Antibody–Drug Nanoparticle Induces Synergistic Treatment Efficacies in HER2 Positive Breast Cancer Cells

Antibody–drug nanoparticles were engineered by synthesizing pure anti-cancer drug nanorods in the core of nanoparticles with a therapeutic monoclonal antibody, Trastuzumab on the surface of NRs for specific targeting and synergistic treatments of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive breast cancer cells.

Chitosan Hydrogel-Loaded MSC-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Promote Skin Rejuvenation by Ameliorating the Senescence of Dermal Fibroblasts

Chitosan (CS) hydrogel-encapsulated extracellular vesicles could delay the skin aging processes by ameliorating the function of aging dermal fibroblasts. The results also highlighted the potential of CS hydrogel-encapsulated extracellular vesicles as a novel therapeutic strategy for improving aging skin to rejuvenation.

RAF-Mutant Melanomas Differentially Depend on ERK2 over ERK1 to Support Aberrant MAPK Pathway Activation and Cell Proliferation

Investigators demonstrated that ERK2 drove BRAF-mutant melanoma gene expression and proliferation as a function of its higher expression compared to ERK1.

BASP1 Labels Neural Stem Cells in the Neurogenic Niches of Mammalian Brain

Researchers describe the expression of brain abundant, membrane-attached signal protein 1 (BASP1), in neural stem cells (NSCs) in the developing and postnatal mammalian brains and human brain organoids, and demonstrated that the NSC-6 antibody may be a useful marker of these cells.

EGFL7 as a Novel Therapeutic Candidate Regulates Cell Invasion and Anoikis in Colorectal Cancer through PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway

Epidermal growth factor-like domain-containing protein 7 (EGFL7) was upregulated in several colorectal cancer cell lines as compared with normal intestinal epithelial cell line HIEC. Transfection of EGFL7 siRNA significantly decreased cell proliferation and invasion capacity of SW620 and LoVo cells.

CircVAPA Exerts Oncogenic Property in Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer by the miR‐876‐5p/WNT5A Axis

RT‐qPCR was used to measure the expression of genes. Actinomycin D and RNase R were employed to examine the stability of circVAPA. CCK‐8, EdU, Transwell, sphere formation assay, and western blot analysis were conducted to examine the changes of NSCLC cells in response to circVAPA knockdown. Luciferase reporter assay was conducted for molecular mechanism.
