Combined Noncoding RNA-mRNA Regulomics Signature in Reprogramming and Pluripotency in iPSCs by Salloum-Asfar, Salam

“…Introducing miRNAs, such as miR-294 and miR302/3667, with reprogramming factors, has shown to increase iPSC colony formation. Previously, we identified five transcription factors, GBX2, NANOGP8, SP8, PEG3, and ZIC1, which may boost iPSC generation. …”

Quantification of the growth suppression of HER2+ breast cancer colonies under the effect of trastuzumab and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor. by Padmanabhan, Regina

“…Precisely, several questions regarding the right combination of drugs, drug modality, and effective dose recommendations pertaining to the use of ICB-based therapy for HER2+ patients remain unanswered. In this study, we use a mathematical modeling-based approach to quantify the growth inhibition of HER2+ breast cancer (BC) cell colonies (ZR75) when treated with anti-HER2; trastuzumab (TZ) and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 (BMS-202) agents. …”

A computational approach for investigating the mutational landscape of RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1) and screening inhibitors against the oncogenic E17K mutation... by Thirumal Kumar, D

“…Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among females worldwide, and among the BC-associated mutations in various proteins, mutations in the RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1) remain the most dominant. We thus attempted to understand the potential molecular pathogenicity profile of the mutations in AKT1 using a comprehensive computational protocol involving analyses of biochemistry-disruption and destabilizing properties and conservation. …”
