Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) establishes persistent infection, causes infectious mononucleosis, is a major trigger for multiple sclerosis and contributes to multiple cancers. Yet, knowledge remains incomplete about how the virus remodels host B cells to support lytic replication. We previously identified that EBV lytic replication results in selective depletion of plasma membrane (PM) B cell receptor (BCR) complexes, composed of immunoglobulin and the CD79A and CD79B signaling chains.

Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are bifunctional compounds that have been extensively studied for their role in targeted protein degradation (TPD). The capacity to degrade validated or undruggable targets provides PROTACs with significant potency in cancer therapy. However, the clinical application of PROTACs is limited by their poor potency and unfavorable pharmacokinetic properties.

Background: One of the hallmark pathological characteristics of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulated in brain, which is mainly derived from the proteolytic processing of amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP). The ubiquitin-proteasome system is able to reduce Aβ generation by ubiquitination and degradation of AβPP. Icariin (ICA), a flavonoid isolated from Maxim.

Proteasomes generate antigenic peptides presented on cell surfaces-a process that, in neuroglia, is highly responsive to external stimuli. However, the function of the self-antigens presented by CNS parenchymal cells remains unclear. Here, we report that the fidelity of neuroglial self-antigens is crucial to suppress encephalitogenic T cell responses by elevating regulatory T (Treg) cell populations.

Mutant Calreticulin in MPN: Mechanistic Insights and Therapeutic Implications.

Curr Hematol Malig Rep

January 2025

Division of Hematology, Department of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA, 94305, USA.

Purpose Of Review: More than a decade following the discovery of Calreticulin (CALR) mutations as drivers of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), advances in the understanding of CALR-mutant MPN continue to emerge. Here, we summarize recent advances in mehanistic understanding and in targeted therapies for CALR-mutant MPN.

Recent Findings: Structural insights revealed that the mutant CALR-MPL complex is a tetramer and the mutant CALR C-terminus is exposed on the cell surface.
