Cytotoxicity of Oleandrin Is Mediated by Calcium Influx and by Increased Manganese Uptake in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cells

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Oleandrin, the main component of Nerium oleander L. extracts, is a cardiotoxic glycoside with multiple pharmacological implications, having potential anti-tumoral and antiviral characteristics. Although it is accepted that the main mechanism of oleandrin

Cardiac Glycoside Oleandrin Suppresses EMT Ability in Endometrial Carcinoma Cells. [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Mol Cell Med, 2023
Endometrial carcinoma is one of the most common types of cancer among women. The progression of cancer occurs via the Epithelial- Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) pathway. Cells lose their epithelial properties and become mobile. For this reason, the EMT process is one of the most important step to be targeted in cancer treatment.

Biliary parascarosis in a foal

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 1149-1153, May 2023., 2023
Here we report finding of an adult male Parascaris nematode in the junction of the lobar duct and left hepatic duct during necropsy of a 6‐month‐old female foal who died because of oleander (Nerium oleander) intoxication. Abstract Migration of Ascaris lumbricoides through the papilla of Vater in humans, and entry into the biliary tree, is well ...

Antioxidant availability trades off with warning signals and toxin sequestration in the large milkweed bug (Oncopeltus fasciatus)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
We raised milkweed bugs on artificial diets with increasing quantities of cardenolides and then examined how this affected oxidative state and signal quality (brightness and chroma) across different life stages. Glutathione decreased in all individuals with increasing levels of sequestered cardenolides.

Stimuli‐responsive crosslinked nanomedicine for cancer treatment

open access: yesExploration, Volume 2, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022
We classify the stimuli‐responsive crosslinked nanomedicines (SCNs) into three categories based on the crosslinking strategies, including built‐in, on‐surface, and inter‐particle crosslinking nanomedicines. These SCNs can respond to particular tumoral stimuli and go through a series of dynamic changes to circumvent different biological barriers, and ...
