Cytogenetic analysis of human myeloma cell lines L363, Karpas 707, RPMI 8226 and U-266 has been performed. Chromosome numbers retained near-diploid (L363, Karpas 707 and U-266) or increased to hypotriploid (RPMI 8226) during many years of maintenance of the cell lines in vitro. Based on G-banding analysis, the complex karyotypes with abnormalities of virtually all chromosome pairs were found in these cell lines but common chromosome translocations were not observed. In addition, chromosome loci involved in structural rearrangements in these cell lines often overlapped with loci of DNA copy number imbalances revealed in myeloma cells in vivo. Besides, distinct types of karyotypic structure of cell populations were found in all of these cell lines which differed by combination of cells with main and additional structural variants of karyotype and cells with non-clonal chromosome aberrations. Taken together, it seems obvious that karyotypic variability of human myeloma cell lines corresponds to karyotypic progression of myeloma in vivo and, hence, has tumor specific pattern.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the viability of a hypothesis for selective targeting of skin cancer cells by exploiting the spectral gap with healthy cells using analytical and numerical simulation.
Methods: The spectral gap was first identified using a viscoelastic dynamic model, with the physical and mechanical properties of healthy and cancerous skin cells deduced from previous experimental studies conducted on cell lines. The outcome of the analytical simulation was verified numerically using modal and harmonic analysis.

Aim: To describe tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment patterns and analyze co-variates of TKI switch for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients in a center from China.
Methods: A retrospectively study was designed to analyze TKI switching patterns, reasons and associated covariates in patients with CP-CML.
Results: 1766 patients receiving initial imatinib (n = 1374), nilotinib (n = 254), dasatinib (n = 63) and flumatinib (n = 75) therapy were retrospectively interrogated.

Targeting DNA repair mechanisms, particularly PARP-1 inhibition, has emerged as a promising strategy for developing anticancer therapies. we designed and synthesized two 2-thiazolecarboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone palladium(II) complexes (C1 and C2), and evaluated their anti-cancer activities. These Pd(II) complexes exhibited potent PARP-1 enzyme inhibition and demonstrated considerable antiproliferative activity against various cancer cell lines.

Phenolic acid-rich fraction from Anisopus mannii (PhAM) contains abundance of ferulic acid, gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, and syringic acid. Among other glycolytic enzymes, in vitro, PhAM counteracted the binding of sodium orthovanadate to phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK-1), improving its activities. In a rat model of diet-induced diabetes, PhAM monotherapy reduced HbA1c by an average of 0.
