EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES IN RENAL CELL CARCINOMA: MULTIFACETED ROLES AND POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS IDENTIFIED BY EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL METHODS

Extracellular Vesicles in Renal Cell Carcinoma: Multifaceted Roles and Potential Applications Identified by Experimental and Computational Methods

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer.Increasingly evidences indicate that extracellular vesicles (EVs) orchestrate multiple processes in tumorigenesis, metastasis, immune evasion, and drug response of RCC.EVs are lipid membrane-bound vesicles in nanometer size and secreted by almost all cell types into the extracellul

Repression by the H-NS/YmoA histone-like protein complex enables IscR dependent regulation of the Yersinia T3SS.

The type III secretion system (T3SS) is an appendage used by many bacterial pathogens, such as pathogenic Yersinia, to subvert host defenses.However, because the T3SS is energetically costly and immunogenic, it must be tightly regulated in response to environmental cues to enable survival in the host.Here we show that expression of the Yersinia Ysc

Ten simple rules for socially responsible science.

Guidelines concerning the potentially harmful effects of scientific studies have historically focused on ethical considerations for minimizing risk for participants.However, studies can also indirectly inflict harm on individuals and social groups through how they are designed, reported, and disseminated.As evidenced by recent criticisms and retrac
