Protein kinase research presents an opportunity to explore molecular targets in the body to treat diseases like cancer and autoimmune disorders. These enzymes have the potential to bind to cellular sites and inhibit dysfunctional behavior, such as the overproduction of cancerous cells and tumor formation.
Researchers describe a new potential role for Oleanolic Acid as a modulator of the DNA damage response following Camptothecin treatment. Administration of Oleanolic Acid in combination with Camptothecin for cancer chemotherapy may reduce the amount of drug needed and increase the effectiveness of treatment.
Exposure to heavy metals compromises immune functions and reduces reproductive success in the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), according to a new paper published by researchers working with the Sbarro Health Research Organization (SHRO) at Temple University in collaboration with the veterinary research group of the Department of Health Sciences at Magna Graecia University of Catanzaro, Italy.
The National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) and the Sbarro Health Research Organization (SHRO) named Dr. Luana Colloca the recipient of the 2024 Giovan Giacomo Giordano-NIAF Lifetime Achievement Award for Ethics and Creativity in Medical Research.
In patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low breast cancer, the molecular classification of their case plays a pivotal role in the formulation of personalized treatment plans aimed at optimizing outcomes. Despite notable advancements in this field, significant challenges persist. Issues such as pre-analytical variability, interpretative ambiguity, and inconsistent threshold definitions hinder accurate diagnosis and subsequent treatment decisions. In this context, emerging liquid biopsy technologies present a promising solution.
Capsaicin, the compound in chili peppers which gives them their spicy taste, may become a source of new, natural drugs for the hard-to-treat Mesothelioma type of cancer.
