A 3D Bioprinted Spheroid‐Laden dECM‐Enriched Osteosarcoma Model for Enhanced Drug Testing and Therapeutic Discovery

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D biomimetic OS model was developed by bioprinting an OS‐cell‐derived dECM‐enriched bioink with OS spheroids incorporated. The model showed upregulation of known OS prognostic markers and increased resistance to doxorubicin, compared to 2D cultures and scaffold‐free spheroids, making this a more clinically relevant platform for drug discovery ...

The mRNA expression and enzymatic activity of three enzymes during embryonic development of the hard tick Haemaphysalis longicornis

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Three main enzymes including cathepsin B, cathepsin D and acid phosphatase are involved in vitellin degradation, which is a major biochemical event of the embryonic development and can provide nutrients and metabolites for tick embryos. In the

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Cathepsin D in Breast Cancer Tissue

open access: yesThe International Journal of Biological Markers, 1990
The cathepsin D concentration in 18 women with benign breast pathology has a cut-off value of 43 pmol/mg of protein. High values have been detected in two cases of chronic mastitis. These high values of cathepsin D were found in a study of 62 patients suffering from breast cancer and are independent of the hormone dependent state of the tumour.

CCDC41 Drives Oocyte Meiotic Progression by Promoting Rab11a/Rab7‐Positive Vesicle Fusion with Target Membranes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
CCDC41 is essential for meiotic maturation in mouse oocytes through regulating Rab7‐positive endosomes fusion with lysosomes and Rab11a‐positive vesicle fusion with the plasma membrane. Abstract Coiled‐coil domain‐containing protein 41 (CCDC41), a core component of centriolar distal appendages involved in centriole assembly and ciliary vesicle docking,

Lysosomal proteases are involved in generation of N-terminal huntingtin fragments

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2006
N-terminal mutant huntingtin (N-mhtt) fragments form inclusions and cause cell death in vitro. Mutant htt expression stimulates autophagy and increases levels of lysosomal proteases. Here, we show that lysosomal proteases, cathepsins D, B and L, affected

A Novel Combination Therapy Approach Targeting STAT3 and Autophagy in Glioblastoma

open access: yesAutophagy Reports, 2022
The aggressive brain cancer glioblastoma (GBM) is notoriously resistant to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which drives tumor recurrence and relapse. GBM cells are highly addicted to STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) and STAT3 ...

Interactions of Antibody Drug Conjugate Anti‐Tubulin and Topoisomerase I Inhibitor Payloads with Radiotherapy to Potentiate Immunotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Antibody drug conjugates deliver their cytotoxic anti‐tubulin or topoisomerase I inhibitor payloads to tumors through cancer cell receptor targeting. The released drug payloads induce cellular changes that interact with radiotherapy resulting in radiosensitization that improves cancer cell kill and stimulates anti‐tumor immune responses.

Cathepsin B inhibition interferes with metastatic potential of human melanoma: an in vitro and in vivo study

open access: yesMolecular Cancer, 2010
Background Cathepsins represent a group of proteases involved in determining the metastatic potential of cancer cells. Among these are cysteinyl- (e.g. cathepsin B and cathepsin L) and aspartyl-proteases (e.g.
