DNA replication stress induced by oncogenes is a known driver of chromosomal instability, which is associated with poor prognosis in several cancer types.
The stress-responsive protein PPP1R15A (protein phosphatase 1, regulatory subunit 15 A) promotes the unfolded protein response and restores protein homeostasis.
Huazhong University of Science and Technology and affiliated organizations have explored the role of microRNA-218-5p (miR-218-5p) in Parkinson’s disease (PD).
The σ2 receptor (σ2R) has been recently identified as transmembrane protein 97 (TMEM97), and ligands of σ2R/TMEM97 have previously shown the ability to alleviate mechanical hypersensitivity in mouse models of neuropathic pain.
CD38 is the main NAD+-hydrolyzing enzyme, and it also catabolizes nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and other extracellular NAD+ precursors prior to their intracellular transport for NAD+ biosynthesis.
