Dissecting Branch-Specific Unfolded Protein Response Activation in Drug-Tolerant BRAF-Mutant Melanoma using Data-Independent Acquisition Mass Spectrometry Cells rely on the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) to maintain ER protein homeostasis (proteostasis) when faced with elevated levels of misfolded and aggregated proteins. The UPR is comprised of three ...

Optogenetic Clustering of Human IRE1 Reveals Differential Regulation of Transcription and mRNA Splice Isoform Abundance by the UPR Inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) is one of three known sensor proteins that respond to homeostatic perturbations in the metazoan endoplasmic reticulum. The three sensors collectively initiate an int...

UM-led study offers hope that existing drug can target metastatic brain tumours A University of Manitoba-led study successfully eliminated breast-cancer derived brain tumours in mice, using a drug to penetrate the brain and eliminate metastatic brain tumours. After testing 8,500

After testing 8,500 drugs, the research team discovered that poziotinib – a drug that already exists and is approved for other cancers – reduced breast cancer brain metastasis tumours in mice after two weeks of treatment. #Medsky #cancerresearch #radyfaculty

Selection for somatic escape variants in SERPINA1 in the liver of patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency - Nature Genetics The expansion of clones with distinct SERPINA1 somatic mutants in the livers of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1AT) patients is consistent with convergent evolution. These variants interfere with th...
