Open AccessPreclinical studies using cisplatin/carboplatin to restore the Enzalutamide sensitivity via degrading the androgen receptor splicing variant 7 (ARv7) to further suppress Enzalutamide resistant prostate cancer
The FDA-approved anti-androgen Enzalutamide (Enz) has been used successfully as the last line therapy to extend castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients’ survival by an extra 4.8 months. However, C...

Open AccessComparison of the effects of introducing the CRISPR/Cas9 system by microinjection and electroporation into porcine embryos at different stages
Cytoplasmic microinjection and electroporation of the CRISPR/Cas9 system into zygotes are used for generating genetically modified pigs. However, these methods create mosaic mutations in embryos. In this study...

Open AccessTiming and duration of lipofection-mediated CRISPR/Cas9 delivery into porcine zygotes affect gene-editing events
Lipofection-mediated introduction of the CRISPR/Cas9 system in porcine zygotes provides a simple method for gene editing, without requiring micromanipulation. However, the gene editing efficiency is inadequate...

Open AccessThe OGT–c-Myc–PDK2 axis rewires the TCA cycle and promotes colorectal tumor growth
Deregulated glucose metabolism termed the “Warburg effect” is a fundamental feature of cancers, including the colorectal cancer. This is typically characterized with an increased rate of glycolysis, and a conc...
