Using a dynamic, tri‐culture air‐blood barrier model, this study reveals that macrophage‐mediated transport governs micron‐sized particle translocation under cyclic strain. The process is highly size‐dependent that 2 µm particles are transported by macrophages, 0.2 µm particles diffuse passively, and 5 µm particles are effectively blocked.

Identification and characterization of dysregulated P-element induced wimpy testis-interacting RNAs in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. [PDF]
It is clear that alcohol consumption is a major risk factor in the pathogenesis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC); however, the molecular mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of alcohol-associated HNSCC remains poorly understood.

FPD‐GELNs co‐deliver Su and bioactive components. This active‐passive dual‐targeting strategy suppresses the progression of RCC through the following mechanisms: 1) inhibition of the PI3K‐Akt signaling pathway; 2) downregulation of ABCB1/P‐gp to enhance the chemosensitivity of RCC to Su; and 3) reprogramming of macrophages toward M1 polarization and ...

Point: From animal models to prevention of colon cancer. Systematic review of chemoprevention in min mice and choice of the model system. [PDF]
The Apc(Min/+) mouse model and the azoxymethane (AOM) rat model are the main animal models used to study the effect of dietary agents on colorectal cancer. We reviewed recently the potency of chemopreventive agents in the AOM rat model (D. E.

Atrazine and cancer incidence among pesticide applicators in the agricultural health study (1994-2007). [PDF]
Atrazine is a triazine herbicide used widely in the United States. Although it is an animal carcinogen, the mechanism in rodents does not appear to operate in humans.
