The gut microbiome consists of a multi-kingdom microbial community. Whilst the role of bacteria as causal contributors governing host physiological development is well established, the role of fungi remains to be determined. Here, we use germ-free mice colonized with defined species of bacteria, fun...
Ribosomal protein mutations are increasingly associated with cancer risk and thought to perturb ribosome function. At the same time, they reportedly activate p53, a critical anti-cancer barrier. To determine how these mutations overcome this protective block to enable tumorigenesis, we generated an ...
sorafenib is the treatment of reference for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We applied sorafenib on the human HCC cell line Huh7 and the subclone shRb, carrying a stable knock-down of the expression of the RB1 gene, a key regulator of liver carcinogenesis. Our aim was to better understand the physio...
