Cytokine-chemokine network driven metastasis in esophageal cancer; promising avenue for targeted therapy
(
BMC
, 2021 , Article Review)
Esophageal cancer (EC) is a disease often marked by aggressive growth and poor prognosis. Lack of targeted therapies, resistance to chemoradiation therapy, and distant metastases among patients with advanced disease account ...
Role of NAD+ in regulating cellular and metabolic signaling pathways
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article Review)
BackgroundNicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a critical coenzyme present in every living cell, is involved in a myriad of metabolic processes associated with cellular bioenergetics. For this reason, NAD+ is often ...
miRNAs as novel immunoregulators in cancer
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article Review)
The immune system is a well-known vital regulator of tumor growth, and one of the main hallmarks of cancer is evading the immune system. Immune system deregulation can lead to immune surveillance evasion, sustained cancer ...
