The redistribution of actinomycin from hairpin oligonucleotide HP1 to dissolved DNA and DNA inside the cell has been discovered and investigated. It was found that the penetration of the antibiotic in a complex with HP1 into cancer cells takes place more effectively than that of the antibiotic separately. It is suggested that hairpin oligonucleotides can serve as molecular carriers of heterocyclic antibiotics to cancer cells.

Background: Thyroid Hormones (THs) critically impact human cancer. Although endowed with both tumor-promoting and inhibiting effects in different cancer types, excess of THs has been linked to enhanced tumor growth and progression. Breast cancer depends on the interaction between bulk tumor cells and the surrounding microenvironment in which mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exert powerful pro-tumorigenic activities.

Background: Over the past five years, the pregnancy rate in assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs in Russia has remained relatively stable. The aim of this study was to assess the distribution of monocyte and macrophage subsets in the blood and follicular fluid of infertile women undergoing assisted reproductive technology.
Methods: The study involved 45 women with a mean age of 35 ± 4.

Background: Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are instrumental in treatment resistance, recurrence, and metastasis. The development of breast cancer and radiation sensitivity is intimately pertinent to long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). This work is formulated to investigate how the lncRNA affects the stemness and radioresistance of BCSCs.

Endometrial Cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecological malignancies, ranking first in developed countries and regions. The occurrence and development of EC is closely associated with genetic mutations. mutation, in particular, can lead to the dysfunction of numerous regulatory factors and alteration of the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Sulfatides or 3-O-sulfogalactosylceramide are negatively charged sulfated glycosphingolipids abundant in the brain and kidneys and play crucial roles in nerve impulse conduction and urinary pH regulation. Sulfatides are present in the liver, specifically in the biliary tract. Sulfatides are self-lipid antigens presented by cholangiocytes to activate cluster of differentiation 1d (CD1d)-restricted type II natural killer T (NKT) cells.
