We previously identified talin rod domain-containing protein 1 (TLNRD1) as a potent actin-bundling protein in vitro. Here, we report that TLNRD1 is expressed in the vasculature in vivo. Its depletion…
Identification of an H-Ras nanocluster disrupting peptide
Hyperactive Ras signalling is found in most cancers. Ras proteins are only active in membrane nanoclusters, which are therefore potential drug targets. We previously showed that the nanocluster scaffold galectin-1…
Body-wide genetic deficiency of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 14 sensitizes mice to colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease of the gastrointestinal tract affecting millions of people. Here, we investigated the expression and functions of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 14 (Parp14), an important…
Multi-omics analysis reveals drivers of loss of β-cell function after newly diagnosed autoimmune type 1 diabetes: An INNODIA multicenter study
CONCLUSIONS: Features that differ between individuals with slow and rapid decline in β-cell mass could be valuable in staging and prediction of the rate of disease progression and thus enable…
The Research Council of Finland /Academy of Finland Scientific Council for Biosciences, Health and the Environment funding to two research projects at Turku Bioscience
The Research Council of Finland /Academy of Finland Scientific Council for Biosciences, Health and the Environment has granted generous funding to two research projects at Turku Bioscience: Half a million…
Cancer cell invasion alters the protein profile of extracellular vesicles
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important mediators of intercellular communication involved in local and long-range signalling of cancer metastasis. The onset of invasion is the key step of the metastatic cascade,…
SNM1A is crucial for efficient repair of complex DNA breaks in human cells
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), such as those produced by radiation and radiomimetics, are amongst the most toxic forms of cellular damage, in part because they involve extensive oxidative modifications at…
Wnt/β-catenin-YAP axis in the pathogenesis of primary intraosseous carcinoma NOS, deriving from odontogenic keratocyst
Odontogenic tumors (OGTs), which originate from cells of odontogenic apparatus and their remnants, are rare entities. Primary intraosseous carcinoma NOS (PIOC), is one of the OGTs, but it is even…
Researchers discovered promising approach to prevent recurrence of breast cancer
Treatment outcomes for breast cancer have become better over the years, but proportion of breast cancers still recur even after long periods without signs of cancer remaining dormant in…
Serum proteomics of mother-infant dyads carrying HLA-conferred type 1 diabetes risk
In-utero and dietary factors make important contributions toward health and development in early childhood. In this respect, serum proteomics of maturing infants can provide insights into studies of childhood diseases,…
