The role of ADAM10 and mucin-like molecules in modulating cell-cell interactions by Drexhage, L

“…When mucin cleavage is prevented, efferocytic uptake by macrophages is reduced in an in vitro assay, and if mucins are removed by a pan- mucinase enzyme, uptake is increased. A related theme of my work is the regulation of mucin expression on activated T cells. …”

The Malaysian 'Islamic' state versus the Islamic state (IS) : evolving definitions of 'Terror' in an 'Islamising' nation-state by Chan, Nicholas Wai Yeap

“…Akin to a case of semantic acrobatics, we demonstrate how the Malaysian state securitised (1980-2001), normalised (2001-2013), and resecuritised (2014 onwards) the term as a result of a balancing act which not only aimed at neutralising the elements of militancy, but also to augment the state's ' Islamic ' credentials in a bid to outplay its major Islamist opponent, the Pan Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS). At the end, following the emergence of a transnational insurgent/quasi-state/ terrorist/ideology hybrid, the Islamic State (IS), we argue that the Malaysian state is now embroiled in an ' Islamic state versus Islamic State' trap, where the state after appropriating and normalising the ' Islamic state' ideal, has no choice but to contend with what is fundamentally a ' terrorist' group (by the state's own definition) in religious terms. …”

A pilot study on peptidylarginine deiminases and protein deimination in animal cancers across vertebrate species by Inal, Jameel, Hristova, Mariya, Lange, Sigrun

“…Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that CitH3 was strongly detected in all of the cancers assessed, while pan-deimination detection was overall low. Both PAD2 and PAD3 were the most predominantly expressed PADs across all of the cancers assessed, while PAD1, PAD4, and PAD6 were overall expressed at lower, albeit varying, levels. …”

Overcoming immunosenescence: strategies to modulate DNA damage and senescence in immune cells and fibroblasts by Kell, L

“…Continuous treatment with a pan- mTOR inhibitor, AZD8055, rescued a wide range of senescence phenotypes in DDIS fibroblasts, including the presence of DNA damage foci, suggesting that mTOR inhibition is genoprotective. …”

Pathway and network analysis of more than 2500 whole cancer genomes by Reyna, MA, Haan, D, Paczkowska, M, Verbeke, LPC, Vazquez, M, Kahraman, A, Pulido-Tamayo, S, Barenboim, J, Wadi, L, Dhingra, P, Shrestha, R, Getz, G, Lawrence, MS, Pedersen, JS, Rubin, MA, Wheeler, DA, Brunak, S, Izarzugaza, JMG, Khurana, E, Marchal, K, von Mering, C, Sahinalp, SC, Valencia, A, PCAWG Drivers and Functional Interpretation Working Group, Reimand, J, Stuart, JM, Raphael, BJ, PCAWG Consortium

“…Here, as part of the ICGC/TCGA Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) Consortium, which aggregated whole genome sequencing data from 2658 cancer across 38 tumor types, we perform multi-faceted pathway and network analyses of non-coding mutations across 2583 whole cancer genomes from 27 tumor types compiled by the ICGC/TCGA PCAWG project that was motivated by the success of pathway and network analyses in prioritizing rare mutations in protein-coding genes. …”
