Introduction: What they say A study from the Cardiac Regeneration and Ageing Lab, School of Life Science, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China shows that “miR-29b contributes to multiple types of muscle atrophy.” This research paper was published, in the 25 May 2017 issue of the journal “Nature communications” [One of the best research journals in Biology with an I.F of 11.329 ], by Prof. […]
Natural product-derived therapy for muscle atrophy and wasting: Wedelolactone, one of the components of Eclipta Alba, increases the expression of FGF19 and its receptor ß-Klotho, phosphorylates ERK1/2 and S6K1, decreases the expression of tumor suppressors genes, promotes regeneration of muscle cells and hypertrophy of skeletal muscle, and reverses muscular atrophy and wasting via up regulation of its target gene, 26/July/2017, 11.53 am
Introduction: What they say A study from Department of Biology, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway; and Univ-Lyon, CarMeN Laboratory, INSERM 1060, INRA 1397, Université Claude Bernard Lyon, INSA Lyon, Oullins, France shows that FGF19 regulates skeletal muscle mass and ameliorates muscle wasting in mice. This research paper was published, in the 26 June 2017 issue […]
Natural product-derived therapy for prostate cancer: Magnolol, one of the components of Magnolol Grandiflora (MG), inhibits the expression of mTORC1 and its downstream target AMD1, dismantles mTORC1-AMD1 signaling network, decreases polyamine levels, and inhibits prostate cancer progression via up regulation of its target gene, 26/July/2017, 11.44 pm
Introduction: What they say: A study from CIC bioGUNE (Center for Cooperative Research in Biosciences), Bizkaia Technology Park, 801 Building, 48160 Derio, Spain shows that “mTORC1-dependent AMD1 regulation sustains polyamine metabolism in prostate cancer.” This study was published in the 28 June 2017 issue of the journal “Nature” [One of the best journals in General Science with an I.F of 43] by Profs.Carracedo A, Amaia […]
Natural product-derived Ptpn2 pathway blockade enhances the efficacy of Cancer immunotherapy: Honokiol, isolated from Magnolia grandiflora, inhibits the expression of protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN2, increases interferon-IFNγ signalling, augments antigen presentation and unfolding response, increases Cytotoxic activity of T-cells, decreases tumor burden and increases survival via up-regulation of its target gene, 25/July/2017, 2.23 pm
Introduction:What they say: A recent study from Department of Pediatric Oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA; Broad Institute of Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, USA; and Division of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, Children’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA has identified Ptpn2 as a cancer immunotherapy target.
