From the Catastrophic Objective Irreproducibility of Cancer Research and Unavoidable Failures of Molecular Targeted Therapies to the Sparkling Hope of Supramolecular Targeted Strategies

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors highlight some general principles in the organization and evolution of cancerous tumors, which objectively lead to their enormous variability and, consequently, the irreproducibility of the results of their investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A model for identification of potential phase-separated proteins based on protein sequence, structure and cellular distribution.

TL;DR: In this article , a workflow for screening phase-separated proteins and identifying a cell cycle-related phase separation protein, serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2 (SRSF2), was developed.

The cancer genome

TL;DR: This work has shown that the complete DNA sequence of large numbers of cancer genomes will be possible to obtain and will provide a detailed and comprehensive perspective on how individual cancers have developed.

Master Transcription Factors and Mediator Establish Super-Enhancers at Key Cell Identity Genes

TL;DR: In this article, the ESC master transcription factors form unusual enhancer domains at most genes that control the pluripotent state, called super-enhancers, which consist of clusters of enhancers that are densely occupied by the master regulators and Mediator.

Super-Enhancers in the Control of Cell Identity and Disease

TL;DR: The super-enhancers are large clusters of transcriptional enhancers that drive expression of genes that define cell identity and play key roles in human cell identity in health and in disease as mentioned in this paper.

Cancer epigenetics: from mechanism to therapy.

TL;DR: The basic principles behind DNA methylation, histone modification, nucleosome remodeling, and RNA-mediated targeting are presented and the evidence suggesting that their misregulation can culminate in cancer is highlighted.

Liquid phase condensation in cell physiology and disease.

TL;DR: The findings together suggest that several membrane-less organelles have been shown to exhibit a concentration threshold for assembly, a hallmark of phase separation, and represent liquid-phase condensates, which form via a biologically regulated (liquid-liquid) phase separation process.
