  • As a follow-up of a previous investigation in which semisynthetic damsin derivatives were shown to possess up to 10 times higher cytoxicity in JIMT-1 breast cancer cells compared to normal breast epithelial MCF-10A cells, a range of new derivatives were prepared and assayed toward the same cells.

  • It has been reported that lung cancer cells exhibit upregulated expression of all key glycolytic enzymes [hexokinase 2 (HK2), phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase (PK)] ( 13 ), suggesting that the essential enzymes of the aerobic glycolytic pathway have a critical role in the development of lung carcinoma.

  • We isolated stromal cells from endometrial cancer patients to examine local biosynthesis of estrogens and tumor-stromal interactions. (scirp.org)
  • Next we examined the effects of steroid sulfatase inhibitor and aromatase inhibitor in monoculture of endometrial cancer cell line (Ishikawa) and in a co-culture system involving an Ishikawa cells and stromal cells. (scirp.org)
  • Of all androgens, the one that most negatively influences dermal papilla cells to produce follicle-shrinking cytokines is 5-α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is synthesized from testosterone by the enzyme 5-α-reductase. (antiaging-systems.com)
  • This causes p53 to pool, negatively influencing cell division and proliferation. (uni-heidelberg.de)
  • More proliferation was observed in muscle tissue of LBW-GLN than LBW-ALA piglets at 5 dpn, but there was no clear effect of supplementation on related gene expression. (nature.com)

  • bronchoalveolar lavage cells from control and CBD subjects to evaluate the beryllium salt-specific production of endogenous IL-10 and the effects of exogenous human rIL-10 (rhIL-10) on HLA expression, on the production of IL-2, IFN- , and TNF- , and on T lymphocyte proliferation. (cdc.gov)
  • One of the elementary cellular processes involved is the production of ribosomes, which cancer cells manipulate to ramp up production and thereby allow the high division rates needed. (uni-heidelberg.de)
  • Ribosomes are the nanomachines of the cell. (uni-heidelberg.de)
  • As biochemist Prof. Dr Ed Hurt explains, scientists first observed about 20 years ago that cancer cell division could be inhibited by blocking the production of new ribosomes. (uni-heidelberg.de)
