Selenium Nanoparticles with Various Morphology for Antiangiogenesis through bFGF-Mediated P13K/AKT Signaling Pathways

Selenium nanoparticles could competitively inhibit the binding of bFGF to fibroblast growth factor receptor through direct binding to bFGF, down-regulate the expression of bFGF in HUVEC cells, and significantly reduce the MAPK/Erk and P13K/AKT pathways activation of signaling molecules to regulate HUVEC cell migration and angiogenesis.

Tumor Irradiation Combined with Vascular-Targeted Photodynamic Therapy Enhances Antitumor Effects in Pre-Clinical Prostate Cancer

Scientists investigated whether sequential delivery of fractionated radiotherapy (FRT) followed by vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy (VTP) days later improved flank TRAMP-C1 prostate cancer tumor allograft control compared to monotherapy with FRT or VTP.
