Abstract Background and Aims: The number of new cancer cases with considerable mortality is increasing worldwide. Since the inability of current therapies in treatment of patients and prevention the progress of tumors with fewer side effects, implementation of new methods is needed. Gene therapy has widespread systemic cytotoxic effects against tumor cells. Rotavirus NSP4 has been shown to...

CAR-Т cell therapy with the use of cytotoxic lymphocytes chimeric antigen receptors occupies an important place among modern approaches to cancer treatment. This has established itself as effective method treatment CD19+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Nevertheless, recurrences illness are not uncommon; solid tumors genetically engineered shows modest results and it is accompanied by high toxicit...

cranesbill (geranium species) are used traditionally as tonic, antidiabetic, antidiarrheal, antihemorrhoidal, diuretic and for the treatment of cough, fever, tonsillitis, urticaria, kidney pain and gastrointestinal ailments. the leaves of some geranium species are consumed in traditional turkish cousin as salad or added to pastry. in the present study, different extracts from g. psilostemon and...

a series of 2-amino-4-aryl-3-cyano-7-(dimethylamino)-4 h -chromenes was synthesized by condensation of 3-(dimethylamino)phenol, an aromatic aldehyde and malonitrile in ethanol containing piperidine. the assignments of the structure of all synthesized compounds were based on spectral data (ir, mass and 1 h nmr). the cytotoxic activities of the synthesized compounds against six human tumor cell l...

Angiogenesis inhibitors differ from conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy agents by targeting normal cells rather than tumor cells, which may contain multiple mutations. Because of this, the traditional strategy used in clinical development of cytotoxic agents may not be appropriate for these novel agents. Many clinical studies are now evaluating these agents with a new approach, referred to as t...

The management of breast cancer requires the judicious use of cytotoxic therapy, hormone therapy, radiotherapy, analgesics, and other forms of physical and psychological support for optimal palliation of symptoms and prolongation of survival. Patients with low-risk metastatic breast cancer often benefit from hormone therapy as initial management; other patients are best treated with early intro...

In this study, human MCF-7 breast cancer cells, which express functional estrogen and progesterone receptors, were used to compare the efficacy of combined antiestrogen plus antiprogestin therapy to antiestrogen monotherapy. Cells were treated with the antiestrogen 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT) and/or the antiprogestin mifepristone (MIF) and effects on cell proliferation (cytostatic action), cell ...
