    Abstract Monitoring the human-exoskeleton interface (HEI) is vital for user safety in assistive exoskeletons. Considering interaction forces during design can improve comfort and efficiency and reduce resistance and inertia. Challenges include covering the lower limb area without interfering with user-robot interaction. This paper presents a force-sensitive resistor (FSR) based sensing sleeve for use within the HEI. The design includes 30 sensors and works independently of it to assess attachment modalities. System characterisation tests the system with human trials. Demonstrating that a low-cost, flexible sensing array can accurately monitor HEI. This provides a promising tool for assessing human-robot interaction and investigating wearable robotic device use.

    Abstract The nucleoli are subdomains of the nucleus that form around actively transcribed ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. They serve as the site of rRNA synthesis and processing, and ribosome assembly. There are 400-600 copies of rRNA genes (rDNA) in human cells and their highly repetitive and transcribed nature poses a challenge for DNA repair and replication machineries. It is only in the last 7 years that the DNA damage response and processes of DNA repair at the rDNA repeats have been recognized to be unique and distinct from the classic response to DNA damage in the nucleoplasm. In the last decade, the nucleolus has also emerged as a central hub for coordinating responses to stress via sequestering tumor suppressors, DNA repair and cell cycle factors until they are required for their functional role in the nucleoplasm. In this review, we focus on features of the rDNA repeats that make them highly vulnerable to DNA damage and the mechanisms by which rDNA damage is repaired. We highlight the molecular consequences of rDNA damage including activation of the nucleolar DNA damage response, which is emerging as a unique response that can be exploited in anti-cancer therapy. In this review, we focus on CX-5461, a novel inhibitor of Pol I transcription that induces the nucleolar DNA damage response and is showing increasing promise in clinical investigations.

    Abstract Acquired drug resistance leads to poor clinical outcome in high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). We have demonstrated the efficacy of the novel drug CX-5461 in HGSOC is mediated through destabilization of DNA replication forks. The data highlights the potential of CX-5461 in overcoming a general mechanism of chemotherapeutic resistance.

    Abstract Approximately a quarter of men with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) have alterations in homologous recombination repair (HRR). These patients exhibit enhanced sensitivity to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. Leveraging the synthetic lethality between PARP inhibition and HRR deficiency, studies have established marked clinical benefit and a survival advantage from PARP inhibitors (PARPi) in mCRPC, most notably in cancers with

    Abstract The high rates of protein synthesis and processing render multiple myeloma (MM) cells vulnerable to perturbations in protein homeostasis. The induction of proteotoxic stress by targeting protein degradation with proteasome inhibitors (PIs) has revolutionized the treatment of MM. However, resistance to PIs is inevitable and represents an ongoing clinical challenge. Our first-in-human study of the selective inhibitor of RNA polymerase I transcription of ribosomal RNA genes, CX-5461, has demonstrated a potential signal for anti-tumor activity in three of six heavily pre-treated MM patients. Here, we show that CX-5461 has potent anti-myeloma activity in PI-resistant MM preclinical models

    Abstract Ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis are fundamental rate-limiting steps for cell growth and proliferation. The ribosomal proteins (RPs), comprising the structural parts of the ribosome, are essential for ribosome assembly and function. In addition to their canonical ribosomal functions, multiple RPs have extra-ribosomal functions including activation of p53-dependent or p53-independent pathways in response to stress, resulting in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Defects in ribosome biogenesis, translation, and the functions of individual RPs, including mutations in RPs have been linked to a diverse range of human congenital disorders termed ribosomopathies. Ribosomopathies are characterized by tissue-specific phenotypic abnormalities and higher cancer risk later in life. Recent discoveries of somatic mutations in RPs in multiple tumor types reinforce the connections between ribosomal defects and cancer. In this article, we review the most recent advances in understanding the molecular consequences of RP mutations and ribosomal defects in ribosomopathies and cancer. We particularly discuss the molecular basis of the transition from hypo- to hyper-proliferation in ribosomopathies with elevated cancer risk, a paradox termed "Dameshek's riddle." Furthermore, we review the current treatments for ribosomopathies and prospective therapies targeting ribosomal defects. We also highlight recent advances in ribosome stress-based cancer therapeutics. Importantly, insights into the mechanisms of resistance to therapies targeting ribosome biogenesis bring new perspectives into the molecular basis of cancer susceptibility in ribosomopathies and new clinical implications for cancer therapy.
