Ribonucleic acid-based therapy for Diabetes Mellitus: LncRNA CACS15 augments the expression of FGF19 and FGF1,  attenuates hepatic glucose production, decreases hepatic acetyl CoA content, brings down the levels of plasma ACTH, and corticosterone, augments insulin sensitivity, promotes weight loss and alleviates TIDM via upregulation of its target gene, 25/February/2019, 1.34 am

Introduction: What they say  A study from Diabetes and Obesity Center of Excellence, Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA shows that Central injection of FGF1 induces sustained remission of diabetic hyperglycemia in rodents.

Probiotic-based chemotherapy targeting cancer stem cells and immune-inhibitory receptors in advanced metastatic cancers: A pharmaceutical mixture encompassing Canthardin   and probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus increases the expression of tumor suppressor genes, such as TPM1, TIMP3, p53, and TA-p73/p63, inhibits immune-inhibitory receptors/molecules, targets cancer stem cells, confers protection against chemoresistance and prolongs survival, via up-regulation of its target gene, 25/February/2019, `1.27 am

What we say: On the foundation of this interesting finding, Dr L Boominathan PhD, the Director-cum-chief Scientist of GBMD, reports that:  Probiotic-based chemotherapy targeting cancer stem cells and immune-inhibitory receptors in advanced metastatic cancers: A pharmaceutical mixture encompassing Canthardin   and probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus increases the expression of tumor suppressor genes, such as TPM1, TIMP3, p53, and TA-p73/p63, inhibits […]

The Ptpn2 pathway blockade enhances the efficacy of Cancer immunotherapy: A therapeutic mix encompassing Metformin, Navitoclax, dasatinib, 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2DG) (MNDDG)  inhibits the expression of protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN2, increases interferon-IFNγ signaling, 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/February/2019, 1.17 am

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. This study was […]
