mTOR Contributes to Endothelium-Dependent Vasorelaxation by Promoting eNOS Expression and Preventing eNOS Uncoupling
Researchers showed that either the endothelium-specific deletion of Mtor to inhibit both mTOR complexes, or depletion of Raptor or Rictor to disrupt mTORC1 or mTORC2, caused impaired endothelial-dependent vasodilatation.
[Oncogenesis] By using both mouse and human TNBC cell lines, investigators found that diltiazem decreased colony formation and cell migration in breast cancer cells.
[Nature Cell Biology] Researchers discovered that a C2H2 zinc finger protein, ZNF827, is strongly induced during various contexts of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), including in brain development and breast cancer metastasis.
[Molecular Therapy Oncolytics] In an ex vivoassay, the size of freshly isolated human breast cancer tissues, including ER-positive & negative as well as HER2-positive & negative, was reduced by YS49-treated mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) derived conditioned medium.
