Post-Translational Modifications of Proteins Orchestrate All Hallmarks of Cancer by Pathea Shawnae Bruno, Aneeta Arshad, Maria-Raluca Gogu, Natalie Waterman, Rylie Flack, Kimberly Dunn, Costel C. Darie, Anca-Narcisa Neagu

“…Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins dynamically build the buffering and adapting interface between oncogenic mutations and environmental stressors, on the one hand, and cancer cell structure, functioning, and behavior. Aberrant PTMs can be considered as enabling characteristics of cancer as long as they orchestrate all malignant modifications and variability in the proteome of cancer cells, cancer-associated cells, and tumor microenvironment (TME). …”

Alkyl polyglucoside vs. ethoxylated surfactant-based microemulsions as vehicles for two poorly water-soluble drugs: physicochemical characterization and in vivo skin performance by Pajić Nataša Z. Bubić, Todosijević Marija N., Vuleta Gordana M., Cekić Nebojša D., Dobričić Vladimir D., Vučen Sonja R., Čalija Bojan R., Lukić Milica Ž., Ilić Tanja M., Savić Snežana D.

“…Two types of biocompatible surfactants were evaluated for their capability to formulate skin-friendly/non-irritant microemulsions as vehicles for two poorly water-soluble model drugs differing in properties and concentrations: alkyl polyglucosides (decyl glucoside and caprylyl/capryl glucoside) and ethoxylated surfactants (glycereth-7-caprylate/ caprate and polysorbate 80). Phase behavior, structural inversion and microemulsion solubilization potential for sertaconazole nitrate and adapalene were found to be highly dependent on the surfactants structure and HLB value. …”
