Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRADIOSENSITIZATION OF CANCER STEM CELLS: TARGETING TGFβ, NOTCH OR TELOMERASE TO IMPROVE TUMOR RESPONSE O RADIOTHERAPYIgnacio Fernandez-GarciaRadiation resistant cancer stem cells are the main reason for treatment failure and tumor recurrence after cancer radiotherapy. Increasing biological evidences demonstrate that these cells possess the capacity to repair radiation induced DNA damage, protect themselves from radiation derived reactive oxygen species, survive and proliferate after several fractions of radiotherapy and finally, repopulate the heterogeneity of the tumor. Thus, targeting … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 16 Jul 2014 · 7,459 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEpigenetic Mechanisms in Hepatitis C Virus-Associated Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Potential New Link Between Stem Cells, Virology and CancerQinghua Feng, Sajida Hassan, Trina Das et al.Recent studies suggest that epigenetic mechanisms are not only essential for the dynamic transcriptional regulation in embryonic and somatic stem cells, but are also actively involved in tumorigenesis: genes important for pluripotency are epigenetically regulated and aberrant epigenetic changes have been detected in virtually all human malignancies studied, including Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Infection with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2013 · 8,038 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleQuantum Stem Cell in the Infinity Loop: A New Concept for Our Understanding of the Normal State and CancerKambiz AfrasiabiProblem statement: The scientific community is in need of more rigorous understanding of the mechanism of initiation of mitosis. The complete understanding of the initiation sequence may allow knowledge of the normal and disease states, including cancer. This understanding and knowledge would open the way for developing curative treatment of cancer. This article proposes a mechanism of initiation of mitosis … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 17 Mar 2010 · 8,964 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Role of Treg Cells in the Cancer Immunological ResponseZhi-Zhang Yang, Stephen M. AnsellProblem statement: T cell-mediated immunosuppression has been observed for decades without clarification as to which factor was responsible for this observation. The identification of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells represents a milestone in the filed of immunology and provides an explanation for T-cell-mediated immunosuppression. Although Treg cells were originally identified for their ability to prevent organ-specific autoimmune disease in mice, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,518 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMutations in Tumor suppressor TP53 Gene in Formalin- Fixed, Paraffin Embedded Tissues of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) of Lung CancerAbbas Mohammadi, Ali Vaziri Gohar, Mohamad Reza ShakibaieThe TP53 gene mutations have been extensively studied in lung cancer and have been used as a means to understand the origin(s) and mechanisms of these mutations in lung cancer development. TP53 gene mutations occur frequently in many human cancers. Analysis of TP53 gene mutations can also provide clues to the etiology of tumor formation. Formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,000 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnti-Inflammatory Properties of Crude Extracts and Anti-Cancer Properties of Acetone Extract of Moringa Oleifera Lam. Flowers on Cell Line ModelsSandisiwe Maposa, Gloria Aderonke Otunola, Anthony Jide AfolayanIn recent times, Moringa oleifera has earned great interest for its various physiological and therapeutic benefits. Acetone, ethanol, methanol, and aqueous extracts of Moringa oleifera flowers were investigated for anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer potential. Anti-inflammatory capacity was evaluated using the inhibition of nitric oxide production (LPS-induced) on RAW 264.7, and cell viability was appraised with the MTT assay. The potential of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2026 · 1,464 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleClassification of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Based on Gene Expression in Cases of Smokers and Non-Smokers using Ensemble Methods with Statistical Based Feature SelectionFhira Nhita, Isman KurniawanLung cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally. One of the main risk factors for lung can ceris smoking, which causes more than 90% of lung cancer cases. There are two types of lung cancer, i.e., Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), which the latter is the most common. One method that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 18, Issue 10 · 30 Sep 2022 · 6,093 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCytokines as Adjuvants for Vaccine and Cellular Therapies for CancerChristian M. Capitini, Terry J. Fry, Crystal L. MackallProblem statement: The development of a potent vaccine that can help treat tumors resistant to conventional cytotoxic therapies remains elusive. While part of the problem may be that trials have focused on patients with bulky residual disease, the desire to maximize responses to the vaccine remains. Approach: The gamma (γ) family of cytokines offered a unique opportunity to support the … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 14,348 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBetter Understanding of the Immunosuppressive Link between the Lymphocytic Immune Cells and the Decreased Cell Mediated Immunity in Head and Neck Cancer PatientsA.S. Abdulamir, R.R. Hafidh, N. Abdulmuhaimen et al.The purpose of this study was to determine the phenotyping of Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes (PBL) in Head and Neck Cancers (HNCA) patients and to relate this with the level of Cell-Mediated Immunity (CMI) measured by in vitro lymphoproliferative assay, in order to evaluate immune suppression in HNCA patients and its possible mechanisms. Accordingly, one hundred twenty two HNCA patients and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,303 accessesView PDF Cite
