Drug delivery innovations for enhancing the anticancer potential of vitamin e isoforms and their derivatives
(2015)Vitamin E isoforms have been extensively studied for their anticancer properties. Novel drug delivery systems (DDS) that include liposomes, nanoparticles, and micelles are actively being developed to improve Vitamin E ...

Hyaluronan-Derived Swelling of Solid Tumors, the Contribution of Collagen and Cancer Cells, and Implications for Cancer Therapy
(2016)Despite the important role that mechanical forces play in tumor growth and therapy, the contribution of swelling to tumor mechanopathology remains unexplored. Tumors rich in hyaluronan exhibit a highly negative fixed charge ...

Induction of caspase-independent programmed cell death by vitamin E natural homologs and synthetic derivatives.
(2009)Current observations in the literature suggest that vitamin E may be a suitable candidate for cancer chemotherapy. To investigate this further, we examined the ability of the vitamin E natural homologs [alpha-, beta-, ...

Multiscale modelling of solid tumour growth: the effect of collagen micromechanics
(2016)Here we introduce a model of solid tumour growth coupled with a multiscale biomechanical description of the tumour microenvironment, which facilitates the explicit simulation of fibre–fibre and tumour–fibre interactions. ...

New antimony(III) bromide complexes with thioamides: Synthesis, characterization, and cytostatic properties
(2009)New antimony(III) bromide complexes with the heterocyclic thioamides, thiourea (TU), 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole (MMl), 2-mercapto-benzimidazole (MBZlM), 2-mercapto-5-methyl-benzimidazole (MMBZIM), 5-ethoxy-2-mercapto- ...

Phenoxodiol, an anticancer isoflavene, induces immunomodulatory effects in vitro and in vivo
(2009)Phenoxodiol (PXD) is a synthetic analogue of the plant isoflavone genistein with improved anticancer efficacy. Various properties and mechanisms of action have been attributed to the drug, the most important being its ...

Remodeling of extracellular matrix due to solid stress accumulation during tumor growth
(2015)Solid stresses emerge as the expanding tumor displaces and deforms the surrounding normal tissue, and also as a result of intratumoral component interplay. Among other things, solid stresses are known to induce extensive ...

Article
Role of constitutive behavior and tumor-host mechanical interactions in the state of stress and growth of solid tumors
(2014)Mechanical forces play a crucial role in tumor patho-physiology. Compression of cancer cells inhibits their proliferation rate, induces apoptosis and enhances their invasive and metastatic potential. Additionally, compression ...

Sonic-hedgehog pathway inhibition normalizes desmoplastic tumor microenvironment to improve chemo- and nanotherapy
(2017)Targeting the rich extracellular matrix of desmoplastic tumors has been successfully shown to normalize collagen and hyaluronan levels and re-engineer intratumoral mechanical forces, improving tumor perfusion and chemotherapy. ...

Stress-mediated progression of solid tumors: effect of mechanical stress on tissue oxygenation, cancer cell proliferation, and drug delivery
(2015)Oxygen supply plays a central role in cancer cell proliferation. While vascular density increases at the early stages of carcinogenesis, mechanical solid stresses developed during growth compress tumor blood vessels and, ...

Targeting IL13Ralpha2 activates STAT6-TP63 pathway to suppress breast cancer lung metastasis
(2015)Introduction: Basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) is an aggressive subtype often characterized by distant metastasis, poor patient prognosis, and limited treatment options. Therefore, the discovery of alternative targets to ...
