Metabolomic Profiling in Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review

Lung cancer continues to be a significant burden worldwide and remains the leading cause of cancer-associated mortality. Two considerable challenges posed by this disease are the diagnosis of 61% of patients in advanced stages and the reduced five-year survival rate of around 4%. Noninvasively collected samples are gaining significant interest as new areas of knowledge are being sought and opened up. Metabolomi...

Cold Atmospheric Plasma, a Novel Approach against Bladder Cancer, with Higher S...

Antitumor therapies based on Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) are an emerging medical field. In this work, we evaluated CAP effects on bladder cancer. Two bladder cancer cell lines were used, HT-1376 (stage III) and TCCSUP (stage IV). Cell proliferation assays were performed evaluating metabolic activity (MTT assay) and protein content (SRB assay). Cell viability, cell cycle, and mitochondrial membrane potential (...

Surface-PASylation of ferritin to form stealth nanovehicles enhances in vivo th...

Surface functionalisations substantially influence the performance of drug delivery vehicles by improving their biocompatibility, selectivity and circulation in bloodstream. Herein, we present the study of in vitro and in vivo behaviour of a highly potent cytostatic alkaloid ellipticine (Elli) encapsulated in internal cavity of ferritin (FRT)-based nanocarrier (hereinafter referred to as FRTElli). In addition, ...

Ascorbic Acid Chemosensitizes Colorectal Cancer Cells and Synergistically Inhib...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is continuously classified as one of the most incidental and mortal types of cancer worldwide. The positive outcomes of the conventional chemotherapy are frequently associated with high toxicity, which often leads to the suspension of the treatment. Growing evidences consider the use of pharmacological concentrations of ascorbic acid (AA), better known as vitamin C, in the treatment of c...

Doping β-TCP as a Strategy for Enhancing the Regenerative Potential of Composit...

The present work aims at evaluating the potential gains derived from partially replacing calcium in resorbable β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) by two different molar percentages of strontium (5, 10) and zinc (1, 2), concomitantly with a fixed molar percentage (0.5) of manganese. Synthetic granular composite bone filling grafts consisting of doped β-TCP and an alkali-free bioactive glass were prepared and implant...
