OBJECTIVE
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a major class of small endogenous RNA molecules that posttranscriptionally regulate the expression of most genes in the human genome. miRNAs are often located in chromosomal fragile sites, which are suscept-ible to amplification or deletion. Chromosomal deletions are
Although there is data suggesting the in vitro inhibition of aromatase in cell lines by antidiabetic biguanide metformin (MF), there is no data on the intratumoral breast cancer (BC) aromatase expression in patients already receiving therapy for type II diabetes. Paraffinized tumor samples obtained
The development of optimized therapy strategies against malignant tumors is critically dependent on the assessment of tissue-based biomarkers in routine diagnostic tissue samples. We investigated a novel, fully automated, and xylene-free method for RNA isolation and biomarker determination using
OBJECTIVE
Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent tumour in women, representing 20-30% of all malignancies, and continues to be the leading cause of cancer deaths among European women. Triple-negative (TN) BC biological aggressiveness is associated with a higher dissemination rate, with central
Azolium (imidazolium and benzimidazolium) salts are known as stable precursors for the synthesis of Metal-N-Heterocyclic Carbene (M-NHC) complexes. Recently, some reports have been compiled indicating that benzimidazolium salts have anticarcinogenic properties. The current research is the further
The recent development of the recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody against HER-2 oncoprotein requires a simple and accurate method for the evaluation of HER-2 status in patients with breast cancers. We here report that the evaluation of the HER-2 status is improved by the use of the
BACKGROUND
There is an increasing need for the identification of both DNA and RNA biomarkers from pathodiagnostic formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples for the exploration of individualized therapy strategies in cancer. We investigated a fully automated, xylene-free nucleic acid
OBJECTIVE
Tamoxifen is a key therapeutic option for breast cancer treatment. Understanding its complex metabolism and pharmacokinetics is important for dose optimization. We examined the possibility of utilizing archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue as an alternative sample source
The widespread use of synthetic musk fragrances and the resultant presence of these substances and their metabolites in the aquatic environment (as well as their accumulation in human adipose tissue) raises the question of whether musk fragrances display endocrine and in particular estrogenic
