Cancer therapy targeting cancer stem cells in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and other metastatic cancers: Misoprostol, an FDA-approved EP4 agonist and abortion-promoting drug, increases the expression of tumor suppressor genes, such as HNF4α, CADM2, p53, and TA-p73/p63, targets CML leukemic stem cells, confers protection against CML and prolongs survival, via up-regulation of its target gene, 13/November/2018,11.20 pm
Introduction: What they say: A study from the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Carver College of Medicine, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA shows that “Prostaglandin E1 and Its Analog Misoprostol Inhibit Human CML Stem Cell Self-Renewal via EP4 Receptor Activation and Repression of AP-1.” This study was published, in the 30 August […]
Probiotic-based therapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Lactobacillus rhamnosus decreases the expression of BCLAF1, promotes differentiation of acute myeloid leukemic cells, restores treatment responsiveness, increases therapeutic index of anticancer drugs, and promotes regression of AML via up-regulation of its target gene, 12/August/2018, 10.40 pm
Introduction: What they say: A study from the Institute of Genetics and Biophysics, CNR, Naples, Italy; and Department of Biochemistry, Biophysics and General Pathology, Second University of Naples, Naples, Italy shows that “miR-194-5p/BCLAF1 deregulation in AML tumorigenesis” This study was published in the 20 February 2017 issue of the journal “Leukemia” [One of the best […]

Molecular therapy for cardiac dysfunction: Candisartan, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist used in the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure, decreases Mir-29 expression, activates Wnt- signaling and its components GSK3B, ICAT/CTNNBIP1, HBP1, and GLIS2, attenuates pathologic hypertrophy, inhibits fibrosis of the heart tissue, and improves cardiac function via upregulation of its target gene, 12/November/2018, 9.06 pm
Introduction: What they say: A recent study from the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Technical University Munich (TUM), 80802, Munich, Germany; DZHK (German Center for Cardiovascular Research), partner site Munich Heart Alliance, 80802, Munich, Germany; and Mount Sinai, Cardiovascular Research Center, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, 10029, USA shows that […]
Molecular therapy for Myocardial Infarction: MANF (mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor) inhibits DNA damage responses, induces telomerase expression, inhibits telomere shortening, and promotes cardiomyocyte survival after myocardial infarction, via up-regulation of PNUTS, 12/November/2018, 8.19 pm
What they say: A recent study from the Institute for Cardiovascular Regeneration, Centre of Molecular Medicine, Frankfurt, Germany shows that “MicroRNA-34a regulates cardiac ageing and function.” This study was published, in the 7 March 2013 issue of of the journal Nature, by Prof Dimmler, Boon, and others. What we say: On the foundation of this interesting finding, Dr L Boominathan PhD, Director-cum-chief Scientist of GBMD, reports that: Molecular therapy for Myocardial Infarction: MANF (mesencephalic astrocyte-derived […]
Probiotic-based chemotherapy targeting cancer stem cells and immune-inhibitory receptors in advanced ovarian cancer and other metastatic cancers: A pharmaceutical mixture encompassing Olaparib, an FDA-approved poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitor, and probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus increases the expression of tumor suppressor genes, such as FOXO1, CADM2, p53, and TA-p73/p63, inhibits immune-inhibitory receptors/molecules, targets ovarian cancer stem cells, confers protection against chemoresistance and prolongs survival, via up-regulation of its target gene, 12/November/2018, 8.01 pm
