Got a buncha MCMs too!!!
I just do a Tools—>Retry pending transfers and after trying that a couple of times it uploaded my MCM jobs but it hasn’t downloaded anything new and tells me “Communication deferred”
A few people out on Facebook commenting that they haven’t had any work to do for days. I’ve switched over to an amicable numbers project which is probably fairly pointless in life, but I don’t know what else to choose.
You guys pick your projects? I think I just let them assign me whatever.
Africa Rainfall was a pig to run, so I unchecked it from my list for a while.

They did say on their website they were just getting things going a day or two ago and I got a few tasks from them but that was it haven’t checked today yet
I’ve only been getting tasks occasionally the last couple weeks. It does help to manually request tasks but this doesn’t always work and I’m not going to sit around babysitting the computer.
Ain’t nobody got time for that!

Research update from the MCM team (January 2024)
We continue our work on characterizing lung cancer biomarkers identified in the MCM1 project. This update focuses on PCSK5, a gene associated with lung cancer survival and which shows differential expression across various cancer types.
Project: Mapping Cancer Markers
Published on: 16 Jan 2024
Terminology
- Proprotein: An inactive protein that can be modified to become an active protein.
- VACTERL association: A complex condition characterized by multiple congenital anatomical defects, including vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheo-esophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and limb abnormalities (VACTERL).
- Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome: A rare congenital disorder characterized by anatomical defects in the urogenital tract.
Background
Precision medicine is enabled by using molecular markers (signatures) that identify disease early, and stratify patients into subgroups with different disease progression patterns, leading to potentially different treatment strategies. The Mapping Cancer Markers project analyzes data sets with millions of data points collected from patients with cancers and sarcomas to find such diagnostic, prognostic and predictive signatures.
Since November 2013, World Community Grid volunteers have donated over 875,900 CPU years to the project, helping analyse data on lung and ovarian cancer and sarcoma, much more thoroughly than otherwise possible. We are immensely grateful for the volunteers who continue to donate to this project.
Further characterising the 26 top-scoring genes in lung cancer, we have already discussed VAMP1, FARP1, GSDMB, ADH6, and IL13RA1 (in our March, April, July, September, and November 2023 updates). Here, we outline information on PCSK5.
PCSK5 Research
PCSK5 encodes proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 5, a serine endoproteinase that processes different proproteins (Uniprot). PCSK5 has been implicated in diverse biological processes. Studies in mice have revealed that it is involved in early heart development[1] and ovarian follicle development[2]. Another study suggested that it may facilitate SARS-CoV-2 entry into myocardial tissue[3]. Genetic variation in PCSK5 has been demonstrated to modulate high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels[4]. In addition to its association with cancer, links have been identified between PCSK5 and other diseases. For example, mutations in PCSK5 have been identified in patients with the VACTERL association[5] and Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome[6]. PCSK5 has also been identified as a diagnostic biomarker for endometriosis[7] and inflammatory skin disease[8].
As with the other genes we have presented, we found that PCSK5 has a protective role in lung cancer (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Survival curves for patients with high and low expression of PCSK5 (KMplot).
We investigated further to see if this finding is seen in other cancers. As shown in Figure 2, PCSK5 is differentially expressed in normal tissue compared with cancer tissue across most cancer types (red labels). In most of the cases, it is the loss of PCSK5 expression that is associated with cancer, except liver, renal, stomach and testicular cancers. The literature also supports this observation, as associations have been documented between PCSK5 expression and colorectal cancer[9], brain cancer[10], osteosarcoma[11], and renal cancer[12].
Figure 2. Expression of PCSK5 in normal and cancer tissue for multiple cancer types. Red text represents a significant difference between expression in cancer tissue compared with normal tissue (TNMplot).If you have any questions or comments, please leave them in this thread for us to answer. Thank you for your support!

Research update from the OPN team (February 2024)
The Open Pandemics team has released new work units, which are targeting the DNA polymerase of cytomegalovirus.
Project: OpenPandemics - COVID-19
Published on: 14 Feb 2024
Terminology
- DNA polymerase: An enzyme, made up of multiple subunits, that builds DNA by assembling nucleotides.
Background
Scientists at Scripps Research are doing molecular modeling simulations to look for possible candidates for the development of treatments for viruses, including COVID-19. This research requires massive computing power to carry out millions of simulated laboratory experiments. The molecules identified as promising candidates are then tested in laboratories by collaborators of the OPN team.
Work unit update
New work units are targeting the DNA polymerase of cytomegalovirus, a common virus which is particularly harmful to pregnant or immunocompromised individuals. The goal is to identify small molecule binders to one of the polymerase subunits, preventing its interaction with another polymerase subunit, and thereby disrupting the assembly of a functional polymerase. About 40 million molecules from Enamine will be simulated to identify candidates for purchase and evaluation by our collaborators.

Research Update from the MCM Team (February 2024)
We continue our work on characterising lung cancer biomarkers identified in the MCM1 project. This update focuses on a transcriptional corepressor TLE3.
Project: Mapping Cancer Markers
Published on: 16 Feb 2024
Terminology
- Transcription factor: A protein that binds to DNA to control the rate at which DNA is transcribed to messenger RNA.
- Trancriptional corepressor: A protein that indirectly represses expression of genes by binding to transcription factors.
- Sheehan’s syndrome: Postpartum anterior pituitary hormone deficiency due to necrosis of the pituitary gland. This is usually the result of massive hemorrhage during or after delivery.
Background
Identifying molecular markers and their combination (signatures) enables us to detect disease earlier (diagnostic signatures) and stratify patients into subgroups based on disease progression patterns (prognostic signatures), potentially leading to identifying which patients may benefit from what treatment (predictive signatures). The Mapping Cancer Markers project analyzes data sets with millions of data points collected from patients with cancers and sarcomas to find such diagnostic, prognostic and predictive signatures.
Since November 2013, World Community Grid volunteers have donated over 887,100 CPU years to the project, helping analyse data on lung and ovarian cancer and sarcoma, much more thoroughly than otherwise possible. We are immensely grateful for this continued support.
Further characterising the 26 top-scoring genes in lung cancer, we have already discussed VAMP1, FARP1, GSDMB, ADH6, IL13RA1, and PCSK5 in previous MCM updates. Here, we outline information on TLE3.
TLE3 Research
TLE3 encodes a protein called transducin-like enhancer protein 3, which is a transcriptional corepressor that binds to several transcription factors (Uniprot). TLE3 has been implicated in immune functions. Studies have suggested that TLE3 promotes memory B cell development[1] and is involved in the maintenance of intestinal immune homeostasis[2]. One study also found that TLE3 expression was significantly increased in patients with Sheehan’s syndrome compared to controls[3].
TLE3 was found to have a protective role in lung cancer, in line with the genes we have previously presented (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Survival curves for patients with high and low expression of TLE3 (KMplot).
This overall survival trend is even stronger for females, as depicted in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Survival curves for female lung cancer patients with high and low expression of TLE3 (KMplot).
We investigated further to see whether TLE3 expression was also associated with other cancers. As shown in Figure 3, comparing cancer to normal tissue, TLE3 is differentially expressed across most cancers (highlighted with red font). Within the literature, TLE3 expression has been associated with melanoma[4], rhabdomyosarcoma[5], ovarian cancer responsiveness to treatment[6], breast cancer prognosis[7] and responsiveness to treatment[8].

chatgpt summary
Summary:
The MCM Team’s research update for February 2024 focuses on characterizing lung cancer biomarkers, particularly the transcriptional corepressor TLE3, within the Mapping Cancer Markers project. TLE3 encodes a protein involved in immune functions and has been found to have a protective role in lung cancer. The study indicates that TLE3 expression is associated with various cancers, including melanoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and more. The research also explores TLE3’s differential expression in normal and cancer tissues across multiple cancer types. Notably, TLE3 shows increased expression in patients with Sheehan’s syndrome. The findings suggest TLE3’s potential as a marker for cancer prognosis, responsiveness to treatment, and its role in maintaining immune homeostasis. The update includes survival curves illustrating the impact of TLE3 expression on overall survival, particularly in female lung cancer patients.
