Update of the risk assessment on emerging and novel brominated flame retardants in food
Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2012 risk assessment on Emerging and Novel brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in food. Since the previous Opinion, further information was collected for a total of 27 BFRs. The CONTAM Panel concluded that TDBPP, DBPNG and TBNPA are considered genotoxic and carcinogenic.

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

A robust system for RNA interference in the chicken using a modified microRNA operon [PDF]
RNA interference (RNAi) provides an effective method to silence gene expression and investigate gene function. However, RNAi tools for the chicken embryo have largely been adapted from vectors designed for mammalian cells.

Exosomal miR‐4644 Targets SPRY3 to Promote Proliferation and Invasion of Pancreatic Cancer
ABSTRACT Background Tumor‐derived exosomes (TDEs) can carry diverse genetic material that modulates pancreatic cancer (PC) proliferation and invasion. Despite this, the involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs) in TDE‐mediated tumor progression in PC remains inadequately explored. Methods Ultracentrifugation was used to isolate exosomes derived from AsPC‐1 and

In a real‐world matched cohort study of treatment‐naïve TP53 wild‐type CLL patients, venetoclax plus obinutuzumab demonstrated significantly longer time to next treatment and improved 4‐year overall survival compared to first‐line acalabrutinib. Despite higher rates of cytopenias and infections, the venetoclax‐based regimen showed superior efficacy ...

Serum microRNA-21 as marker for necroinflammation in hepatitis C patients with and without hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Background: MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) is up-regulated in tumor tissue of patients with malignant diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Elevated concentrations of miR-21 have also been found in sera or plasma from patients with malignancies ...

miR-200c sensitizes breast cancer cells to doxorubicin treatment by decreasing TrkB and Bmi1 expression. [PDF]
Acquired resistance to classical chemotherapeutics is a major obstacle in cancer treatment. Doxorubicin is frequently used in breast cancer therapy either as single-agent or in combination with other drugs like docetaxel and cyclophosphamide.
