The evolution of sex-specific virulence in infectious diseases OPEN
Francisco Úbeda and Vincent A. A. Jansen
Many infectious diseases are more likely to progress to serious illness or death in men than in women, which has been attributed to a stronger immune response in women. Here, the authors propose that pathogen transmission from mother to child favours the evolution of lower virulence in women, and argue that the higher risk of HTLV-1 infection progressing to leukaemia in Japanese men is due to prolonged breastfeeding in Japan.

Ailanthone targets p23 to overcome MDV3100 resistance in castration-resistant prostate cancer OPEN
Yundong He, Shihong Peng, Jinhua Wang, Huang Chen, Xiaonan Cong, Ang Chen, Meichun Hu, Min Qin, Haigang Wu, Shuman Gao, Liguo Wang, Xin Wang, Zhengfang Yi and Mingyao Liu
Prostate cancers often become castration resistant due to alternative expression of androgen receptor (AR) splice variants. Here, the authors screened a library of natural compounds and identified Ailanthone as a potent inhibitor of AR through its binding to the co-chaperone protein p23 that, by preventing AR interaction with HSP90, results in ubiquitin/proteasome-mediated degradation of the receptor.
