MicroRNA?577/EIF5A2 axis suppressed the proliferation of DDP?resistant nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells by blocking TGF?? signaling pathway

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Effects of circ_0002375 on cisplatin-resistant NPC cells: After cisplatin treatment, circ_0002375 knockdown was transfected into cisplatin-resistant SUNE1/5-8F cells, which led to the inhibition of cisplatin resistance via down-regulating EIF5A2 that mediated by up-regulated miR-577.

Condensate biology: advancing drug discovery for complex diseases

Drug Target Review

The aim is to establish condensate biology as a fundamental branch of cell biology – “cell biology 2.0” The underlying biology and processes upon which the company was founded have broad applicability across various human disease areas. Klein notes the importance of Dewpoint’s disease-agnostic approach.

Women in Stem with Ashley Hall

Drug Target Review

When I was studying cell biology, looking at how cells divide, I couldn’t fathom how math could possibly fit into that. My undergraduate studies focused on biochemistry and cell biology, so very much STEM-based, but my professors and mentors noticed my penchant for critical thinking which led me to consider law.

Cancer metastasis: breakthrough in therapeutic strategies

Drug Target Review

Metastasis is the most lethal attribute of cancer cells and clinical decisions regarding treatment are based largely upon the likelihood of developing metastases. 1 The research, supported by the National Institutes of Health, centres on a cellular chaperone protein called GRP78, responsible for regulating protein folding within cells.

The promise of 3A5C7 mAb in the treatment of morphine tolerance

Drug Target Review

This kind of regulation in AC activity is a kind of cellular adaptation in to the activation of opioid receptors and contributes to the development of opioid tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal 5. To facilitate MOR to transform to such a conformation is one of the strategies to induce MOR endocytosis.
