The Functionality of Peptides and Cancer
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Peptides are short chains of amino acid monomer molecules linked through a covalent chemical bond (Scitable). They are designed to start, promote, and prohibit several cellular functions through chemical secretion—from paracrine and endocrine signals to various growth factors and neurotransmitters. Operating at the cellular level, peptides secrete elements that promote and regulate a wide variety of cellular systems. (Peptide Guide).

متن کاملAntimicrobial Peptides of Innate Immune System as a Suitable Compound for Cancer Treatment and Reduction of its Related Infectious Disease
Application of chemotherapy in cancerous children leads to reduction of immune system efficiency. Therefore, these children are prone to various infectious diseases. The excessive use of antibiotics can bring about antibiotic resistant strains. Hence, it is essential to investigate new therapies for this problem. On the other hand, the emergence of resistance against multiple drugs is a major p...
متن کاملIdentification of a Novel Tumor-Binding Peptide for Lung Cancer Through in-vitro Panning
Tumor-targeted therapies are playing growing roles in cancer research. The exploitation of these powerful therapeutic modalities largely depends on the discovery of tumor-targeting ligands. Phage display has proven a promising high throughput screening tool for the identification of novel specific peptides with high binding affinity to cancer cells. In the present study, we describe the use of ...

Breast cancer has become common in developing and developed countries. Alarming increase in this disease as a leading cause of death in women is a concern of all. Despite the significant improvements in the management of breast cancer, the survival rate is not more than 20% - 25%. For this study, MDA-MB231 cell line was used and the effect of ICD-85 (biologically active peptides from venomous ...
متن کاملRadiolabeling the Peptides extracted from Scorpion venom (ICD-85) with 99mTc as treatment and imaging agent for cancer
Introduction: Venoms are a mixture of proteins and peptides which can be used for fighting cancers. They can affect the exposed fibers and the muscles directly or through motor nerves, causing neuromuscular intoxication. ICD-85 is a combination of three poly-peptides derived from the venoms of an Iranian brown snake and a yellow scorpion. Materials and Methods...
