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

Determination of Oleandrin in Blood and Liver Samples by LC-MS/MS [PDF]
Objective To develop a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analytical method for the determination of oleandrin in blood and liver tissues, which could be applied to the cases of death caused by oleander poisoning.

Biliary parascarosis in a foal
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 ...

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.

Cosmetics and personal care items are used worldwide and administered straight to the skin. The hazardous nature of the chemical surfactant utilized in the production of cosmetics has caused alarm on a global scale. Therefore, bacterial biosurfactants (BS) are becoming increasingly popular in industrial product production as a biocompatible, low‐toxic ...

Stimuli‐responsive crosslinked nanomedicine for cancer treatment
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 ...
