Differential Attachment of Pulmonary Cells on PDMS Substrate with Varied Features
Cancer is now a global concern, and control of the function of cancer cells is recognized as an important challenge. Although many aggressive chemical and radiation methods are in practice to eliminate cancer cells, most imply severe adverse toxic effects on patients. Taking advantage of natural physical differences between cancer and normal cells might benefit the patient with more specific cy...

متن کاملFenofibrate attenuates contact-stimulated cell motility and gap junctional coupling in DU-145 human prostate cancer cell populations.
In the present study, we investigated the effects of fenofibrate on the invasive potential of DU-145 human prostate cancer cells in the context of gap junctional intercellular coupling and the formation of reactive oxygen species. Time-lapse analyses of cell motility, accompanied by tests of cell viability, membrane microviscosity, reactive oxygen species accumulation and the function of gap ju...
متن کاملThe synergistic influence of the sea cucumber (Holothuria arenicola) extract and dacarbazine on murine melanoma cancer cells B16F10
Melanoma has been reported a contemporary malignant cancer. Here, anti-cancer effects of sea cucumber extract (SCE) have been examined on melanoma cells and compared with dacarbazine. MTT assay and morphological analysis were performed to evaluate cytotoxic effects of methanolic SCE Also, several methods were exerted to detect cell dying by SCE and dacarbazine. The MTT assay showed that B16F10 ...
متن کاملTherapeutic Effects of PPARα Agonists on Diabetic Retinopathy in Type 1 Diabetes Models
Retinal vascular leakage, inflammation, and neovascularization (NV) are features of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Fenofibrate, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) agonist, has shown robust protective effects against DR in type 2 diabetic patients, but its effects on DR in type 1 diabetes have not been reported. This study evaluated the efficacy of fenofibrate on DR in type 1 dia...
