthy controls).

Background: Differential DNA methylation in the promoter region of tumour suppressor genes leads to gene function silencing.

Materials And Methods: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the salivary promoter methylation of EDNRB, MGMT and TIMP3 genes in H&NC patients (n = 100), premalignant lesions patients (n = 25) and healthy controls (n = 50). Blood and saliva samples were collected from all three groups and 20 concomitant tumour tissues were collected from the H&NC patients.

CRISPR-Cas-mediated adaptation of Thermus thermophilus HB8 to environmental stress conditions.

Arch Microbiol

January 2025

Department of Molecular Biosciences, Wenner-Gren Institute, Stockholm University, Stockholm, SE 106 91, Sweden.

Bacteria experience a continual array of environmental stresses, necessitating adaptive mechanisms crucial for their survival. Thermophilic bacteria, such as Thermus thermophilus, face constant environmental challenges, particularly high temperatures, which requires robust adaptive mechanisms for survival. Studying these extremophiles provides valuable insights into the intricate molecular and physiological processes used by extremophiles to adapt and survive in harsh environments.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor and nonmotor symptoms, with a significant genetic component. Early-onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD), manifesting before age 45, is often linked to mutations in genes such as PARK2, PINK1, and PARK7, the latter coding for the protein DJ-1.

Objective: We present the first reported cases of EOPD carrying a previously undescribed homozygous PARK7 mutation, p.
