A Theoretical Study on the Efficacy and Mechanism of Combined YAP-1 and PARP-1 Inhibitors in the Treatment of Glioblastoma Multiforme Using Peruvian Maca <i>Lepidium meyenii</i> by Albert Gabriel Turpo-Peqqueña, Sebastian Luna-Prado, Renato Javier Valencia-Arce, Fabio Leonardo Del-Carpio-Carrazco, Badhin Gómez

“…Current therapeutic strategies, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, often fail due to the tumor’s ability to develop resistance. The proteins YAP-1 (Yes-associated protein 1) and PARP-1 (Poly-(ADP-ribose)–polymerase-1) have been implicated in this resistance, playing crucial roles in cell proliferation and DNA repair mechanisms, respectively. …”

Humoral Hypercalcemia of Malignancy with a Parathyroid Hormone-Related Peptide-Secreting Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Accompanied by a Gastric Cancer by Katsushi Takeda, Ryosuke Kimura, Nobuhiro Nishigaki, Shinya Sato, Asami Okamoto, Kumiko Watanabe, Sachie Yasui

“…Humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM) is caused by the oversecretion of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) from malignant tumors. Although any tumor may cause HHM, that induced by intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) or gastric cancer (GC) is rare. …”

Examining the etiology and pregnancy outcomes of 152 critically ill pregnant patients in the Intensive Care Unit by Weiman Liu, Junyou Su, Sumei Wang

“…Results The results showed that the main obstetric factors leading to ICU admission were pregnancy-related hypertensive disease, postpartum hemorrhage, and acute fatty liver of pregnancy; the non-obstetric factors included either pregnancy complicated by heart disease, sepsis, or malignant tumors. The maternal mortality rate was higher in the non-obstetric direct factor group than in the obstetric direct factor group (22.12% vs. 6.25%, p = 0.016). …”

The Development of Methods of BLOTCHIP^®-MS for Peptidome: Small Samples in Tuberous Sclerosis by Kunio Yui, George Imataka, Kotaro Yuge, Hitomi Sasaki, Tadashi Shiohama, Kyoichi Asada, Hidehisa Tachiki

“…Mutations in the TSC1 and TSC2 genes result in the constitutive hyperactivation of the mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, contributing to the growth of benign tumors or hamartomas in various organs. TSC2 mutations were associated with a more severe phenotypic spectrum than TSC1 mutations because of the inhibition of the mTOR cascade. …”

Pooled screening for CAR function identifies novel IL-13Rα2-targeted CARs for treatment of glioblastoma by Douglas A Lauffenburger, Khloe S Gordon, Caleb R Perez, Andrea Garmilla, Maxine S Y Lam, Joey J Y Aw, Anisha Datta, Andrea Pavesi, Michael E Birnbaum

“…Background Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapies have demonstrated potent efficacy in treating B-cell malignancies, but have yet to meaningfully translate to solid tumors. Nonetheless, they are of particular interest for the treatment of glioblastoma, which is an aggressive form of brain cancer with few effective therapeutic options, due to their ability to cross the highly selective blood-brain barrier.Methods Here, we use our pooled screening platform, CARPOOL, to expedite the discovery of CARs with antitumor functions necessary for solid tumor efficacy. …”
