Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

Murine c-erbB2: an oncogene that could be a target for vaccination therapy? : and the effect of HER2/c-erbB2/NeuT expression on cell signaling and milk protein formation in mouse mammary epithelial cells [PDF]
ErbB2 is an orphan receptor tyrosine kinase which can dimerize with other ligand-activated members of the EGF receptor family to signal in pathways inducing cell proliferation. Frequently overexpressed in breast cancer and other human cancers, homologs

Background Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by alveolar epithelial disruption. Lipoxins (LXs), as so-called “braking signals” of inflammation, are the first mediators identified to have dual anti-inflammatory and inflammatory ...

Telomerase activity impacts on Epstein-Barr virus infection of AGS cells. [PDF]
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is transmitted from host-to-host via saliva and is associated with epithelial malignancies including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and some forms of gastric carcinoma (GC).

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Growth regulation in Hydra. Relationship between epithelial cell cycle length and growth rate [PDF]
The relationship between epithelial cell production and growth rate was investigated in Hydra attenuata under different feeding regimes. The increase of epithelial cell number was compared to the duration of the epithelial cell cycle using standard ...

Subtype‐specific enhancer RNAs define transcriptional regulators and prognosis in breast cancers
This study employed machine learning methodologies to perform the subtype‐specific classification of RNA‐seq data sets, which are mapped on enhancers from TCGA‐derived breast cancer patients. Their integration with gene expression (referred to as ProxCReAM eRNAs) and chromatin accessibility profiles has the potential to identify lineage‐specific and ...

The Influence of extracellular matrix on lens epithelial cell viability [PDF]
Posterior capsular opacification is the main complication of cataract surgery and results from the proliferation, migration and differentiation of lens epithelial cells remaining in the capsular bag. To better understand this pathological cell behaviour,

Visfatin reduces gap junction mediated cell-to-cell communication in proximal tubule-derived epithelial cells [PDF]
Background/Aims: In the current study we examined if the adipocytokine, visfatin, alters connexinmediated intercellular communication in proximal tubule-derived epithelial cells.

Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) reduces growth of HPV‐positive cervical cancer spheroids and induces ferroptosis in cervical cancer cells via blocking SLC7A11/Glutathione (GSH) axis. Combination of subcytotoxic doses of DMF and cisplatin (CDDP) further suppresses spheroid growth and drives cell death in 2D culture models.
