The development of the lung is a highly regulated and complex process that is not fully characterised. Although there have been many studies into the development of the lung many of the mechanisms regulating lung organogenesis ...

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive T-cell malignancy that is frequently caused by the overexpression of oncogenic transcription factors. Like many cancers, T-ALL is a heterogeneous disease, with ...

Tryptophan C-mannosylation involves the covalent and irreversible attachment of α-D-mannose onto the C2 carbon of the indole ring of tryptophan forming an unusual C-glycosidic bond that is far more stable than an N- or ...

The expansion of blood vessel networks by angiogenesis is critical for matching blood supply to the metabolic demands of growing tissues. In adult tissues, blood vessels and the endothelial cells (ECs) that make them ...

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a heterogeneous disease composed of multiple distinct molecular and clinical subtypes. Women with OC, in particular, high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), face a formidable challenge as fatal ...

Natural killer (NK) cells are effector lymphocytes of the innate immune system that are known for their ability to kill transformed and virus-infected cells. NK cells originate from haematopoietic stem cells in the bone ...

Pathogens causing chronic infections have successfully evolved mechanisms to subvert host immunity. Excessive and inappropriate inflammation together with attrition of repeatedly overstimulated high affinity T cells leads ...

Ectopic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection of T or NK cells is associated with several aggressive diseases including extra-nodal NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL) and chronic active EBV (CAEBV). Resistance to standard chemotherapy ...
