Conserved components of the macroautophagy machinery in Caenorhabditis elegans

1 year 2 months ago
Macroautophagy involves the sequestration of cytoplasmic contents in a double-membrane autophagosome and its subsequent delivery to lysosomes for degradation and recycling. In Caenorhabditis elegans, autophagy participates in diverse processes such as stress resistance, cell fate specification, tissue remodeling, aging, and adaptive immunity. Genetic screens in C. elegans have identified a set of metazoan-specific autophagy genes that form the basis for our molecular understanding of steps...

Genome-wide CRISPR screen identifies BUB1 kinase as a druggable vulnerability in malignant pleural mesothelioma

1 year 2 months ago
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare yet highly aggressive malignancy with a severe prognosis. Compounded by the lack of effective treatment modalities, MPM remains a formidable health challenge. Therefore, the identification of actionable liabilities is critical for advancing precision medicine to combat this lethal disease. Here, we exploit an unbiased genome-wide CRISPR screen, integrating and cross-comparing three MPM cell lines with nonmalignant mesothelial cells, to selectively...
