    Ultrasound-Mediated Drug-Free Theranostics for Treatment of Prostate Cancer

    Researchers hypothesized that tumor-accumulated prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-nanobubbles combined with low frequency unfocused therapeutic US would lead to selective damage and induce a specific therapeutic effect in PSMA-expressing tumors compared to PSMA-negative tumors.

    A Theragenerative Bio-Nanocomposite Consisting of Black Phosphorus Quantum Dots for Bone Cancer Therapy and Regeneration

    The inhibitory effects of bare black phosphorus nanomaterials and nanocomposites on the migration and invasion of bone cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer cells were assessed in vitro to determine the anticancer potential of nanomaterials against primary and secondary bone cancers.

    Targeting Prostate Tumor Low–Molecular Weight Tyrosine Phosphatase for Oxidation-Sensitizing Therapy

    Scientists found ACP1 up-regulated in human prostate tumors and ACP1 expression inversely correlated with overall survival. Using CRISPR-Cas9–generated LMPTP knockout C4-2B and MyC-CaP cells, they identified LMPTP as a critical promoter of prostate cancer growth and bone metastasis.

    A Phase I Study of Acapatamab, a Half-Life Extended, PSMA-Targeting Bispecific T-Cell Engager for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

    Patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer refractory to androgen receptor pathway inhibitor therapy and taxane-based chemotherapy received target acapatamab doses ranging from 0.003 mg–0.9 mg in dose exploration and 0.3 mg in dose expansion intravenously Q2W.

    A Plasma Membrane–Associated Form of the Androgen Receptor Enhances Nuclear Androgen Signaling in Osteoblasts and Prostate Cancer Cells

    In male mouse osteoblasts and human prostate cancer cells, dihydrotestosterone induced the expression of Ctnnb1 and CTNN1B, respectively, as well as β-catenin target genes, stimulating the proliferation, survival, and differentiation of osteoblasts and the proliferation of prostate cancer cells in a PKG2-dependent fashion.

    EXO1/P53/SREBP1 Axis-Regulated Lipid Metabolism Promotes Prostate Cancer Progression

    Researchers discovered that EXO1 acted as a novel biomarker of prostate cancer, which promoted prostate cancer progression by regulating lipid metabolism reprogramming in prostate cancer cells.

    INDUSTRY AND POLICY NEWS

    Open-Access Papers Draw More Citations from a Broader Readership

    Researchers report that open-access papers have a greater reach than paywalled ones in two key ways: They attract more total citations, and those citations come from scholars in a wider range of locations, institutions, and fields of research.
