Cellular and molecular mediators of bone metastatic lesions [PDF]
Bone is the preferential site of metastasis for breast and prostate tumor. Cancer cells establish a tight relationship with the host tissue, secreting factors that stimulate or inhibit bone cells, receiving signals generated from the bone remodeling ...

Selenium (Se) is a crucial element in selenoproteins, key biomolecules for physiological function in vivo. Central nervous system can express all 25 kinds of selenoproteins, which protect neurons by reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory response. Neuroprotection is being investigated through the biological study of Se.

Oligodendrogenesis in Evolution, Development and Adulthood
Oligodendrocytes and myelin took shape in jawed vertebrates. During development, OPCs are originated from NSCs and then undergo differentiation into mature oligodendrocytes that supply myelin. OPCs persist in the adult CNS and continue to produce oligodendrocytes and myelin. Adaptive myelination, which fine‐tunes neural circuits in response to neuronal

Research progress of neurovascular units involved in ischemic stroke
The brain receives less blood when an ischemic stroke develops, which damages neurons and leads to an increased release of Pro‐inflammatory mediators that activate neurovascular unit (NVU). When the tight junctions are broken and the basement membrane is disrupted by matrix metalloproteinases produced by active endothelial and pericellular cells ...

Diffuse Melanosis Cutis Under Immuno‐ and Targeted Therapy
ABSTRACT In patients with highly advanced melanoma, rarely a diffuse melanosis cutis (DMC) can be noticed. Even though the condition is generally harmless itself, it can have a significant impact on the patient's well‐being as an obvious mark of the disease. DMC causes a grey or brown discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes. We report on a young

The role of endothelin in stroke: Experimental data and underlying pathophysiology
The role of endothelin in functional and structural changes after stroke is only partly understood: synthesis and release of the potent vasoconstrictor peptide endothelin-1 increases following ischemia and mediates the delayed hypoperfusion associated ...

(Poly)phenols constitute a source of natural therapeutic molecules capable of targeting angiogenesis in different scenarios. This review summarizes the current evidence of the role of (poly)phenols in modulating angiogenesis. The reader can find a compilation of preclinical and human investigations describing pro‐ and anti‐angiogenic effects of these ...
