Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common and lethal type of primary liver cancer, frequently arising from chronic liver injury and inflammation. Despite treatment advancements, HCC prognosis remains poor, emphasizing the need for effective preventive and therapeutic strategies. This study investigates the hepatoprotective and anti-tumor effects of Hongjam, a steamed freeze-dried silkworm powder, in a diethylnitrosamine (DEN) and thioacetamide (TAA)-induced HCC mouse model.

Recent studies on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tumorigenesis have revealed several dysregulated molecular pathways. The phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway is frequently activated in HNSCC, making it an attractive target for therapies. PHT-427 is a dual inhibitor of PI3K and the mammalian target of AKT/PDK1.

Introduction: We investigated the specific factors driving abnormal angiogenesis in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its role in cerebrovascular lesions and neurodegeneration.

Methods: We assessed cerebrovascular pathologies, amyloid-beta (Aβ), and tau pathologies in post mortem human brains and detected 12 angiogenic factors in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the China Aging and Neurodegenerative Disease Initiative (CANDI) cohort.

Results: We observed severe blood-brain barrier damage and elevated levels of the vascular marker CD31 in human AD brains, which had a stronger correlation with tau pathology than Aβ pathology.

The cascade of events leading to tumor formation includes induction of a tumor supporting neovasculature, as a primary hallmark of cancer. Developing vasculature is difficult to evaluate but can be captured using microfluidic chip technology and patient derived cells. Herein, we established an approach to investigate the mechanisms promoting tumor vascularization and vascular targeted therapies via co-culture of cancer spheroids and endothelial cells in a three dimensional environment.

Angiogenesis inhibition treatments are limited and are often too late for advanced gastric cancer (GC) patients, in whom its efficacy is reduced. New molecular biomarkers are needed to optimize therapy regimens. In regard to this framework, circulating miRNAs, with high sensitivity and specificity, could be useful biomarkers of GC.
