Mutation

Concurrent PIK3CA mutant promotes cachexia through inflammatory signaling in EGFR mutant lung cancer.

PIK3CA mutation is frequently concurrent with known oncogenic drivers such as EGFR mutation in lung cancer, raising an interesting question about its real function. Cachexia is a systemic disease arising from tumor-organ crosstalk, significantly contributing to cancer-related mortality. Through integrative...

A fluorescent aptasensor for deoxynivalenol detection based on Nb.BbvCI-assisted targeted-responsive three-way junctions integrated DNA walking machine.

Deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination in cereals is a widespread issue with global implications, necessitating the development of efficient detection methods. Here, a fluorescent aptasensor integrating target-responsive DNA three-way junction (TWJ) and DNA walking machine was developed to detect DON. The DON-specific...

LRRK2 Gene Mutation Causes Skeletal Muscle Impairment in Animal Model of Parkinson's Disease.

While the gradually aggravated motor and non-motor disorders of Parkinson's disease (PD) lead to progressive disability and frequent falling, skeletal muscle impairment may contribute to this condition. The leucine-rich repeat kinase2 (LRRK2) is a common disease-causing gene in PD. Little...

-mutated NSCLC is Dependent on Tumor-secreted GDF15.

Cachexia is a wasting syndrome comprised of adipose, muscle, and weight loss observed in cancer patients. Tumor loss-of-function mutations in , a regulator of the energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase, induce cancer cachexia (CC) in preclinical models and are associated...
