Previous results in Hamsters showed enhancement of tumor takes in animals exposed to acoustic aggression. Since this phenomenon could be due to immunodepression, we investigated whether this was the case in a better defined system of inbred BALB/c Mice. The results show that in these conditions, the tumor graft could not transgress a minor histocompatibility antigen nor decrease the protective effects of polyoma virus against tumor challenge and that all the immune tests investigated were unaltered.

Adjuvants are crucial for maintaining specific, protective, and long-lasting immunity. Here, we aimed to evaluate the antigenic and immunogenic activity of a recombinant form of the S1 domain of the Spike protein, associated with biogenic silver nanoparticles (bio-AgNP) and Alhydrogel as an alternative and conventional adjuvant, respectively, for a SARS-CoV-2 subunit vaccine. We produced and evaluated the antigenicity of the recombinant S1 (rS1) protein by testing its recognition by antibodies present in SARS-CoV-2 positive human serum.

Asthma, a widespread chronic inflammatory disease can contribute to different degrees of lung function damage. The objective of this study is to explore the potential effects of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors in asthma using mice model induced by ovalbumin (OVA). BALB/c mice were treated with OVA to establish an asthma model.

Purpose: Growing evidence suggests that the tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 is pivotal for tumor progression. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most lethal subtype of breast cancer, characterized by its high recurrence rate, aggressive metastasis, and resistance to chemotherapy. Understanding the mechanisms of tumorigenesis and the underlying molecular pathways in TNBC could aid in identifying new therapeutic targets.

Purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Oxaliplatin (OXA) is currently the primary chemotherapeutic agent for CRC, but its efficacy is limited by the tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we present a combined approach of chemotherapy and TME modulation for CRC treatment.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly malignant and aggressive gastrointestinal tumor. Due to its weak immunogenicity and limited immune, cell infiltration lead to ineffective clinical outcomes. Therefore, to improve the current prophylaxis and treatment scheme, offering a favorable strategy efficient against CRC is urgently needed.
