HISTONE DEACETYLASE INHIBITORS POTENTIATE PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY IN COLON CANCER CELLS MARKED BY CHROMATIN-MEDIATED EPIGENETIC REGULATION OF CDKN1A

Histone deacetylase inhibitors potentiate photodynamic therapy in colon cancer cells marked by chromatin-mediated epigenetic regulation of CDKN1A

Abstract Background Hypericin-mediated photodynamic therapy (HY-PDT) has recently captured increased attention as an alternative minimally invasive anticancer treatment, although cancer cells may acquire resistance.Therefore, combination treatments may be necessary to enhance HY-PDT efficacy.Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) are often used in

Neonicotinoids can cause arrested pupal ecdysis in Lepidoptera

Abstract Recently, we reported a novel mode of action in monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) larvae exposed to neonicotinoid insecticides: arrest in pupal ecdysis following successful larval ecdysis.In this paper, we explore arrested pupal ecdysis in greater detail and propose adverse outcome pathways to explain how neonicotinoids cause this effec

Use of patellofemoral digital twins for patellar tracking and treatment prediction: comparison of 3D models and contact detection algorithms

Introduction: Poor patellar tracking can result in painful contact pressures, patella subluxation, or dislocation.The use of musculoskeletal models and simulations in orthopedic surgeries allows for objective predictions of post-treatment function, empowering clinicians to explore diverse treatment options for patients.Although a promising approach
