Sugar alcohol provides imaging contrast in cancer detection
(
NLM (Medline)
, 2019 , Article)
Clinical imaging is widely used to detect, characterize and stage cancers in addition to monitoring the therapeutic progress. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) aided by contrast agents utilizes the differential relaxivity ...
Cadmium-induced endothelial dysfunction mediated by asymmetric dimethylarginine.
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Cadmium (Cd) is a naturally occurring toxic heavy metal with no known essential biological functions. Exposure to Cd increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by disrupting vascular homeostasis at the endothelium. The ...
Tight Junction Proteins and Signaling Pathways in Cancer and Inflammation: A Functional Crosstalk.
(
Frontiers Media
, 2019 , Article)
The ability of epithelial cells to organize through cell-cell adhesion into a functioning epithelium serves the purpose of a tight epithelial protective barrier. Contacts between adjacent cells are made up of tight junctions ...
In Vitro and In Vivo Validation of GATA-3 Suppression for Induction of Adipogenesis and Improving Insulin Sensitivity
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Impaired adipogenesis is associated with the development of insulin resistance and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). GATA Binding Protein 3 (GATA3) is implicated in impaired adipogenesis and the onset of insulin ...
The potential role of vitamin C in empowering cancer immunotherapy
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Vitamin C also known as L-ascorbic acid is a nutrient naturally occurring in many fruits and vegetables and widely known for its potent antioxidant activity. Several studies have highlighted the importance of using high ...
Thiostrepton inhibits growth and induces apoptosis by targeting FoxM1/SKP2/MTH1 axis in B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells
(
Taylor and Francis Group
, 2021 , Article)
Forkhead box M1 (FoxM1) is a transcription factor that plays an important role in the etiology of many cancers, however, its role has not been elucidated in B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-pre-ALL). In the ...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer pathogenesis and therapy: An update on the role of ROS in anticancer action of benzophenanthridine alkaloids
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Reactive oxygen species play crucial role in biological homeostasis and pathogenesis of human diseases including cancer. In this line, now it has become evident that ROS level/concentration is a major factor in the growth, ...
Natural resorcylic acid lactones: A chemical biology approach for anticancer activity
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Resorcylic acid lactones (RALs) are fungal polyketides that consist of a β-resorcylic acid residue (2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid) embedded in a macrolactone ring. RALs exhibit a broad range of biological activities, including ...
Cross-talk between the microbiome and chronic inflammation in esophageal cancer: potential driver of oncogenesis
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Esophageal cancer (EC) is frequently considered a lethal malignancy and is often identified at a later stage. It is one of the major causes of cancer-related deaths globally. The conventional treatment methods like ...
Analysis of E2F1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms reveals deleterious non-synonymous substitutions that disrupt E2F1-RB protein interaction in cancer
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Cancer is a medical condition that is caused by the abnormal growth and division of cells, leading to the formation of tumors. The E2F1 and RB pathways are critical in regulating cell cycle, and their dysregulation can ...
