The Contribution of Cholesterol and Squalene Synthase in Cancer: Molecular Mechanisms, Lipid Rafts and Therapeutic Approaches

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A plethora of cellular signaling pathways are dysregulated in cancer cells, promoting carcinogenesis and migration. Cholesterol has recently been linked to cancer by several subcellular mechanisms, especially by its involvement in the formation of lipid rafts, which promote oncogenic signaling and cancer cell invasion. Squalene synthase (SQS),

Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...

Enhancing Selective Brain Cancer Therapy: Integrating Nanomedicine and Molecular Dynamics to Target the Cancerous Lipid Composition

Nano Select, EarlyView.
Improving selectivity within therapeutic design is critical to ensure targeted delivery to brain tumors. Targeting the cellular membrane composition distinctive of the blood–brain barrier and brain cancer cells is explored in this review. Nanomedicine can be utilized for precise tumor recognition, and detailed mechanistic interactions of therapeutics ...

Senescent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Differentially Alter Adipogenesis in Adipose Tissue, Skeletal Muscle, and Bone Marrow

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Aging alters mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) function, leading to dysregulated adipogenesis across tissues through biased lineage commitment. Fat redistribution from adipose depots to skeletal muscle and bone marrow is common in aging, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Exploration of Therapeutic Targets Using CDK4 Inhibitors for Head and Neck Mucosal Melanoma

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Mucosal melanoma (MM) is an extremely aggressive malignant tumor in the head and neck region associated with a poor prognosis. In the present study, we conducted cell proliferation assay and western blotting using cell lines derived from MM and the immunohistochemical analysis of pathological MM tissues to identify novel therapeutic ...
