Awakening the sleeping/cancer-protecting angels in mutant p53-expressing human tumors: Mibolerone (Trade name: Cheque drops and Matenon), an anabolic-androgenic steroid, increases the expression of tumor suppressors genes, such as FOXO1, APAF1, p53, p53, TAp63, TAp73, INK4a/ARF, and others, induces regression of p53-mutated human tumors, via down-regulation of its target gene, 28/September/2018, 6.29 am
From Significance of the study to Public health relevance: Given that: (1) cancer suppressor p53 is mutated in more than 50% of human cancers of different tissue origin; (2) p53 pathway is altered in about 80% of tumors.; (3) our understanding is incomplete in terms of molecular targets and the oncogenic/malignant pathways involved in mutant […]
A probiotic way to say no to autoimmune diabetes: Probiotic Lactococcus lactis increases PD-L1 expression, increases Tregs function, promotes immune tolerance, increases pancreatic β-cell proliferation and regeneration, increases insulin secretion, improves insulin sensitivity, increases energy utilization, and reverses TIDM, via up-regulation of its target gene, 27/September/2018, 8.10 pm
