Conventional chemotherapy leads to severe side-effects such as nephrotoxicity, nausea and vomiting and fatigue along with drug resistance. Alkylating agents used to treat cancer were even shown to provoke second cancers, often years after the end of chemot ...
Targeted angiostatic therapy receives major attention for the treatment of cancer and exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been used as an effective clinical approach for these diseases. Since PDT can cause an an ...
During tumor progression cells acquire an altered metabolism, either as a cause or as a consequence of an increased need of energy and nutrients. All four major classes of macromolecules are affected: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. As a ...
The identification of compounds that specifically inhibit or kill cancer cells without affecting cells from healthy tissues is very challenging but very important for reducing the side effects of current cancer therapies. Hence, there is an urgent need for ...
At present time, cancer is the leading cause of death in developed countries. The medical imaging tools currently used in clinics such as radiology, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, microscopy and endoscopy are not able to reach the sensitivity necessar ...
It is a time of great promise and expectation for the applications of knowledge about mechanisms of cancer toward more effective and enduring therapies for human disease. Conceptualizations such as the hallmarks of cancer are providing an organizing princi ...
The hallmarks of cancer comprise six biological capabilities acquired during the multistep development of human tumors. The hallmarks constitute an organizing principle for rationalizing the complexities of neoplastic disease. They include sustaining proli ...
Tumor-mobilized bone marrow-derived CD11b(+) myeloid cells promote tumor angiogenesis, but how and when these cells acquire proangiogenic properties is not fully elucidated. Here, we show that CD11b(+) myelomonocytic cells develop proangiogenic properties ...
Both metal complexes and organic molecules are widely used for the treatment of various diseases including cancer - in addition to surgery and radiotherapy. Recent years have witnessed a surge of interest in the application of organometallic compounds to t ...
Changes in the glycosylation pattern of cellular glycoproteins constitute a hallmark in human cancer and influence tumour progression, suggesting that inhibitors of selected glycosidases may control cancer invasion. Following the studies on swainsonine, a ...
