Open AccessBromodomain and extraterminal (BET) proteins: biological functions, diseases, and targeted therapy
BET proteins, which influence gene expression and contribute to the development of cancer, are epigenetic interpreters. Thus, BET inhibitors represent a novel form of epigenetic anticancer treatment. Although ...

Open AccessErlotinib versus gemcitabine plus cisplatin as neoadjuvant treatment of stage IIIA-N2 EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer: final overall survival analysis of the EMERGING-CTONG 1103 randomised phase II trial
EMERGING-CTONG 1103 showed improved progression-free survival (PFS) with neoadjuvant erlotinib vs. chemotherapy for patients harbouring EGFR sensibility mutations and R0 resected stage IIIA-N2 non-small cell l...

Open AccessInduction immune-checkpoint inhibitors for resectable oncogene-mutant NSCLC: A multicenter pooled analysis
Despite limited efficacy of immunotherapy for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with driver mutations, whether neoadjuvant immunotherapy could be clinically valuable in those patients warrants furthe...

Open AccessSARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein triggers hyperinflammation via protein-protein interaction-mediated intracellular Cl− accumulation in respiratory epithelium
SARS-CoV-2, the culprit pathogen of COVID-19, elicits prominent immune responses and cytokine storms. Intracellular Cl− is a crucial regulator of host defense, whereas the role of Cl− signaling pathway in modulat...

Efficient rejoining of radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks in vertebrate cells deficient in genes of the RAD52 epistasis group
Rejoining of ionizing radiation (IR) induced DNA DSBs usually follows biphasic kinetics with a fast (t50: 5–30 min) component attributed to DNA-PK-dependent non-homologous endjoining (NHEJ) and a slow (t50: 1–20 ...

Homologous recombination as a potential target for caffeine radiosensitization in mammalian cells: reduced caffeine radiosensitization in XRCC2 and XRCC3 mutants
The radiosensitizing effect of caffeine has been associated with the disruption of multiple DNA damage-responsive cell cycle checkpoints, but several lines of evidence also implicate inhibition of DNA repair. ...
