RADIUM-223. PLACE IN THE TREATMENT OF METASTATIC CASTRATION-REFRACTORY PROSTATE CANCER by A. A. Kostin, A. G. Muradyan, A. O. Tolkachev, S. V. Popov

“…Currently, there are six effective methods of treatment of metastatic castration-refractory prostate cancer (mCRPC): effects on androgenic stimulation (abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide); chemotherapy with drugs from the taxane group (docetaxel, cabazitaxel); immunotherapy (Sipuleucel-T), radionuclide therapy with Radium-223 chloride (Ksofigo®). 223Ra is a tropic to bone tissue alpha emitter, which, due to its high linear energy transfer and short transmission distance, provides an enhanced localized antitumor effect due to higher energy delivery. …”

Glioblastoma-derived migrasomes promote migration and invasion by releasing PAK4 and LAMA4 by Zhe Huang, Ming Wang, Yitian Chen, Hua Tang, Kuo Tang, Mingkuan Zhao, Wei Yang, Zhengjun Zhou, Junjie Tian, Wei Xiang, Shenjie Li, Qinglian Luo, Luotong Liu, Yanru Zhao, Tao Li, Jie Zhou, Ligang Chen

“…We further confirmed that migrasomes are enriched in extracellular matrix (ECM)-related proteins such as p21-activating kinase 4 (PAK4) and laminin alpha 4 (LAMA4). Our experimental results suggest that migrasomes promote GBM cells migration by releasing such proteins into the extracellular space. …”

Complexes of vertebrate TMC1/2 and CIB2/3 proteins form hair-cell mechanotransduction cation channels by Arnaud PJ Giese, Wei-Hsiang Weng, Katie S Kindt, Hui Ho Vanessa Chang, Jonathan S Montgomery, Evan M Ratzan, Alisha J Beirl, Roberto Aponte Rivera, Jeffrey M Lotthammer, Sanket Walujkar, Mark P Foster, Omid A Zobeiri, Jeffrey R Holt, Saima Riazuddin, Kathleen E Cullen, Marcos Sotomayor, Zubair M Ahmed

“…Here, we show that both CIB2 and CIB3 can form heteromeric complexes with TMC1 and TMC2 and are integral for MET function in mouse cochlea and vestibular end organs as well as in zebrafish inner ear and lateral line. Our AlphaFold 2 models suggest that vertebrate CIB proteins can simultaneously interact with at least two cytoplasmic domains of TMC1 and TMC2 as validated using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of TMC1 fragments interacting with CIB2 and CIB3. …”
