The calcium-dependent phospholipid scramblase TMEM16E mediates ion transport and lipid translocation across the plasma membrane. TMEM16E also contributes to protection of membrane structure by facilitating cellular repair signaling. Our research reveals that TMEM16E activation promotes macropinocytosis, essential for maintaining plasma membrane integrity.

Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) has been studied in clinically localized prostate cancer (PCa) to improve the outcomes from radical prostatectomy (RP) by 'debulking' of high-risk PCa; however, using androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) at this point risks castration resistant PCa (CRPC) clonal proliferation. Our goal is to identify alternative NAT that reduce hormone sensitive PCa (HSPC) without affecting androgen receptor (AR) transcriptional activity. PCa is associated with increased expression and activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family, including HER2 and ErbB3.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second common hematological malignancy characterized by the abnormal proliferation of plasma cells. Although advances in the past decades have led to improved outcomes and longer survival, MM remains largely incurable. New targets and targeted therapy may help to achieve better outcomes.

Inflammatory skin disease is characterized by a pathologic interplay between skin cells and immunocytes and can result in disfiguring cutaneous lesions and systemic inflammation. Immunosuppression is commonly used to target the inflammatory component; however, these drugs are often expensive and associated with side effects. To identify previously unidentified targets, we carried out a nonbiased informatics screen to identify drug compounds with an inverse transcriptional signature to keratinocyte inflammatory signals.

Cationic nanostructured lipid carriers (cNLCs) represent promising non-viral carriers for nucleic acids, such as miRNAs, forming stable self-assembled miRNA complexes due to electrostatic interactions. Prepared by high-pressure homogenization, cNLC formulations, both with and without Nile Red dye demonstrated stable particle sizes in the range of 100-120 nm and positive surface charges (>30 mV), which are necessary for effective cellular uptake. The miRNA complexes formed at mass ratios of 1:2.
