Safe Polymeric Nucleic Acid Delivery Systems for Cancer Therapy: Focus on Breast Cancer and Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
DownloadFall 2021
Meenakshi Sundaram, Daniel Nisakar
RNA interference (RNAi) is a promising technology to specifically target the upregulated genes that provide uncontrolled proliferation and survival of cancers. The target specific silencing is accomplished by the delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA), which require safe delivery systems to...

Protein kinases are critical players in cell signaling processes and their activity leads to the phosphorylation of substrates, often regulating enzymatic activity. 518 protein kinases are encoded in the human genome, however, there are many features within the catalytic domain of these proteins...

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Radiolabelled Substrates for Imaging of GLUT5 Expression in Human Breast Cancer Using Positron Emission Tomography
DownloadFall 2012
Overactive glucose transport and metabolism has been widely recognized as one of the fundamental hallmarks of cancer and its progression. The facilitative glucose transporter GLUT1 is widely overexpressed in many tumor types compared to their untransformed counterparts. Due to this, the glucose...

Breast cancer is the leading cause of death among women worldwide. Fortunately, death rates have been declining since 1990, due to the increase in early detection, testing, and improved treatment. However, despite the advancement of targeted and hormone therapies for certain molecular sub-types...

The Regulation of p53 by E3 ligases MDM2 and CHIP in Breast Cancer: Analysis of the Role of Hsp70 and Hsp90
DownloadSpring 2016
Tumor suppressor p53 is commonly mutated in breast cancer. Mutant p53 protein is highly stable and oncogenic. This study aims to understand the underlying mechanism of the regulation and stabilization of mutant p53 protein particularly folded mutant p53 R280K. The data showed a possible...

The role of Receptor Interacting Serine/Threonine Kinase 2 (RIPK2) in inflammatory breast cancer (IBC)
DownloadFall 2022
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare but aggressive type of breast cancer characterized by early and rapid metastasis leading to poor clinical outcomes. The tumor microenvironment (TME), including immune cells, fibroblasts and endothelial cells, has emerged as a major regulator of IBC...

Smallpox was eradicated using vaccinia viruses (VACV) as vaccines, including Dryvax, a calf-lymph vaccine derived from the New York City Board of Health (NYCBH) strain, and TianTan, a chicken egg cultured vaccine used exclusively in China. To take advantage of the next generation sequencing...

Vaccinia virus DNA polymerase and ribonucleotide reductase: their role in replication, recombination and drug resistance
DownloadSpring 2010
Despite the eradication of smallpox, poxviruses continue to cause human disease around the world. At the core of poxvirus replication is the efficient and accurate synthesis and repair of the viral genome. The viral DNA polymerase is critical for these processes. Acyclic nucleoside phosphonate...

Poxviruses encode many genes that are orthologs of cellular genes. These orthologs serve many functions, but those that are of most interest are ones that have evolved further and now serve an immune-evasion function. Such genes were likely first acquired by poxviruses through some form of...
