Anti-Tumor APIs: Pioneering Cancer Treatment Anti-tumor Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are vital in today's medical landscape, addressing one of the most pressing health challenges: cancer. These APIs form the foundation of various therapeutic strategies aimed at inhibiting or destroying tumor cells in the human body. The classification of anti-tumor APIs often falls into four main ...
Diabetes is a common clinical disease, and with the improvement of living standards, an increase in the number of obese people, and the intensification of aging populations, the incidence of diabetes is increasing year by year. Diabetes has various types and requires long-term treatment. Antidiabetic drugs are essential for people with the disease. These drugs can be classified into insulin ...
Mesothelin is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell surface glycoprotein. Its biological function has not yet been clarified, but due to its limited distribution in normal tissues and high expression in some tumor tissues, it is expected to be used in tumor-specific treatment. In existing studies of human epidermoid carcinoma cell lines expressing mesothelin, biodistribution analysis ...
Structure and function of mesothelin The MSLN gene is located in chromosome 16p13. It contains 17 exons, with a cDNA length of about 2138bp, has a 1884-bp open reading frame, and encodes the precursor protein of 628 amino acids (69 kDa). This precursor protein can be hydrolyzed by furin protease into two parts: mesothelin in the size of 40 kDa fragments and 31 kDa secreted fragments called ...
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have found that interferon gamma receptor (IFNgR) signaling is essential for the susceptibility of CAR-T cell immunotherapy to kill malignant gliomas. The same phenomenon has been observed in other solid tumors. The findings may partially explain why liquid and solid tumors respond very differently to CAR-T cell therapy. Chimeric antigen ...
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of RNAs that do not code for proteins and are typically greater than 200 nucleotides in length. Studies have shown that lncRNAs are quite complex in function and play an important role in various biological processes such as development, differentiation, proliferation, metastasis, apoptosis, stem cell pluripotency, and DNA damage. Therefore, those ...
Glycosylation is a sophisticated type of post-translational modification that impacts over 50% of cellular proteins and is a critical regulator of many eukaryotic processes. Aberrant glycosylation is a common hallmark of many malignancies and is important at all stages of tumor growth. Glycosylation regulates a range of physiopathological processes, including cell-cell adhesion, cell-matrix ...
Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor of the digestive tract that is difficult to diagnose and treat, and the morbidity and mortality rates have risen dramatically in recent years. Pancreatic cancer is at an advanced stage when diagnosed when cancer cells have spread and are hard to control. The most frequent pancreatic cancer is pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), accounting for ...
Hyaluronic acid is known to be present in pancreatic tumors. However, in a new study, researchers from the University of Michigan Roger Cancer Center and the University of Pennsylvania found that hyaluronic acid also acts as a food for cancer cells. The results provide new insights into how pancreatic cancer cells grow and point to new possibilities for the treatment of this cancer. The relevant ...
The conversation around diabetes reversal has increased, and when researching diabetes there are numerous states to this claim, but how realistic is it? Sadly, diabetes affects a huge number of people worldwide and is responsible for blindness, kidney disease, limb amputation and death. WHO estimates that diabetes was the seventh leading cause of death in 2016[1] and 422 million adults currently ...
The proton beam was investigated for cancer cell therapy in the pancreas. Neon ion interaction profiles were compared with the result of the proton beam, which was investigated for nanoscale ion beam interactions. Simulation for the Bragg peak calculation was performed for interactions with a human organ, the pancreas. The results show the absorbed dose and dose equivalent, which vary with the ...
The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor PTF1a is critical to the development of the embryonic pancreas. It is required early for the formation of the undifferentiated tubular epithelium of the nascent pancreatic rudiment and then becomes restricted to the differentiating acinar cells, where it directs the transcriptional activation of the secretory digestive enzyme genes. Here we ...
