Few components of the mitochondrial fission machinery are known, even though mitochondrial fission is a complex process of vital importance for cell growth and survival. Here, we describe a novel protein that controls mitochondrial fission…
La Crosse virus (LACV), a zoonotic Bunyavirus, is a major cause of pediatric viral encephalitis in the United States. A hallmark of neurological diseases caused by LACV and other encephalitic viruses is the induction of neuronal cell death…
The role of mitochondria in Drosophila programmed cell death remains unclear, although certain gene products that regulate cell death seem to be evolutionarily conserved. We find that developmental programmed cell death stimuli in vivo and…
Protein kinase A-driven increases in c-MYC protein expression and tumor cell proliferation can be blocked by eIF4A inhibitors, suggesting a potential new treatment option for patients with oncogenic PKA activation.
The DDR culminates in either transient cell cycle arrest and DNA repair or elimination of damaged cells by apoptosis4,5. Here we show, that the cytokine interleukin (IL-)22 produced by group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) and γδ T cells is…
Cytokinins and cytokinin nucleosides are purine derivatives with potential anticancer activity. N6-furfuryladenosine (FAdo, kinetin-riboside) displays antiproliferative and apoptogenic activity against various human cancer cell lines, and…
