Snail knockdown reverses stemness and inhibits tumour growth in ovarian cancer
Scientific Reports, 2018 To develop effective therapies for advanced high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), understanding mechanisms of recurrence and metastasis is necessary. In this study, we define the epithelial/mesenchymal status of cell lines that accurately model HGSOC,

Robotic Environmental Monitoring Using Gelatin Hydrogels as a Biodegradable Adhesive
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Gelatin‐based hydrogels are presented as a robust, biodegradable, and water‐soluble method of adhesion for robotic environmental monitoring. Factors affecting the adhesion strength are characterized, and the hydrogel is tested on different materials with varying surface roughness.

Downregulation of miR‐491‐5p promotes gastric cancer metastasis by regulating SNAIL and FGFR4
Cancer Science, 2018 Gastric cancer (GC) is among the most fatal cancers in China. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are versatile regulators during GC development and progression. miR‐491‐5p has been demonstrated to act as a tumor suppressor in several types of cancer.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This review explores invertebrate biohybrid robots that integrate living organisms—such as insects, jellyfish, spiders, and sea slugs—into robotic systems for locomotion, sensing, and actuation. The advantages in efficiency and cost, discuss control, and power challenges are highlighted, and future considerations to guide the development of sustainable,

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.Vitamin D, traditionally known to promote calcium and bone health, is being explored for its role in cancer prevention and treatment through its influence on cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and immune response. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) regulates gene expression and interacts with key signaling pathways such as Wnt/β‐catenin, MAPK ...
