Neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), represent debilitating conditions with complex, poorly understood pathologies. Epichaperomes, pathologic protein assemblies nucleated on key cha...
The epichaperome, a dynamic and integrated network of chaperone proteins, extends its roles beyond basic protein folding to protein stabilization and intracellular signal transduction to orchestrating a multitude of cellular processes critical for tu...
Drugs with a long residence time at their target sites are often more efficacious in disease treatment. The mechanism, however, behind prolonged retention at the site of action is often difficult to understand for non-covalent agents. In this context...
The plasma membrane (PM) of eukaryotic cells plays a key role in the response to stress, acting as the first line of defense against environmental changes and protecting cells against intracellular perturbations. In this work, we explore how membrane...
Hsp70, a 70 kDa molecular chaperone, plays a crucial role in maintaining protein homeostasis. It interacts with the DnaJ family of co-chaperones to modulate the functions of client proteins involved in various cellular processes, including transmembr...
Background: Targeted therapies have been largely ineffective against glioblastoma (GBM) owing to the tumor’s heterogeneity and intrinsic and adaptive treatment resistance. Targeting multiple pro-survival pathways simultaneously may overcome the...
Breast cancer (BC) is characterized by an extensive genotypic and phenotypic heterogeneity. In-depth investigations into the molecular bases of BC phenotypes, carcinogenesis, progression, and metastasis are necessary for accurate diagnoses, prognoses...
