Antioxidant activity of Micractinium sp. (Chlorophyta) extracts against H2O2 induced oxidative stress in human breast adenocarcinoma cells by Onur Bulut, Işkın Engin Köse, Çağla Sönmez, Hüseyin Avni Öktem

“…Moreover, extracts from Micractinium sp. exhibited remarkable cytoprotective activity by effectively inhibiting hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress and cell death in human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cells. In conclusion, with its diverse biochemical composition and adaptability to different growth regimens, Micractinium sp. emerges as a robust candidate for mass cultivation in nutraceutical and food applications.…”

MT-100, a human Tie2-agonistic antibody, improves penile neurovasculature in diabetic mice via the novel target Srpx2 by Fang-Yuan Liu, Young-Lai Cho, Fitri Rahma Fridayana, Lashkari Niloofar, Minh Nhat Vo, Yan Huang, Anita Limanjaya, Mi-Hye Kwon, Jiyeon Ock, Seon-Jin Lee, Guo Nan Yin, Nam-Kyung Lee, Ji-Kan Ryu

“…Therefore, strategies for activating the Tie2 signaling pathway have been developed as potential therapies for neurovascular diseases. Here, we developed a human Tie2-agonistic antibody (MT-100) that not only resists Ang-2 antagonism and activates Tie2 signaling but also regulates a novel target, sushi repeat-containing protein X-linked 2 (Srpx2). …”
