Connecting Metainflammation and Neuroinflammation Through the PTN-MK-RPTP β/ζ Axis: Relevance in Therapeutic Development
Conclusion The expression of the components of the PTN-MK-RPTPβ/ζ axis in immune cells and in inflammatory diseases suggests important roles for this axis in inflammation. Pleiotrophin has been recently identified as a limiting factor of metainflammation, a chronic pathological state that contributes to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Pleiotrophin also seems to potentiate acute neuroinflammation independently of the inflammatory stimulus while MK seems to play different -even opposite- roles in acute neuroinflammation depending on the stimulus. Which are the functions of MK and PTN in chronic neuroi...

Abstract C131: 'KRAS addiction an artifact of 2D culture? Inhibitors of the mut-KRAS NSCLC 3D growth
Conclusion: Variable enhanced growth dependence on mut-KRAS ("addiction") is seen in 2D but not 3D. Potent and specific inhibition of mut-KRAS cell line growth by CNK1 PH-domain inhibitors is considerably more robust in 3D culture suggesting a novel approach to inhibit mut-KRAS effect on cancer growth.Citation Format: D.
