Autophagy is a cellular catabolic mechanism that facilitates the degradation of cytoplasmic components, thereby restoring energy homeostasis and mitigating cellular damage. This process functions as a housekeeping system, essential for maintaining or...

No pharmacological interventions exist that can restore or preserve auditory function in the mammalian cochlea. Auditory hair cells (HCs) do not spontaneously regenerate, leading to permanent hearing loss. In non-mammalian vertebrates, HC regeneratio...

Osteoporosis is a major global health challenge, causing millions of fragility fractures each year and imposing an escalating socioeconomic burden worldwide. Despite advances with antiresorptive and anabolic therapies, substantial residual fracture r...

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable hematologic malignancy arising from clonal plasma cells, with poor long-term outcomes due to inevitable relapse after conventional therapies. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell immunotherapy targeting B-cell...

Background: Glioblastoma and neuroblastoma are aggressive brain and pediatric tumors with limited treatment options. Vaccinia virus (VV) has demonstrated potent oncolytic and immunomodulatory properties but faces challenges in tumor targeting. Method...

Globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD) is a devastating lysosomal storage disorder caused by galactocerebrosidase (GALC) deficiency, leading to cytotoxic psychosine accumulation, broad neuroinflammation, dysfunction of autophagy and ubiquitin-proteasome s...

Human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) represent a robust platform for modelling inherited cardiac disorders. Comparative analysis of ion channel activity in patient-specific and isogenic control lines provides critica...

The study of ovarian biology is hampered by the lack of in vitro models that faithfully recapitulate the physiology of granulosa cells (GCs). Primary GCs have a limited lifespan, while most immortalized lines are tumor-derived and exhibit non-physiol...

Therapeutic cancer vaccines have emerged as promising immunotherapy approaches. TRIMEL, a heat-shocked lysate derived from three melanoma cell lines, constitutes the basis of TAPCells and TRIMELVax cancer vaccines, both of which have shown clinical e...

Many studies have shown an association between herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection and the development of neurodegeneration processes later in life, such as Alzheimer’s disease. The Fas/FasL death pathway plays an important role in th...
