Essential oil extracted from erythrina corallodendron L. leaves inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of breast cancer cells.

Erythrina corallodendron L., a kind of landscape tree, has long been used as a traditional medicine. In this study, the composition of essential oil extracted from the leaves was analysed by GC-MS (gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer), with linalool identified as the main compound.

EDB Fibronectin-Specific SPECT Probe Tc-HYNIC-ZD2 for Breast Cancer Detection.

Extradomain-B fibronectin (EDB-FN), an oncofetal isoform of FN, is a promising diagnostic and therapeutic target of tumors, including breast cancer. Many EDB-FN-targeted drugs have been developed and have shown therapeutic effects in clinical trials. Molecular imaging to visualize EDB-FN-positive cancers may help select the right patients who will be benefit from EDB-FN-targeted therapy.

SPECT and near-infrared fluorescence imaging of breast cancer with a neuropilin-1-targeting peptide.

Breast cancer is the most common malignant cancer and is the leading cause of cancer death among females. Molecular imaging is a promising approach for the early detection and staging of breast cancer as well as for assessing therapeutic responses. Tumor-targeting peptides are effective targeting vehicles for molecular imaging.
