Cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) as a potent regulator of the ovarian primordial-to-primary follicle transition

189 views | Dec 11 2023

The study reveals that CDK6 inhibition using BSJ disrupts the primordial-to-primary follicle transition, emphasizing the crucial role of precise cell cycle regulation in ovarian follicle development and suggesting potential implications for fertility-related interventions. [Read the Full Post]

Targeting SWI/SNF ATPases in H3.3K27M diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas

84 views | Dec 02 2023

H3K27M mutations in diffuse midline gliomas reprogram the SWI/SNF complex, leading to upregulated SMARCA4 levels, and therapeutic targeting of SMARCA4, SMARCA2, and PBRM1 using AU-15330 selectively induces cytotoxicity in H3.3K27M-mutant cells, suggesting a potent and specific therapeutic strategy for these deadly childhood brain tumors.
