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

Drug discovery is a complex and vital field that continually seeks to identify new therapeutic targets and develop effective treatments. In recent years, a novel approach known as condensate biology has emerged, revolutionising the way researchers think about drug discovery and development.

Cancer immunotherapy: GDF-15’s role in Anti-PD-1 resistance

Drug Target Review

We will explore how GDF-15 impacts the tumour microenvironment and hinders the infiltration of T cells into the tumour, as well as the implications of neutralising GDF-15 to reverse its inhibitory effects and sensitise tumours to anti-PD-1 treatment. T-cell infiltration is a prerequisite for responses to checkpoint inhibitors.

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. Br J Pharmacol. 2012;165(6):1704-16.

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.

Women in STEM: An Inspiring Journey with Dr Jo Brewer

Drug Target Review

It set a precedent with regulators as to what is expected in some instances. Obviously there are lots of issues to work on, but it’s a real modality that is changing people’s lives for the long term and changing the way we think about cancer treatments.
