A 3D Pancreatic Cancer Model with Integrated Optical Sensors for Noninvasive Metabolism Monitoring and Drug Screening [PDF]
A distinct feature of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a prominent tumor microenvironment (TME) with remarkable cellular and spatial heterogeneity that meaningfully impacts disease biology and treatment resistance. The dynamic crosstalk between cancer cells and the dense stromal compartment leads to spatially and temporally heterogeneous ...

Superhigh-sensitivity photothermal monitoring of individual cell response to antitumor drug.
We describe and explore the capability of a photothermal (PT) assay with modified schematics for highly sensitive detection of individual cell response to antitumor drug impact in vitro. Specifically, we used the nonlinear differential PT test to measure

In Vitro Cytotoxic Effects of Ferruginol Analogues in Sk-MEL28 Human Melanoma Cells
Ferruginol is a promising abietane-type antitumor diterpene able to induce apoptosis in SK-Mel-28 human malignant melanoma. We aim to increase this activity by testing the effect of a small library of ferruginol analogues.

High-throughput identification of genotype-specific cancer vulnerabilities in mixtures of barcoded tumor cell lines. [PDF]
Hundreds of genetically characterized cell lines are available for the discovery of genotype-specific cancer vulnerabilities. However, screening large numbers of compounds against large numbers of cell lines is currently impractical, and such experiments

Anticancer Activities of Meroterpenoids Isolated from the Brown Alga Cystoseira usneoides against the Human Colon Cancer Cells HT-29 [PDF]
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common types of cancers and a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The current treatment for CRC mainly involves surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. However, due to the side effects and the emergence of

Peripheral blood proteome biomarkers distinguish immunosuppressive features of cancer progression
Immune status significantly influences cancer progression. This study used plasma proteomics to analyze benign 67NR and malignant 4T1 breast tumor models at early and late tumor stages. Immune‐related proteins–osteopontin (Spp1), lactotransferrin (Ltf), calreticulin (Calr) and peroxiredoxin 2 (Prdx2)–were associated with systemic myeloid‐derived ...

Estimation of In-Vitro Free Radical Scavenging and Cytotoxic Activities of Thiocarbohydrazones Derivatives [PDF]
Objective: To investigate free radical scavenging potential of thiocarbohydrazones derivatives for the discovery of antioxidant compounds of synthetic origin. Method: Eighteen thiocarbohydrazones derivatives were screened for antioxidant activities by using in vitro radical inhibition assay.

TOMM20 increases cancer aggressiveness by maintaining a reduced state with increased NADH and NADPH levels, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and apoptosis resistance while reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Conversely, CRISPR‐Cas9 knockdown of TOMM20 alters these cancer‐aggressive traits.

Mitochondrial pathway mediates the antileukemic effects of Hemidesmus indicus, a promising botanical drug. [PDF]
BackgroundAlthough cancers are characterized by the deregulation of multiple signalling pathways, most current anticancer therapies involve the modulation of a single target.

VDDB: a comprehensive resource and machine learning platform for antiviral drug discovery [PDF]
Virus infection is one of the major diseases that seriously threaten human health. To meet the growing demand for mining and sharing data resources related to antiviral drugs and to accelerate the design and discovery of new antiviral drugs, we presented an open-access antiviral drug resource and machine learning platform (VDDB), which, to the best of ...
