  • Prognostic significance of clinicopathological and ultrasonographic features in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma beyond TERT promoter mutation

    Prognostic significance of clinicopathological and ultrasonographic features in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma beyond TERT promoter mutation

    In this study, the TERT promoter mutation in ATC was associated with a larger tumor size but did not exhibit significant differences in other clinicopathological characteristics or US features compared to ATC without the mutation. Notably, ATC…

  • Molecular basis for the interaction between Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rtt103 and the Rat1-Rai1 complex

    Molecular basis for the interaction between Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rtt103 and the Rat1-Rai1 complex

    Overall structure of Rat1-Rai1-Rtt103 ternary complex

    To produce the Rat1-Rai1-Rtt103 complex, we first tried to express the three proteins separately in E. coli and assemble them in vitro. Although Rat1 and Rtt103 could be expressed and purified,…

  • Mitochondrial, metabolic and bioenergetic adaptations drive plasticity of colorectal cancer cells and shape their chemosensitivity

    Mitochondrial, metabolic and bioenergetic adaptations drive plasticity of colorectal cancer cells and shape their chemosensitivity

    A subgroup of CRC cells displays drastically reduced mitochondrial biomass

    CRC exhibit remarkable heterogeneity dividing them into four molecular subtypes (CMS1-4), which are additionally characterized by features such as microsatellite…

  • Improved post-transplant outcomes for elderly acute myeloid leukemia patients conditioned with FLU/BU4 rather than conventional MAC regimens

    Improved post-transplant outcomes for elderly acute myeloid leukemia patients conditioned with FLU/BU4 rather than conventional MAC regimens

    Characteristics of patients and transplants

    A total of 6551 AML patients who underwent allogenic HSCT with MAC regimens were extracted from the Japanese nationwide registry. Among them, 905 patients received FLU/BU4, while 5646 patients received…
