December 2019 in “The EMBO Journal” This study found that the E3 ligases NEDD4 and NEDD4L regulate intestinal stem cell priming by degrading the LGR5 receptor, and their loss leads to increased Wnt activation and crypt proliferation, which in turn accelerates intestinal tumor progression in mice.
January 2025 in “The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine” This study found that keloid patients exhibited significantly higher expression levels of NEDD4-TV3 and IGF-1 genes compared to controls, indicating a potential role of these genes in predicting and understanding keloid formation.
In this study, researchers explored ubiquitination patterns in healthy human skin and CYLD cutaneous syndrome tumors, identifying extensive ubiquitin sites and differential protein ubiquitination linked to tumor pathology, highlighting the role of ubiquitination in tissue architecture and disease mechanisms.
