Establishment and characteristics of GWH04, a new primary human glioblastoma cell line
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a common and fatal disease of the central nervous system. GBM cell lines are fundamental tools used in GBM research. The establishment of novel continuous GBM cell lines with clear genetic backgrounds could facilitate the

Are plants with anti-cancer activity resistant to crown gall? : A test of hypothesis [PDF]
The Crown gall tumour assay (CGTA) is one of several bench top bioassays recommended for the rapid screening of plants with anti-cancer activity. The rationale for the use of the bioassay is that the tumorogenic mechanism initiated in plant tissues by ...

Presurgery 72‐h fasting in GB patients leads to adaptations of plasma lipids and polar metabolites. Fasting reduces lysophosphatidylcholines and increases free fatty acids, shifts triglycerides toward long‐chain TGs and increases branched‐chain amino acids, alpha aminobutyric acid, and uric acid.

This study investigates an alternative approach to reactivating the oncosuppressor p53 in cancer. A short peptide targeting the association of the two p53 inhibitors, MDM2 and MDM4, induces an otherwise therapeutically active p53 with unique features that promote cell death and potentially reduce toxicity towards proliferating nontumor cells.

Research and development of MolAICal for drug design via deep learning and classical programming [PDF]
Deep learning methods have permeated into the research area of computer-aided drug design. The deep learning generative model and classical algorithm can be simultaneously used for three-dimensional (3D) drug design in the 3D pocket of the receptor. Here, three aspects of MolAICal are illustrated for drug design: in the first part, the MolAICal uses ...

Inhibition of bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) proteins increases NKG2D ligand MICA expression and sensitivity to NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity in multiple myeloma cells. role of cMYC-IRF4-miR-125b interplay [PDF]
Background: Anticancer immune responses may contribute to the control of tumors after conventional chemotherapy and different observations have indicated that chemotherapeutic agents can induce immune responses resulting in cancer cell death and immune ...

Elevated level of cholesterol is positively correlated to prostate cancer development and disease severity. Cholesterol‐lowering drugs, such as statins, are demonstrated to inhibit prostate cancer. VNPP433‐3β interrupts multiple signaling and metabolic pathways, including cholesterol biosynthesis, AR‐mediated transcription of several oncogenes, mRNA 5′

RECOVER: sequential model optimization platform for combination drug repurposing identifies novel synergistic compounds in vitro [PDF]
For large libraries of small molecules, exhaustive combinatorial chemical screens become infeasible to perform when considering a range of disease models, assay conditions, and dose ranges. Deep learning models have achieved state of the art results in silico for the prediction of synergy scores.

High-throughput approaches to discover novel immunomodulatory agents for cancer [PDF]
The clinical success of immunomodulatory thalidomide derivatives has renewed the general interest in immunomodulatory anticancer compounds and prompted us to develop a high-throughput system to quantify immune effector-cell activity.
