Evidence for involvement of NK3 receptors in the anxiogenic-like effect of SP6-11(C-terminal), a metabolite of substance P, in rats evaluated in the elevated plus-maze

De Lima IntroductionSubstance P (SP) is a neuropeptide widely expressed throughout the fear-processing pathways of the brain. SP is cleaved by several proteolytic enzymes in amino (N-) and carboxy (C-) terminal sequences, which can have biological activities per se. We have previously shown that the anxiogenic-like effects elicited by SP6-11(C-terminal), a specific metaboli... περισσότερα »

[image: http:--www.nature.com-images-lo_bjc.gif] Authors: Wilkins A, Furness A, Corbett RW, Bloomfield A, Porta N, Morris S, Ali Z, Larkin J, Harrington K Abstract BACKGROUND: The melanoma-specific graded prognostic assessment (msGPA) assigns patients with brain metastases from malignant melanoma to 1 of 4 prognostic groups. It was largely derived using clinical data from patients treated in the era that preceded the development of newer therapies such as BRAF, MEK and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Therefore, its current relevance to patients diagnosed with brain metastases from m... περισσότερα »
Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma of the head and face
Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma of the head and face: AbstractUltraviolet light (UV) is an important risk factor for cutaneous basal cell carcinoma, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and cutaneous melanoma of the skin. These cancers most commonly affect persons with fair skin and blue eyes who sunburn rather than suntan. However, each of these cancers appears to be associated with a different pattern of UV exposure and to be mediated by different intracellular molecular pathways. Some melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene variants play a direct role in the ...περισσότερα »
Therapeutic advances for the tumors associated with neurofibromatosis type 1, type 2, and schwannomatosis
Therapeutic advances for the tumors associated with neurofibromatosis type 1, type 2, and schwannomatosis: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), and schwannomatosis (SWN) are tumor-suppressor syndromes. Each syndrome is an orphan disease; however, the tumors that arise within them represent the most common tumors of the nervous system worldwide. Systematic investigation of the pathways impacted by the loss of function of neurofibromin (encoded by *NF1*) and merlin (encoded by *NF2*) have led to therapeutic advances for patients with NF1 and NF2.

Dissecting Therapeutic Resistance to ERK Inhibition
Dissecting Therapeutic Resistance to ERK Inhibition: The MAPK pathway is frequently activated in many human cancers, particularly melanomas. A single nucleotide mutation in BRAF resulting in the substitution of glutamic acid for valine (V600E) causes constitutive activation of the downstream MAPK pathway. Selective BRAF and MEK inhibitor therapies have demonstrated remarkable anti-tumor responses in BRAFV600E mutant melanoma patients. However, initial tumor shrinkage is transient and the vast majority of patients develop resistance. We previously reported that SCH772984, an ERK 1/2... περισσότερα »
Enhancing the tumor selectivity of a picornavirus virotherapy promotes tumor regression and the accumulation of infiltrating CD8+ T-cells
Enhancing the tumor selectivity of a picornavirus virotherapy promotes tumor regression and the accumulation of infiltrating CD8+ T-cells: Picornaviruses have emerged as promising cancer therapies due to their ability to drive cytotoxic cellular immune responses and for promoting oncolysis. These properties include preferential replication in tumor cells, the induction of strong innate and adaptive immune responses and the ease with which their genomes can be manipulated. We have developed Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) as an immunotherapy vector that promotes stro... περισσότερα »

A novel ATM-dependent checkpoint defect distinct from loss of function mutation promotes genomic instability in melanoma
A novel ATM-dependent checkpoint defect distinct from loss of function mutation promotes genomic instability in melanoma: [image: cover.gif?v=1&s=f3d98c753a39c60ab03ce3a3] Abstract Melanomas have high levels of genomic instability that can contribute to poor disease prognosis. Here, we report a novel defect of the ATM-dependent cell cycle checkpoint in melanoma cell lines that promotes genomic instability. In defective cells, ATM signalling to CHK2 is intact, but the cells are unable to maintain the cell cycle arrest due to elevated PLK1 driving recovery from the arrest. Reducin... περισσότερα »
Treatment of elderly patients with melanoma
Treatment of elderly patients with melanoma: AbstractTreatment options for melanoma patients, both young and old, were extremely limited until recently. Elderly patients faced a particular challenge due to less aggressive surgical management, poor tolerance of available therapies, aggressive biologic behaviors, and rapid tumor progression. Over the past several years, however, a number of remarkably active immune and targeted agents have been developed. These agents are generally well tolerated and present numerous effective therapeutic options for elderly patients with advanced me...περισσότερα »

Localization of the Sentinel Lymph Node in Melanoma Without Blue Dye: [image: image] Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess regional recurrence rates of patients who underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) using radiocolloid guidance alone. Background: Isosulfan blue dye is commonly used along with Tc99-labeled radiocolloid localization in SLNB for melanoma. Blue dye has, however, been associated with allergic reactions, long-term staining of skin, and increased cost. We hypothesized that the rate of regional recurrence when SLNB is performed with radiocolloid alone ... περισσότερα »

Margin to tumor thickness ratio – A predictor of local recurrence and survival in oral squamous cell carcinoma: Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Satisfactory oncologic resections require negative and adequate resection margins. A microscopic margin of 5mm has traditionally been accepted as adequate for various oral cavity sub-sites [1,2]. This definition, however, of adequate surgical resection remains controversial as some authors propose 2mm to be sufficient [3] while others advocate for more than 7mm [4]. Ch’ng et al.

Faisal, Giovanni Montana, Robert Leech Functional neuroimaging typically explores how a particular task activates a set of brain regions. Importantly though, the same neural system can be activated by inherently different tasks. To date, there is no approach available that systematically explores whether and how distinct tasks probe the same neural system. Here, we propose and validate an alternative ... περισσότερα »

In terms of a large-scale brain network, in this paper, we focus on time-varying patterns of functional networks, i.e., functional dynamics, inherent in rs-fMRI, which is one of th... περισσότερα »
Cytotoxic effects of SMAC-mimetic compound LCL161 in head and neck cancer cell lines

Cytotoxic effects of SMAC-mimetic compound LCL161 in head and neck cancer cell lines: Abstract ObjectivesHead and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common tumor entities worldwide. Unfortunately, recent drug developments in other fields of oncology have yielded no efficacy in the treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma. As a new starting point, we investigated the impact of Fas ligand (FasL) and the SMAC-mimetic compound LCL161 in mono- and combination treatment in HNSCC cell lines.

Integration of Intention and Outcome for Moral Judgment in Frontotemporal Dementia: Brain Structural Signatures
Background: Moral judgment has been proposed to rely on a distributed brain network.

However, no studies have investigated moral judgment in bvFTD via structural neuroimaging. Methods: We compared the performance of 21 bvFTD patients and… Continue reading Integration of Intention and Outcome for Moral Judgment in Frontotemporal Dementia: Brain Structural Signatures

Oral Palmitoylethanolamide Treatment Is Associated with Reduced Cutaneous Adverse Effects of Interferon-β1a and Circulating Proinflammatory Cytokines in Relapsing–Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
Abstract Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an endogenous lipid mediator known to reduce pain and inflammation. However, only limited clinical studies have evaluated the effects of PEA in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune and inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. Although subcutaneous administration of interferon (IFN)-β1a is approved as first-line therapy for the treatment of relapsing–remitting MS (RR-MS), its commonly reported adverse events (AEs) such as pain, myalgia, and erythema at the injection site, ...περισσότερα »
