EV-TRACK: transparent reporting and centralizing knowledge in extracellular vesicle research

Jan Van Deun, +101 more
- 01 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: It is argued that the field of extracellular vesicle (EV) biology needs more transparent reporting to facilitate interpretation and replication of experiments and EV-TRACK, a crowdsourcing knowledgebase that centralizes EV biology and methodology, is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Sertoli cell-selective knockout of the androgen receptor causes spermatogenic arrest in meiosis.

TL;DR: It is concluded that cell-autonomous action of the AR in SC is an absolute requirement for androgen maintenance of complete spermatogenesis, and that sPermatocyte/spermatid development/survival critically depends on androgens.
Journal ArticleDOI

De novo Lipogenesis Protects Cancer Cells from Free Radicals and Chemotherapeutics by Promoting Membrane Lipid Saturation

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that shifting lipid acquisition from lipid uptake toward de novo lipogenesis dramatically changes membrane properties and protects cells from both endogenous and exogenous insults, and provides a rationale for the use of lipogenesis inhibitors as antineoplastic agents and as chemotherapeutic sensitizers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased lipogenesis in cancer cells: new players, novel targets

TL;DR: Not only fatty acid synthase, but in fact all key enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis as well as key metabolic regulators are potential targets for antineoplastic intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of Cancer Cell Apoptosis by Flavonoids Is Associated with Their Ability to Inhibit Fatty Acid Synthase Activity

TL;DR: The findings indicate that the potential of flavonoids to induce apoptosis in cancer cells is strongly associated with their FAS inhibitory properties, thereby providing a new mechanism by which polyphenolic compounds may exert their cancer-preventive and antineoplastic effects.
