Flavonoids, terpenoids, and polyketides are structurally diverse secondary metabolites used widely as pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. Most of these molecules exist in nature as glycosides, in which sugar residues act as a decisive factor in their architectural complexity and bioactivity. Engineering

The alterations induced in dendritic cells (DCs) in the cancer microenvironment have not been extensively explored. We found that the tumor-associated factor TGF-β may selectively upregulate the expression of miR-27a via the SP1 transcription factor. Importantly, miR-27a altered the activity

We report a series of copper(II) artificial metallo-nucleases (AMNs) and demonstrate their DNA damaging properties and in-vitro cytotoxicity against human-derived pancreatic cancer cells. The compounds combine a tris-chelating polypyridyl ligand, di-(2-pycolyl)amine (DPA), and a DNA intercalating phenanthrene unit. Their general

The pivotal role of cancer initiating stem cells (CSCs) in tumor initiation, growth, metastasis and drug resistance has led to the postulation of a 'total cancer therapy' paradigm, which involves targeting both cancer cells and CSCs for effective therapy. However

Resistance to chemotherapy is a major clinical challenge in the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Here, we provide evidence that Rho associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2 (ROCK2) maintains gemcitabine resistance in gemcitabine resistant pancreatic cancer cells (GR cells).
