Role of Circular RNA MMP9 in Glioblastoma Progression: From Interaction With hnRNPC and hnRNPA1 to Affecting the Expression of BIRC5 by Sequestering miR-149.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) presents a significant challenge in neuro-oncology due to its aggressive behavior and self-renewal capacity. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a subset of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) generated through mRNA back-splicing, are gaining attention as potential targets for GBM research. In our study, we sought to explore the functional role of circMMP9 (circular form of matrix metalloproteinase-9) as a promising therapeutic target for GBM through bioinformatic predictions and human data analysis.

Characteristics and Cytotoxic Effects of Nano-Liposomal Paclitaxel on Gastric Cancer Cells.

Objective: Addressing both the initial treatment response and subsequent paclitaxel resistance is a pivotal concern. Nano drug delivery, an emerging approach, presents a cutting-edge alternative to conventional chemotherapy.

Methods: This investigation synthesized PEGylated nanoparticles (NPs) via the Reverse Phase Evaporation technique for liposomal NPs.
