β-D-Glucose-Reduced Silver Nanoparticles Remodel the Tumor Microenvironment in a Murine Model of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

Breast cancer is the most diagnosed type of cancer worldwide and the second cause of death in women. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive, and due to the lack of specific targets, it is considered the most challenging subtype to treat and the subtype with the worst prognosis. The present study aims to determine the antitumor effect of beta-D-glucose-reduced silver nanoparticles (AgNPs-G) in a murine model of TNBC, as well as to study its effect on the tumor microenvironment.

Exosomes isolated from IMMUNEPOTENT CRP, a hemoderivative, to accelerate diabetic wound healing.

The increasing risk of amputation due to diabetic foot ulcer calls for new therapeutic options; for that, we determined the role of IMMUNEPOTENT CRP (ICRP) and its parts in the wound healing process of superficial wounds in diabetic BALB/c mice. A potency test was performed to confirm the batch of ICRP, and then its parts were separated into pellets, supernatants, and exosomes, and another group of exosomes loaded with insulin was added. Viability and scratch healing were assessed in NIH-3T3, HUVEC, and HACAT cell lines.

Antibacterial efficacy of novel bismuth-silver nanoparticles synthesis on and infection models.

Introduction: The emergence of multi-drug-resistant bacteria is one of the main concerns in the health sector worldwide. The conventional strategies for treatment and prophylaxis against microbial infections include the use of antibiotics. However, these drugs are failing due to the increasing antimicrobial resistance.

Antitumor efficacy of silver nanoparticles reduced with β-D-glucose as neoadjuvant therapy to prevent tumor relapse in a mouse model of breast cancer.

Neoadjuvant therapy constitutes a valuable modality for diminishing tumor volume prior to surgical resection. Nonetheless, its application encounters limitations in the context of recurrent tumors, which manifest resistance to conventional treatments. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have emerged as a promising alternative for cancer treatment owing to their cytotoxic effects.

Human TIMP1 Is a Growth Factor That Improves Oocyte Developmental Competence.

Oocyte developmental competence is the ability of a mature oocyte to be fertilized and subsequently support embryonic development. Such competence is gained during folliculogenesis and is facilitated by the bidirectional communication into a compacted cumulus-oocyte complex (COC). Human tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP1) participates in biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis.
