KRT14 marks a subpopulation of bladder basal cells with pivotal role in regeneration and tumorigenesis

TL;DR: It is shown that a minor subpopulation of basal cells, characterized by the expression of keratin 14, possesses self-renewal capacity and also gives rise to all cell types of the urothelium during natural and injury-induced regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

The lysine-specific methyltransferase KMT2C/MLL3 regulates DNA repair components in cancer

TL;DR: It is shown that downregulation of K MT2C in bladder cancer cells leads to extensive changes in the epigenetic status and the expression of DNA damage response and DNA repair genes, suggesting that cancer cells with low KMT2C expression are attractive targets for therapies with PARP1/2 inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetic nanoparticles coated with polyarabic acid demonstrate enhanced drug delivery and imaging properties for cancer theranostic applications.

TL;DR: It is proposed that magnetic nanodevices coated with polyarabic acid offer a new avenue for theranostics efforts as efficient drug carriers, while providing excellent contrasting properties due to their ferrous magnetic core, which can help the future design of nanomaterials for cancer imaging and therapy.
