225Ac-Labeled Antibody for Fibroblast Activation Protein-Targeted Alpha Therapy
Targeted alpha therapy (TAT) is an innovative approach in cancer treatment that aims to selectively deliver high-energy radiation to cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. 225Ac, an alpha radionuclide with a half-life of 10 days and emitting 4 alpha particles and 2 beta particles in its decay chain, has shown promise for TAT ...

Design and validation of fibroblast activation protein alpha targeted imaging and therapeutic agents. [PDF]
Background: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) comprise a major cell type in the tumor microenvironment where they support tumor growth and survival by producing extracellular matrix, secreting immunosuppressive cytokines, releasing growth factors, and facilitating metastases.

Identification of Novel Natural Substrates of Fibroblast Activation Protein-alpha by Differential Degradomics and Proteomics. [PDF]
Fibroblast activation protein-alpha (FAP) is a cell-surface transmembrane-anchored dimeric protease. This unique, constitutively active serine protease has both dipeptidyl aminopeptidase and endopeptidase activities and can hydrolyze the post-proline bond.

Expression and role of fibroblast activation protein-alpha in microinvasive breast carcinoma [PDF]
Background Diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in breast cancer cases is challenging for pathologist due to a variety of in situ patterns and artefacts, which could be misinterpreted as stromal invasion. Microinvasion is detected by the presence

The effect of tranilast on fibroblast activation protein α (FAP-α) expression in normal and keloid fibroblasts in vitro [PDF]
Introduction . Tranilast (N-(3’,4’-demethoxycinnamoyl)-anthranilic acid) is an anti-allergic drug. Its mechanism of action is based on the inhibition of antigen-induced release of chemical mediators from mast cells and basophils. It also reveals antifibroproliferative activities.

Bioluminescent Probe for Monitoring Endogenous Fibroblast Activation Protein-Alpha
Fibroblast activation protein-α (FAP), as a crucial member of cell surface glycoprotein, highly expresses in reactive fibroblasts of tumors and several fibrosis diseases. It is a potential target for drug design and also reported as a prodrug strategy to increase the therapeutic window of some anticancer agents.
