Regulation of Mitochondrial Function by MicroRNA
Mitochondria are organelles that are instrumental for the life as well as the death of cell. They have their own genome, present in multiple copies. The mitochondrial genome codes for 13 subunits of mitochondr...

Vitamin E Analogues as Prototypic Mitochondria-Targeting Anti-cancer Agents
Mitochondria have emerged recently as a novel, intriguing target for anti-caner drugs, owing largely to their importance for proper growth of cancer cells. Destabilization of mitochondria often results in the ...

Mitochondrial targeting overcomes ABCA1-dependent resistance of lung carcinoma to α-tocopheryl succinate
α-Tocopheryl succinate (α-TOS) is a promising anti-cancer agent due to its selectivity for cancer cells. It is important to understand whether long-term exposure of tumour cells to the agent will render them r...

Open AccessThiodigalactoside inhibits murine cancers by concurrently blocking effects of galectin-1 on immune dysregulation, angiogenesis and protection against oxidative stress
Cancer cells produce galectin-1 as a tumor promoting protein. Thiodigalactoside (TDG) as a non-metabolised small drug, is shown to suppress tumor growth by inhibiting multiple cancer enhancing activities of ga...

α-Tocopheryl succinate causes mitochondrial permeabilization by preferential formation of Bak channels
Mitocans are drugs selectively killing cancer cells by destabilizing mitochondria and many induce apoptosis via generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the molecular events by which ROS productio...

Iliac hyperdense line: a new radiographic sign of gluteal muscle contracture
Background: A hyperdense line on the ilium that runs roughly parallel to the sacroiliac joint (we called it “iliac hyperdense line sign”) was frequently observed on pelvic radiographs of patients with gluteal mus...

B lymphocyte pathology in human colorectal cancer. Experimental and clinical therapeutic effects of partial B cell depletion
Accumulating data are showing that the humoral immune response against tumors could favor tumor progression. However, no B lymphocyte pathology has been reported in cancer. Using anti-IgM Ab we nonspecificall...
