Development and Validation of a Novel UHPLC-MS/MS Method for the Quantification of Plinabulin in Plasma and Its Application in a Pharmacokinetic Study with Leukopenic Rats

101 views | Dec 25 2023

This study on plinabulin's pharmacokinetics in rats suggests no significant differences between leukopenia and control groups, indicating its potential as a candidate for treating chemotherapy-induced leukopenia pending further human clinical trials. [Read the Full Post]

Hypoxia-induced YAP activation and focal adhesion turnover to promote cell migration in mesenchymal TNBC cells

188 views | Mar 08 2023

The study suggests that hypoxia-induced YAP activation is positively associated with mesenchymal TNBC cell migration and may be a novel factor responsible for promoting the aggressive behavior of TNBC cells under hypoxic conditions. [Read the Full Post]

Nanodroplet-enhanced sonodynamic therapy potentiates immune checkpoint blockade for systemic suppression of triple-negative breast cancer

208 views | Feb 25 2023

The combination of STING activation, hypoxia relief, and sonodynamic therapy with anti-PD-L1 therapy using an O2-filled nanodroplet shows strong efficacy in suppressing triple-negative breast cancer growth and improving therapeutic outcome by promoting mature DCs, inducing immunogenic cell death, and enhancing tumor infiltration of CTLs.
