Natural product-derived Life-extension therapy: Cryptotanshinone (CPT), found in Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, inhibits the expression of Ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (p70S6 Kinase) and extends mammalian life span, 29/March/2017, 7.54 am

What they say: A study from the Institute of Healthy Ageing, Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology, Department of Medicine, University College London, London WC1E 6JJ, UK shows that “Ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 signaling regulates mammalian life span.” This study was published in the 2 October 2009 issue of the Journal “Science” (I.F: 31.477 ) by Prof Dominic J. Withers, Dr. Selman C and others. What we […]

Natural product-derived PD-1 pathway blockade for Human cancer therapy: Salvianolic acid A, one of the main components of Salvia Miltiorrhiza Bge, decreases the activity of Glycogen synthase kinase-3β, increases transcription factor T-bet expression, decreases the abundance of co-inhibitory receptor PD-1 on the cell surface of Cytotoxic-T-cells, increases cytotoxic T lymphocyte function and augments anti-tumor activity, via up-regulation of its target gene, 29/March/2017,4.53 am

Introduction:What they say:  A recent study from Cell Signalling Section, Division of Immunology, Department of Pathology, Tennis Court Road, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 1QP, UK shows that “Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Inactivation Drives T-bet-Mediated Downregulation of Co-receptor PD-1 to Enhance CD8(+) Cytolytic T Cell Responses.” This study was published in the 16 February 2016 issue […]

Natural product-derived therapy for prostate cancer bone metastasis: Linalool, found in coriander, sweet orange (Citrus sinensis), tomato, oils of rose, neroli, lavender, laurel and sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) among others, inhibits the expression of Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA), inhibits Shh-IL6-RANKL signaling network, suppresses tumor-stromal interactions, reduces prostate cancer metastasis and prolongs survival via up regulation of its target gene, 29/March/2017, 4.36 am

Introduction: What they say: A study from the Uro-Oncology Research Program, Department of Medicine, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California, USA shows that “MAOA-Dependent Activation of Shh-IL6-RANKL Signaling Network Promotes Prostate Cancer Metastasis by Engaging Tumor-Stromal Cell Interactions.” This study was published in the 13 March 2017 issue of the journal “Cancer Cell” [One of […]

Natural product-derived therapy for enhancing the efficacy of tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy in BCR-ABL-induced Human leukemia: Salvianolic acid A, one of the main components of Salvia Miltiorrhiza Bunge, decreases the expression of oncoproteins c-FOS, DUSP1 and BCR-ABL, inhibits TKI resistance, restores treatment responsiveness, increases therapeutic index of anticancer drugs, and cure CML and kinase-driven cancers via up-regulation of its target gene, 28/March/2017, 2.31 pm

Introduction: What they say: A study from the Division of Experimental Hematology, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA; Division of Pathology, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA shows that inhibition of c-FOS and DUSP1 abrogates intrinsic resistance to tyrosine-kinase inhibitor therapy in BCR-ABL-induced leukemia. This study was published in the 20 […]
