      Viral diseases remain serious threats to public health because of the shortage of effective means of control. To combat the surge of viral diseases, new treatments are urgently needed. Here we show that small-molecules, ...
    • Chemical, Physical and Biological Triggers of Evolutionary Sonserved Bcl-xL-Mediated Apoptosis

      Background: The evidence that pan-Bcl-2 or Bcl-xL-specific inhibitors prematurely kill virus-infected or RNA/DNA-transfected cells provides rationale for investigating these apoptotic inducers further. We hypothesized that ...
    • Multi-modal meta-analysis of cancer cell line omics profiles identifies ECHDC1 as a novel breast tumor suppressor 

      Jaiswal, Alok; Gautam, Prson; Pietilä, Elina A; Timonen, Sanna; Nordström, Nora; Akimov, Yevhen; Sipari, Nina; Tanoli, Ziaurrehman; Fleischer, Thomas; Lehti, Kaisa; Wennerberg, Krister; Aittokallio, Tero Antero (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Molecular and functional profiling of cancer cell lines is subject to laboratory-specific experimental practices and data analysis protocols. The current challenge therefore is how to make an integrated use of the omics ...
