Open AccessDYRK2 downregulation in colorectal cancer leads to epithelial–mesenchymal transition induction and chemoresistance
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most prominent causes of cancer-associated mortality in the world, with chemoresistance representing one of the leading causes of treatment failure. However, the mechanisms...

Open AccessHomologous targeting nanoparticles for enhanced PDT against osteosarcoma HOS cells and the related molecular mechanisms
No prominent advancements in osteosarcoma (OS) treatment have been made in the past 20 years. Although photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging technique for cancer therapy, the lack of targeted photosensitiz...

Open AccessRhoA enhances osteosarcoma resistance to MPPa-PDT via the Hippo/YAP signaling pathway
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most prevalent primary bone malignancy affecting adolescents, yet the emergence of chemoradiotherapeutic resistance has limited efforts to cure affected patients to date. Pyropheophorb...

Efficient development and expression of scFv recombinant proteins against PD-L1 surface domain and potency in cancer therapy
PD-L1 is a 40 kDa trans-membrane protein of B7 family and an important T cell regulator. Binding of PD-L1 and PD-1 inhibits proliferation and activation of T cell results cell exhaustion. This phenomenon can b...

Modification of ricin A chain, by addition of endoplasmic reticulum (KDEL) or Golgi (YQRL) retention sequences, enhances its cytotoxicity and translocation
A pKK expression system in Escherichia coli was used to produce recombinant ricin A chain (rRTA) and rRTA modified by addition of organelle-specific amino acid retention sequences, including KDEL (an endoplas...
