SOX2 is a determinant transcription factor that governs the balance between stemness and differentiation by influencing transcription and splicing programs. The role of SOX2 is intricately shaped by its intera...
COVID-19 can cause cardiac complications and the latter are associated with poor prognosis and increased mortality. SARS-CoV-2 variants differ in their infectivity and pathogenicity, but how they affect cardio...
Immunosurveillance is pivotal in the effectiveness of anticancer therapies and tumor control. The ineffectiveness of cisplatin in activating the immunosurveillance is attributed to its lack of adjuvanticity re...
The PDZ-LIM domain-containing protein PDLIM2 is a common tumor suppressor and a key immune modulator. One main function of PDLIM2 is to promote the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of nuclear activat...
Stargardt disease (STGD) is the most common form of inherited juvenile macular dystrophy and is caused by sequence variants in the ABCA4 gene. Due to its genetic complexity and phenotypic variability, STGD poses ...
