The human neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5Y, differentiates into neuron-like cells according to morphological, biochemical and functional criteria when treated with biologically active phorbol-esters. The differentiated phenotype is described and alterations in proto-oncogene expression in connection with growth control and differentiation are presented and discussed.

Ciguatera poisoning (CP) is caused by the consumption of marine products contaminated with ciguatoxins (CTXs) produced by dinoflagellates of the genus . Analytical methods for CTXs, involving the extraction/purification of trace quantities of CTXs from complex matrices, are numerous in the literature. However, little information on their effectiveness for nonpolar CTXs is available, yet these congeners, contributing to the risk of CP, are required for the establishment of effective food safety monitoring programs.

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that non-coding somatic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in cis-regulatory elements (CREs) contribute to cancer by disrupting gene expression networks. However, the role of non-coding SNVs in cancer, particularly neuroblastoma, remains largely unclear.
Methods: SNVs effect on CREs activity was evaluated by luciferase assays.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized as a neurodegenerative disorder that is caused by plaque formation by accumulating β-amyloid (Aβ), leading to neurocognitive function and impaired mental development. Thus, targeting Aβ represents a promising target for the development of therapeutics in AD management. Several functionalized sulfonic acid molecules have been reported, including tramiprosate prodrug, which is currently in clinical trial III and exhibits a good response in mild to moderate AD patients.

Cancer is the leading cause of death from disease in children. Survival depends not only on surgery, cytostatic drugs, and radiation but also on systemic immune responses. Factors influencing these immune responses in children of different ages and tumor types are unknown.

Neuroblastoma (NB) is a rare embryonal neuroendocrine tumor that primarily affects children aged 5 years old or younger. In advanced stages, NB requires a multifaceted treatment approach, including a combination of surgery, chemo, and radiation therapy. However, high-risk NB is still associated with poor prognosis, long-term side effects, and a high chance of relapse.
