Dihydropyrazines (DHPs), which exhibit DNA strand-breaking activity and other biological activities associated with the generation of radical species, reacted with thiourea to give tetraazaindene (TAI) derivatives, despite thiourea is a well known radical scavenger. The structural determination of the TAIs was carried out and formation mechanism of TAI was investigated.

Core for Medicine and Science Collaborative Research and Education, Forefront Research Center, Osaka University Graduate School of Science, 1-1 Toyonaka, Osaka 560-0043, Japan.

This study confirmed the effect of sodium/iodine symporter (NIS) expression on existing drugs by in vitro and in vivo tests using cultured cell lines. The tumor growth inhibitory effect of sodium astatide ([At]NaAt) was evaluated by in vitro and in vivo tests using human thyroid cancer cells (K1, K1/NIS and K1/NIS-DOX). NIS expression in cancer cells was controlled using the Tet-On system.

Genome Protection by DNA Polymerase θ.

Annu Rev Genet

November 2022

Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, University of Vermont, Burlington, Vermont, USA; email:

DNA polymerase θ (Pol θ) is a DNA repair enzyme widely conserved in animals and plants. Pol θ uses short DNA sequence homologies to initiate repair of double-strand breaks by theta-mediated end joining. The DNA polymerase domain of Pol θ is at the C terminus and is connected to an N-terminal DNA helicase-like domain by a central linker.

Biotechnics Department, Szent Istvan University, H-2040 Budaors, Hungary.

(1) Background: Hyperthermia in oncology conventionally seeks the homogeneous heating of the tumor mass. The expected isothermal condition is the basis of the dose calculation in clinical practice. My objective is to study and apply a heterogenic temperature pattern during the heating process and show how it supports radiotherapy.

An immune-related signature that to improve prognosis prediction of breast cancer.

April 2021

Department of Breast Surgery, National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College Beijing 100021, China.

Although the classic molecular subtype of breast cancer (BRCA) has been widely used in clinical diagnosis, as a highly heterogeneous malignant tumor, the classic scheme is not enough to accurately predict the prognosis of breast cancer patients. Immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are thought to play a paramount role in tumor development and driving poor prognosis. In this study, we aimed to develop a TME-associated, immune-related signature to improve prognosis prediction of BRCA.
