Gain of Function (GOF) Mutant p53 in Cancer-Current Therapeutic Approaches.

Continuous development of personalized treatments is undoubtedly beneficial for oncogenic patients' comfort and survival rate. Mutant is associated with a worse prognosis due to the occurrence of metastases, increased chemoresistance, and tumor growth. Currently, numerous compounds capable of p53 reactivation or the destabilization of mutant p53 are being investigated.

Content of Health-Promoting Fatty Acids in Commercial Sheep, Cow and Goat Cheeses.

The study aimed to examine samples of different market original sheep cow and goat cheeses, in respect of the content and profile of FA with special emphasis on health-promoting FA. The content of fatty acids in the examined cheeses was highly differentiated and depended on the sort and type of cheese. The content of fatty acid groups in milk fat varied within the limits: SFA, 55.

Ester derivatives of salinomycin efficiently eliminate breast cancer cells via ER-stress-induced apoptosis.

The polyether ionophore salinomycin (SAL) has been found to selectively target breast cancer cells, including those with stem-like phenotype. On the other hand, SAL amides and esters obtained through derivatisation of the C1 carboxyl of the ionophore were found to exhibit anticancer properties, whilst reducing potential toxicity issues which often occur during standard chemotherapy. However, the studies on the activity and especially on the mechanisms of action of this class of semi-synthetic products against breast cancer cells are very limited.

Simultaneous Inhibition of BCR-ABL1 Tyrosine Kinase and PAK1/2 Serine/Threonine Kinase Exerts Synergistic Effect against Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP). However, it is unlikely that they can completely "cure" the disease. This might be because some subpopulations of CML-CP cells such as stem and progenitor cells are resistant to chemotherapy, even to the new generation of TKIs.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia, a still unsolved problem: pitfalls and new therapeutic possibilities.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative disorder of hematopoietic stem cells. At the molecular level, the disorder results from t(9;22)(q34;q11) reciprocal translocation between chromosomes, which leads to the formation of an oncogenic gene fusion. Instead of progress in the understanding of the molecular etiology of CML and the development of novel therapeutic strategies, clinicians still face many challenges in the effective treatment of patients.
