Methods: TM4SF1 expression in HCC samples was evaluated using immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry.
Objective: The objective of this study was to develop liposomes (LP) containing a curcumin (CU) analog CA7 to enhance its pharmacokinetic profile and anti-cervical cancer (CC) effects.
Methods: Single-factor and Box-Behnken experiments were conducted to optimize the formulation of CA7-loaded liposomes (CA7-LP). The in vitro release, stability, biocompatibility, and pharmacokinetic of CA7-LP were evaluated.
This meta-analysis aims to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy and safety of T-DM1 in treating HER2-positive breast cancer, providing insights for clinical practice. We conducted a literature search in PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases up to September 2023, collecting randomized controlled trials and cohort studies on T-DM1 for HER2-positive breast cancer. Out of 316 initially retrieved articles, 12 studies meeting the quality and inclusion criteria were included after a rigorous screening process.

Curcumin (CU) possesses antitumor activity but has poor aqueous solubility, low bioavailability, and weak activity. To address this, nine novel monocarbonyl CU analogues were designed, synthesized, and evaluated in the present study.

Background: The anti-PD-L1 antibody durvalumab has been approved for use in first-line advanced biliary duct cancer (ABC). So far, predictive biomarkers of efficacy are lacking.
Methods: ABC patients who underwent gemcitabine-based chemotherapy with or without durvalumab were retrospectively enrolled, and their baseline clinical pathological indices were retrieved from medical records.
Claudin18.2 has been recently recognized as a potential therapeutic target for gastric/gastroesophageal junction or pancreatic cancer. Here, we develop a Claudin18.

Ubiquitination modification is a mechanism that adds different types of ubiquitin chains to proteins, mediating protein degradation or altering their function, thereby affecting cellular signal transduction. Increasing evidence suggests that ubiquitination modification plays a crucial role in regulating the mechanisms of resistance to cancer immunotherapy.

Background: As synthesis technology advances, novel and efficient derivatives of tetracyclines are found. Three new antibiotics were approved within the past 18 years, and represent a new era in the use of tetracyclines. To gain further insight into adverse events linked to tetracyclines and better protect pediatric patients, ongoing monitoring of safety data is crucial.

Methods: BAL-PTX-LN was optimized through central composite design based on a single-factor experiments. BAL-PTX-LN was evaluated by TEM, particle size, encapsulation efficiency, hemolysis rate, release kinetics and stability.
Innate immune responses to microbial pathogens are regulated by intracellular receptors known as nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) in both the plant and animal kingdoms. Across plant innate immune systems, "helper" NLRs (hNLRs) work in coordination with "sensor" NLRs (sNLRs) to modulate disease resistance signaling pathways. Activation mechanisms of hNLRs based on structures are unknown.

However, traditional electrical and optical strain sensors make access to structural health information challenging because data conversion is required, and they have intricate, delicate designs. Drawing inspiration from the moisture-responsive coloration of beetle wing sheaths, we propose using Ecoflex as a flexible substrate.

SO derivatives play an important role in many metabolic processes, excessive ingestion of them can lead to serious complications of various diseases. In this work, a novel dual ratiometric NIR fluorescent probe XT-CHO based on ICT effect was synthesized for detecting SO derivative. In the design of the probe, the α, β-unsaturated bond formed between benzopyran and coumarin was used as the reaction site for SO, meanwhile, the extended π-conjugate system promoted maximum emission wavelength of the probe up to 708 nm.
