An evaluation of the efficacy of adenovirus-mediated gene therapy with p53 for the treatment of cancer [PDF]
Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality in the United States today, and equally prevalent throughout the world. Traditional treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy have thus far proven unable to treat the disease with high efficacy, with

Single-cycle viral gene expression, rather than progressive replication and oncolysis, is required for VSV therapy of B16 melanoma [PDF]
A fully intact immune system would be expected to hinder the efficacy of oncolytic virotherapy by inhibiting viral replication. Simultaneously, however, it may also enhance antitumor therapy through initiation of proinflammatory, antiviral cytokine ...

Current strategies in engaging oncolytic viruses with antitumor immunity
Oncolytic virotherapy has produced promising yet limited results in preclinical and clinical studies. Besides direct oncolytic activity, a significant therapeutic mechanism of oncolytic virotherapy is the induction of tumor-specific immunity ...

Oncolytic Virotherapy as Emerging Immunotherapeutic Modality: Potential of Parvovirus H-1 [PDF]
Human tumors develop multiple strategies to evade recognition and efficient suppression by the immune system. Therefore, a variety of immunotherapeutic strategies have been developed to reactivate and reorganize the human immune system.

The Use of Gut Organoids: To Study the Physiology and Disease of the Gut Microbiota
ABSTRACT The intestinal flora has attracted much attention in recent years. An imbalance in the intestinal flora can cause not only intestinal diseases but also cause a variety of parenteral diseases, such as endocrine diseases, nervous system diseases and cardiovascular diseases.

Oncolytic viruses encoding bispecific T cell engagers: a blueprint for emerging immunovirotherapies
Bispecific T cell engagers (BiTEs) are an innovative class of immunotherapeutics that redirect T cells to tumor surface antigens. While efficacious against certain hematological malignancies, limited bioavailability and severe toxicities have so far ...

Oncolytic Adenovirus-Induced Autophagy: Tumor-Suppressive Effect and Molecular Basis [PDF]
Autophagy is a catabolic process that produces energy through lysosomal degradation of intracellular organelles. Autophagy functions as a cytoprotective factor under physiological conditions such as nutrient deprivation, hypoxia, and interruption of ...

ABSTRACT Decorin (DCN) is a small extracellular proteoglycan with significant oncosuppressive activity. Lung adenocarcinoma is commonly devoid of DCN expression and is a leading cause of cancer mortality globally. As a proof‐of‐concept study for evaluating the oncosuppressive potential of DCN expression in lung adenocarcinoma cells, we constructed an ...
