Identification of selective SWI/SNF dependencies in enzalutamide-resistant prostate cancer by Bengul Gokbayrak, Umut Berkay Altintas, Shreyas Lingadahalli, Tunc Morova, Chia-Chi Flora Huang, Betul Ersoy Fazlioglu, Ivan Pak Lok Yu, Batuhan M. Kalkan, Paloma Cejas, Sonia H. Y. Kung, Ladan Fazli, Akane Kawamura, Henry W. Long, Ceyda Acilan, Tamer T. Onder, Tugba Bagci-Onder, James T. Lynch, Nathan A. Lack

“…Given that many enzalutamide-resistant tumors lack specific somatic mutations, there is strong evidence that epigenetic factors can cause enzalutamide resistance. To explore how resistance arises, we systematically test all epigenetic modifiers in several models of castration-resistant and enzalutamide-resistant prostate cancer with a custom epigenetic CRISPR library. …”

Cerebrovascular ageing: how zebrafish can contribute to solving the puzzle by Guy Malkinson, Guy Malkinson, Catarina M. Henriques, Catarina M. Henriques

“…Importantly, we do not understand why this is different in different individuals in what concerns rate of dysfunction and its downstream impact on brain function. Here we explore how the zebrafish has evolved as an attractive complementary ageing model and how it could provide key insights to understanding the mechanisms underlying cerebrovascular ageing and downstream consequences.…”
