    Manipulating Redox Homeostasis of Cancer Stem Cells Overcome Chemotherapeutic Resistance through Photoactivatable Biomimetic Nanodiscs

    A nanotherapeutic strategy was developed using tumor-penetrating peptide iRGD-modified high-density lipoprotein-mimetic nanodiscs that ingeniously loaded with pyropheophorbide-a, bis (2-hydroxyethyl) disulfide, and camptothecin by synthesizing two amphiphilic drug-conjugated sphingomyelin derivatives.

    LncRNA WWTR1-AS1 Upregulates Notch3 through miR-136 to Increase Cancer Cell Stemness in Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma

    WWTR1-AS1 expression was upregulated in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) tissues. WWTR1-AS1 was predicted to interact with miR-136, whereas correlation analysis revealed that there was no close correlation between WWTR1-AS1 and miR-136 across CSCC samples.
