A variety of samples consisting of purified compounds (of various origins) and ethanol extracts from plants were assayed for their activity on the growth and initiation of crown-gall tumors on potato disks. The results demonstrated a high correlation between the ability of these compounds to inhibit the initiation and growth of crown-gall tumors on potato disks and their corresponding activity on the mouse P388 leukemia protocol. Of the 21 compounds tested to date, there were two false-positives and one false-negative.

Background: To date, there is no effective cure for the highly malignant brain tumor glioblastoma (GBM). GBM is the most common, aggressive central nervous system tumor (CNS). It commonly originates in glial cells such as microglia, oligodendroglia, astrocytes, or subpopulations of cancer stem cells (CSCs).

To enhance the treatment of tumors that are resistant to radio- and chemotherapy while minimizing the side effects of radiochemotherapy, researchers are continuously seeking new active compounds for use in combination with radiotherapy. Therefore, the aim of our study was to examine the cytotoxic and radiosensitizing effects of an extract from St. John's Wort (, referred to as HP01, on human epithelial tumor cells in vitro.

Crown gall disease in plants is caused by "Agrobacteria", bacteria belonging to the family, which carry a tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid. Unexpectedly, we found evidence that a natural isolate from a rose crown gall, called NBC51/LBA8980, was a bacterium that did not belong to the family. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that this bacterium contained three large DNA circles with rRNA and tRNA genes, representing one chromosome and two chromids, respectively, and two megaplasmids, including a Ti plasmid.

Background: Regeneration is the preferred approach to restore the structure and function after tissue damage. Rapid proliferation of cells over the site of damage is integral to the process of regeneration. However, even subtle mutations in proliferating cells may cause detrimental effects by eliciting abnormal differentiation.

Tumor vaccines that activate the autologous immune system to eliminate tumor cells represent a promising approach in cancer immunotherapy. However, challenges such as tumor heterogeneity, limited antigen selection, insufficient antigen presentation, and the slow onset of de novo immune responses have resulted in poor universality and suboptimal response rates. In contrast, pathogen-specific pre-existing immunity acquired through infection or vaccination, can rapidly generate a more potent and enduring immune response upon re-encounter with the same antigen.
