Commented on Setting the dynein motor in motion: new insights from electron tomography
Dyneins are complex molecular motors that power microtubule-based cellular transport processes. Recent advances in electron tomography imaging have provided detailed insights into dynein's function and regulation, shedding light on the mechanisms underlying cellular reorganization and regulatory processes.

Commented on On and off controls within dynein–dynactin on native cargoes
Disrupting the interactions between dynein-dynactin and microtubules affects dynein's binding rate to microtubules and its ability to resist external forces. This finding highlights the importance of these interactions, especially in "high-load" functions of dynein, shedding light on dynein dysfunction in various cellular contexts.

Article

Commented on Structure and Mechanics of Dynein Motors
Dyneins, a family of AAA+ motors, move along microtubules towards the minus end and play various roles in intracellular transport, spindle assembly, and ciliary beating. Recent advances in structural and biophysical studies have shed light on the activation and regulation of dyneins, addressing long-standing challenges and uncovering new insights into bidirectional transport and ciliary oscillations.

Commented on Selenium-binding protein 1 transcriptionally activates p21 expression via p53-independent mechanism and its frequent reduction associates with poor prognosis in bladder cancer
SELENBP1, found to be reduced in many solid tumors, is notably downregulated in human bladder cancer and this reduction is linked to tumor progression and poor prognosis. This downregulation may be due to DNA hypermethylation, and reintroducing SELENBP1 can suppress bladder cancer growth by influencing p21 expression through a mechanism not involving p53 but rather by affecting the phosphorylation of c-Jun and STAT1. Consequently, SELENBP1 has potential as both a prognostic marker and a therapeutic target in bladder cancer treatments.

Commented on Insights into 4E-BP1 and p53 mediated regulation of accelerated cell senescence
Senescence is a defense mechanism against cancer, with discodermolide being a potent trigger for this state. However, resistance to discodermolide is linked to changes in 4E-BP1 and p53 protein levels. The interplay between senescence, mTOR signaling, and p53 remains a complex topic of research.
