A novel therapeutic strategy for pancreatic neoplasia using a novel RNAi platform targeting PDX-1 [PDF]
Bi-functional shRNA (bi-shRNA), a novel RNA interference (RNAi) effector platform targeting PDX-1 utilizing a systemic DOTAP-Cholesterol delivery vehicle, was studied in three mouse models of progressive pancreatic neoplasia.

Morphine Exposure During HIV Encephalitis in SCID Mice [PDF]
HIV encephalitis (HIVE) is often complicated by opiate abuse. Based on human pathological, animal and in vitro studies, opiates are thought to exacerbate HIVE. To test this hypothesis we exposed 10 week old SCID mice with HIVE to morphine and examined histopathological parameters.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) enrich the metabolic enzyme ATP‐citrate lyase (ACLY). EV‐transferred ACLY enhances palmitate biosynthesis, increases the S‐palmitoylation and stability of multiple immune checkpoint proteins, augments the cellular immunosuppressive activity, and ultimately accelerates the malignant ...

p53 independent epigenetic-differentiation treatment in xenotransplant models of acute myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Suppression of apoptosis by TP53 mutation contributes to resistance of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to conventional cytotoxic treatment. Using differentiation to induce irreversible cell cycle exit in AML cells could be a p53-independent treatment ...

Adriamycin nephropathy in severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice [PDF]
Experimental focal glomerulosclerosis is a model of chronic proteinuric renal disease that has been induced in both rats and mice. In mice, the adriamycin (ADR)induced nephropathy model is a robust experimental analogue of human focal glomerulosclerosis [1].

Vorinostat Potentiates Chemoimmunotherapy in Immune‐Enriched Pancreatic Cancer
Immune‐enriched pancreatic cancer does not confer a significant survival advantage. SAHA sensitizes these “hot” tumors to chemoimmunotherapy by disrupting a FASN/PARP9‐driven “metabolic trap” and enhancing CD8+ T cell function. A CD8high/FASNhigh/PARP9high signature identifies patients who are most likely to benefit from the “gemcitabine‐nivolumab‐SAHA”

Stereoselective Biotransformation: Transfer of Learning to Advance Drug Metabolism and Biocatalysis
Understanding stereoselective biotransformations has implications for predicting drug disposition and response and may also inspire novel biocatalytic and biomimetic strategies to address challenges in metabolite and API synthesis. ABSTRACT Chirality is an important determinant of drug action, as enantiomers can exhibit markedly different ...

Engineered Tumor-Targeted T Cells Mediate Enhanced Anti-Tumor Efficacy Both Directly and through Activation of the Endogenous Immune System. [PDF]
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has proven clinically beneficial against B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, suboptimal clinical outcomes have been associated with decreased expansion and persistence of
