Molecular therapy for glioblastoma: A therapeutic mix encompassing Temozolomide (TMZ), 17-AAG, Simvastatin, Salinomycin, Linalool, Amitriptyline (TASSLA) inhibits the expression of JMJD6, impairs functioning of transcription elongation machinery, inhibits the proliferation of glioblastoma cells, suppresses tumor cell migration, reduces metastasis and prolongs survival via down regulation of its target gene, 22/November/2017, 6.06 am

Introduction: What they say: A study from the Department of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, Lerner Research Institute, Ohio, USA shows that “Transcription elongation factors represent in vivo cancer dependencies in glioblastoma.” This study was published, in the 5 July 2017 issue of the journal “Nature” [One of the best journals in Science with […]

Natural product-derived combinatorial therapy for therapy-resistant cancers: A therapeutic mix encompassing encompassing   β-cryptoxanthin (BCX), Sodium butyrate, Fucoxanthin, Ganetespib, Rosuvastatin and Cyclophosphamide (BCXSFGRC) inhibits the expression of phospholipid glutathione peroxidase (GPX4), inhibits GPX4 signaling network and lipid peroxidase pathway, suppresses EMT protein ZEB1, increases sensitivity to anticancer therapy and prolongs survival via up regulation of its target gene, 21/November/2017, 10.49 pm

Introduction: What they say: A study from Broad Institute, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Chevy Chase, Maryland and Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Harvard University, Oxford St., Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA shows that “Dependency of a therapy-resistant state of cancer cells on a lipid peroxidase pathway.” This study was published, in the 5 July […]
