Abstract
Mammalian cells are prone to tumorigenesis when suffering the genotoxic stresses, and the existence of the tumor suppressors validly decrease this possibility. Gadd45α is one of the growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible (Gadd) 45 gene family members and serves as a stress sensor and tumor suppressor under most stress conditions, which is evidenced by cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, senescence or apoptosis triggered by induction of GADD45α expression. However, some recent reports have challenged this notion by demonstrating the correlation of GADD45α expression to cell survival and even progression of certain tumor cells. Therefore, GADD45?? seems to exert multiple roles in stress signaling and tumor development. Elucidation of the related mechanisms will be helpful for the establishment of novel tumor therapeutic strategy targeting GADD45α.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
