The ROS-KRAS-Nrf2 axis in the control of the redox homeostasis and the intersection with survival-apoptosis pathways: Implications for photodynamic therapy
Publication date: Available online 28 October 2019Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: BiologyAuthor(s): Annalisa Ferino, Valentina Rapozzi, Luigi E. XodoAbstractIn highly proliferating cancer cells oncogenic mutations reprogram the metabolism and increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Cancer cells prevent ROS accumulation by upregulating antioxidant systems. Here we show that an increase of oxidative stress (ROS and singlet oxygen), generated by photoactivated...

Tumor-specific design of PEGylated gadolinium-based nanoscale particles: Facile synthesis, characterization, and improved magnetic resonance imaging of metastasis lung cancer
In this report, using the solvothermal decomposition of Gadolinium (III) in the presence of Na3cit, monitored by surface modification with PEG and L-Cys. The synthesized nanoparticles were confirmed by the TEM, DLS and UV–Visible spectroscopy. The morphological results show normal distance across of the flawless Gd2O3-PEG-Cys-NPs show 7.9 ± 0.4 nm, discretely, with a thin size exchange. This infers the surface adjustment does not obviously alteration the center size of the Gd2O3-NPs when contrasted...

A Systematically Conducted Scoping Review of the Evidence and Fidelity of Treatments for Verb Deficits in Aphasia: Verb-in-Isolation Treatments.
Conclusions The evidence for verb treatments is predominantly of a low level. There are encouraging findings in terms of treatments being replicable; however, this is tempered by poor monitoring of treatment fidelity. The quality of verb treatment research would be improved by researchers reaching consensus regarding outcome measures (including generalization to, e.g., sentences and discourse) by manualizing treatment to facilitate implementation and exploring the opinions of participants. Finally,...

Publication date: Available online 28 October 2019Source: Journal of Theoretical BiologyAuthor(s): Alberto Giaretta, Gianna Maria Toffolo, Timothy C. ElstonAbstractHigh risk forms of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) promote cancerous lesions and are implicated in almost all cervical cancer. Of particular relevance to cancer progression is regulation of the early promoter that controls gene expression in the initial phases of infection and can eventually lead to pre-cancer progression.

Morphological quantification of proliferation-to-invasion transition in tumor spheroids
ConclusionsOur quantitative approach provides a feasible clarification for the proliferation-to-invasion transition of in vitro tumor models (spheroids). Moreover, the transition time is a useful reference for the invasive potential of tumor cells.General significanceThis quantitative approach is potentially applicable to primary tumor cells, and thus has potential applications in the fields of cancer metastasis investigations and clinical diagnostics.
