Mass spectrometry in ocular drug research
Abstract Mass spectrometry (MS) has been proven as an excellent tool in ocular drug research allowing analyzes from small samples and low concentrations. This review begins with a short introduction to eye physiology and ocular pharmacokinetics and the relevance of advancing ophthalmic treatments.

Characterization of Zika virus endocytic pathways in human glioblastoma cells [PDF]
Zika virus (ZIKV) infections can cause microcephaly and neurological disorders. However, the early infection events of ZIKV in neural cells remain to be characterized. Here, by using a combination of pharmacological and molecular approaches and the human

Caveolin-1 mediates the expression and localization of cathepsin B, pro-urokinase plasminogen activator and their cell-surface receptors in human colorectal carcinoma cells [PDF]
Cathepsin B and pro-urokinase plasminogen activator (pro-uPA) localize to the caveolae of HCT 116 human colorectal carcinoma cells, an association mediated by active K-RAS.

Caveolin-1 in sarcomas: friend or foe?
Sarcomas represent a heterogeneous group of tumors with a complex and difficult reproducible classification. Their pathogenesis is poorly understood and there are few effective treatment options for advanced disease. Caveolin-1 is a multifunctional scaffolding protein with multiple binding partners that regulates multiple cancer-associated processes ...

Caveolin-1 is a risk factor for postsurgery metastasis in preclinical melanoma models [PDF]
Melanomas are highly lethal skin tumours that are frequently treated by surgical resection. However, the efficacy of such procedures is often limited by tumour recurrence and metastasis. Caveolin-1 (CAV1) has been attributed roles as a tumour suppressor,
