The role of heterodimerization between VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 in the regulation of endothelial cell homeostasis [PDF]
VEGF-A activity is tightly regulated by ligand and receptor availability. Here we investigate the physiological function of heterodimers between VEGF receptor-1 (VEGFR-1; Flt-1) and VEGFR-2 (KDR; Flk-1) (VEGFR(1-2)) in endothelial cells with a synthetic ...

Abstract Aim Mebendazole (MBZ), a benzimidazole anthelmintic with established clinical use, has emerged as a repurposing candidate for primary brain tumours due to its multimodal anticancer actions and central nervous system penetrance. This systematic review synthesizes preclinical and clinical evidence evaluating MBZ's efficacy, mechanisms of action ...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms: rs833061, rs699947, and rs35569394, and the expression of the vascular endothelial growth factor gene in Moroccan patients with lung cancer [PDF]
Aim: Angiogenesis is a universal hallmark of all cancers involving a variety of proteins including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Extensive studies have explored the potential implications of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within VEGF-

Activation of VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 by UVA involves activation of PKC and SFK.
(a) Western blotting detection of P-VEGFR-1 and P-VEGFR-2 in keratinocytes 12 h after treatment of 10 J/cm2 UVA with or without pre-incubation of Go6976 (0.5 µM), or rottlerin (5.0 µM) for 1 h. (b) The densitometric analysis of P-VEGFR-1 and P-VEGFR-2 in

AKT, ATR, and Notch Inhibitors Radiosensitize a Preclinical Model of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
ABSTRACT Background Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and lethal type of head and neck cancer. Standard therapy involves surgery followed by radiation therapy. The majority of ACC has MYB overexpression and MYB‐NFIB gene fusions, while Notch mutations are associated with aggressive behavior.
