Background: Bladder cancer (BC) is a common and deadly disease, and despite recent treatment advances, metastatic BC (mBC) remains incurable. Mutations in genes that encode epigenetic/chromatin modifier proteins are common in mBC, with >90% of tumors harboring at least one inactivating mutation. The epigenetic reader protein MPP8 recognizes the his...

Objective: Oral cancer is the sixteenth most prevalent cancer in the world and the third-most in India. Despite of several treatment modalities, the cure rate of oral cancer is still low due to drug resistance mechanisms, which are caused by many reasons. It is necessary to improve the existing treatment strategies and discover neoteric therapy to...

Apoptosis is the elimination of functionally non-essential, neoplastic, and infected cells via the mitochondrial pathway or death receptor pathway. The process of apoptosis is highly regulated through membrane channels and apoptogenic proteins. Apoptosis maintains cellular balance within the human body through cell cycle progression. Loss of apopto...

Evodiamine shows its anticancer potential by modulating aberrant signaling pathways. Additi...

Since December 2019 SARS-CoV-2 infections have affected millions of people worldwide. Along with the increasing number of COVID-19 patients, the number of cases of opportunistic fungal infections among the COVID-19 patients is also increasing. There have been reports of the cases of aspergillosis and candidiasis in the COVID-19 patients. The COVID-...

The dysregulated expression of the transcription factor (TF) Sry-related HMG box 9 (SOX9) has been extensively correlated with various biological effects, including the initiation and progression of cancer. Differential expression of SOX9 has been positively correlated with cancer cell growth, invasion, migration, metastasis, and therapy resistance...

The present study fabricates biogenic zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) with the aqueous leaf extract of Annona muricata (Am) plant collected from semi-evergreen forests of Odisha, India. The synthesized Am-ZnO NPs were physicochemically characterized. The ultraviolet/visible spectrum showed the maximum optical absorbance of Am-ZnO NPs at 355 nm....

Bioceramic materials based biological implants have gained enormous attention in research due to their extensive medical application. However, release of wear debris from them limits their clinical relevance due to many health risks in the recipient. Thus, we decided to evaluate the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of wear debris released from Stronti...

The presence of small subpopulations of cells within tumor cells are known as cancer stem cells (CSCs). These cells have been the reason for metastasis, resistance with chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and tumor relapse in several types of cancers. CSCs underwent to epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and resulted in the development of aggressive...

Aims The first-generation epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), gefitinib, continues to be a primary treatment option for lung cancer patients. However, acquisition of resistance to gefitinib is a major obstacle in lung cancer treatment and its cause is poorly understood. The present study aimed to implicate the rol...

The open innovation hub Digital Health and Patient Safety Platform (DHPSP) was recently established with the purpose to invigorate collaborative scientific research and the development of new digital products and personalized solutions aiming to improve human health and patient safety. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of a Twitter-base...

Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are preferred treatments for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) that have EGFR activating mutations. Although the initial responses to first- to third-generation EGFR-TKIs is impressive, these agents become ineffective because of the rapid emergence of resistance mediated by...

Dysregulation of transcription factors is one of the common problems in the pathogenesis of human cancer. SOX9 is one of the critical transcription factors involved in various diseases, including cancer. The expression of SOX9 is regulated by microRNAs (miRNAs), methylation, phosphorylation, and acetylation. Interestingly, SOX9 acts as a proto-onco...

Studies have established the presence of a small subpopulation of cells within tumor cells, known as cancer stem cells (CSCs). These cells have evidently been the reason for metastasis, chemotherapy or radiotherapy resistance and tumor relapses in several types of cancers. CSCs are prone to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), resulting in a...

Background: Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.) Pers is one of the most valuable plants due to its ornamental and pharmacological relevance. It is known for its anti-diabetic activity with proved potent blood sugar-lowering activity. The anti-diabetic activity is due to presence of its biologically active component corosolic acid. Moreover, L. speciosa and...

Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR‐TKIs) have led to a substantial improvement in the prognosis of lung cancer patients by explicitly targeting the activating mutations within the EGFR.
