[Inflammation Research] Scientists demonstrated the protective role of Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) against pancreatic β cell dysfunction and to probe into the underlying mechanisms.

[BMC Cancer] The bioactivities of inhibitors on PTEN adequate Huh7 and deficient Mahlavu cells were investigated with real time cell growth, cell cycle and cell migration assays.

[Anti-Cancer Drugs] Scientists investigated whether the novel factor 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzyl alcohol, suppressed the activity of metastatic human prostate cancer PC-3 or DU-145 cells.

[Cell Death & Disease] Scientists detected the receptor tyrosine kinase activity in gefitinib-resistant colorectal cancer cells, pan-erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 3 (ErbB3)/EGFR was significantly activated and provided a potential multi-ErbB treatment target.

[Science Signaling] The authors found that glucocorticoid receptor was present in cytoplasmic KRAS-containing complexes and inhibited the activation of wild-type and oncogenic KRAS in mouse embryonic fibroblasts and human lung cancer A549 cells.

[Advanced Science] Scientists isolated extracellular vesicles (EVs) from key stages of the human induced pluripotent stem cell-cardiomyocyte differentiation and maturation, with the aim of identifying a promising cell biofactory for EV production, and pinpointed the genetic signatures of bioactive EVs.
