Medicinal plants have been investigated for possible anti-cancer effects. The aim of the present study was to examine the cytotoxic activity of several medicinal plants on different tumor cell lines. 11 selected plant species which have been used in folkloric prescriptions were collected from different sites of Hamedan district of Iran. The methanolic extracts of the plants were prepared and th...

Colorectal adenocarcinoma is the most common type of gastrointestinal cancer. Colon adenocarcinoma is a major health problem worldwide due to the high prevalence and mortality rates associated with the disease. The majority of colorectal carcinomas are adenocarcinomas, which originate from the epithelial cells of the colorectal mucosa. HT-29 cells, which originate from human colon adenocarcinom...

Landomycin E (LE) was recently isolated from Streptomyces globisporus strain 1912 and its chemical structure was studied. However, its biological activity is still poorly understood. We performed in vitro investigation of antitumor activity of this new member of the angucyclin family of antibiotics. Dose-dependent effect of LE on growth and survival of different tumor cell lines was studied in ...

In recent years, FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH RT) has gained attention in preclinical studies as a potential advancement cancer treatment. The great advantage of RT is the ultra-fast, high doses delivery that have similar or greater effect on cells while sparing normal, healthy tissue surrounding tumor site. This known effect. However, currently, there are not enough vitro and vivo data to transpo...

objective: recently, phage display libraries have received enormous attention for identification and isolation of pharmaceutical molecules with diagnostic and therapeutic properties. peptide libraries are known as one of the most important and widely used types of phage display libraries. in the current study, we aimed to screen the ph.d.tm-7 phage display peptide library through biopanning for...

The dynamic reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton is regulated by a number of actin binding proteins (ABPs). Four human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines - parental and three selected sublines, which differ in motility and metastatic potential, were used to investigate the expression level and subcellular localization of selected ABPs. Our interest was focused on cofilin and ezrin. These prote...
