Nutraceutical Properties of Polyphenols against Liver Diseases
(MDPI, 2020-11-15)
Current food tendencies, suboptimal dietary habits and a sedentary lifestyle are spreading metabolic disorders worldwide. Consequently, the prevalence of liver pathologies is increasing, as it is the main metabolic organ ...
Bioactive Materials for Next-Generation Dentistry
(MDPI, 2022-12-08)
Teeth were some of the first organs whose function was effectively restored by inert refilling materials that have become widely known to the general public; amalgams, polymeric resin composites, and gutta-percha are some ...
What Are the Roles of Proprotein Convertases in the Immune Escape of Tumors?
(MDPI, 2022-12-19)
Protein convertases (PCs) play a significant role in post-translational procedures by transforming inactive precursor proteins into their active forms. The role of PCs is crucial for cellular homeostasis because they are ...
Pirin is a prognostic marker of human melanoma that dampens the proliferation of malignant cells by downregulating JARID1B/KDM5B expression
(Nature, 2023-06)
Originally considered to act as a transcriptional co‑factor, Pirin has recently been reported to play a
role in tumorigenesis and the malignant progression of many tumors. Here, we have analyzed the
diagnostic and ...
The HIF1α/JMY pathway promotes glioblastoma stem-like cell invasiveness after irradiation
(Springer Nature, 2020-10-30)
Human glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor. A minor subpopulation of cancer cells, known as glioma stem-like cells (GSCs), are thought to play a major role in tumor relapse due to their stem ...
Improving the Antitumor Effect of Chemotherapy with Ocoxin as a Novel Adjuvant Agent to Treat Prostate Cancer
(MDPI, 2023-05-29)
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men. Although many patients respond favorably to first-line treatments, castration—and chemotherapy—resistance arises after a few years, leading to metastasis. Thus, ...
The Long-Term Neuroprotective Effect of the Endocannabinoid 2-AG and Modulation of the SGZ’s Neurogenic Response after Neonatal Hypoxia-Ischemia
(MDPI, 2023-06-07)
Neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) often causes hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), a neurological condition that can lead to overall disability in newborns. The only treatment available for affected neonates is therapeutic ...
Enhanced Adipogenic Differentiation of Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells in Enzymatically Decellularized Adipose Tissue Solid Foams
(MDPI, 2022-07-23)
Engineered 3D human adipose tissue models and the development of physiological human 3D in vitro models to test new therapeutic compounds and advance in the study of pathophysiological mechanisms of disease is still ...
Computational and Experimental Evaluation of the Immune Response of Neoantigens for Personalized Vaccine Design
(MDPI, 2023-05-19)
In the last few years, the importance of neoantigens in the development of personalized antitumor vaccines has increased remarkably. In order to study whether bioinformatic tools are effective in detecting neoantigens that ...
Self-assembled three-dimensional hydrogels based on graphene derivatives and cerium oxide nanoparticles: scaffolds for co-culture of oligodendrocytes and neurons derived from neural stem cells
(American Chemical Society, 2023-03)
Stem cell-based therapies have shown promising results for the regeneration of the nervous system. However, the survival and integration of the stem cells in the neural circuitry is suboptimal and might compromise the ...
