abstract：:Angiogenesis inhibitors belong to a new class of drugs. Many of these drugs are in clinical trials to treat cancer, while others have recently received FDA approval. However, angiogenesis inhibitors operate by different mechanisms than conventional cytotoxic chemotherapies, and require different guidelines for their o...

abstract：:Radiotherapy is a widely used local and regional modality for the treatment of cancer. Despite improved methods of radiation delivery, local recurrence accounts for treatment failure in most patients. Radiosensitizers have been studied as one approach for improving the effectiveness of radiotherapy. Few agents, howeve...

Traditionally, this task has exclusively been undertaken by large pharmaceutical companies that recovered their high research and development costs by selling expensive medications. Despite the huge amount of time and effort devoted towards drug discovery over the last de...

abstract：:Telomerase is the ribonucleoprotein that enables cancer and stem cells to maintain their telomeres, resulting in unlimited proliferative potential. The catalytic component of telomerase in humans, hTERT, is upregulated in nearly 90% of all cancers, making it the most widely expressed marker of malignancy. With the exc...

abstract：:Mutationally activated and oncogenic versions of the ras genes were first identified in human tumors in 1982. This discovery prompted great interest in the development of anti-Ras strategies as novel, target-based approaches for cancer treatment. The three human ras genes represent the most frequently mutated oncogene...

A recently study has reported that PTX mediates apoptosis by upregulating FasL in Jurkat and MDA-231 cells. In contrast to the previous report, we found that anti-FasL antibodies failed to inhibit PTX-i...
