To investigate the effect of different halogen substituents and leaving groups and the flexibility of ligands on the anticancer activity of copper complexes, sixteen copper(ii) complexes with eight different tridentate Schiff-base ligands containing pyridi ...

Compared to estrogen receptor-negative (ER-) breast cancer (BC), ER+ BC often manifests with a latent disease that recurs decades after initial diagnosis. The mechanisms governing dormancy and distant recurrence of ER+ tumors remain elusive due to the lack ...

In the context of adoptive T cell transfer (ACT) for cancer treatment, it is crucial to generate in vitro large amounts of tumor-specific CD8 T cells with high potential to persist in vivo. PD-1, Tim3, and CD39 have been proposed as markers of tumor-specif ...

Efforts to precisely identify tumor human leukocyte antigen (HLA) bound peptides capable of mediating T cell-based tumor rejection still face important challenges. Recent studies suggest that non-canonical tumor-specific HLA peptides derived from annotated ...

Four bipyridine-type ligands variably derivatized with two bioactive groups (taken from ethacrynic acid, flurbiprofen, biotin, and benzylpenicillin) were prepared via sequential esterification steps from commercial 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid an ...

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry is an important analytical tool in chemistry and biology. Bearing the advantages of easy-to-use, fast measurements and relatively simple data interpretation, MALDI-T ...

Cell-to-cell variability plays a key role in tissue patterning by setting initial asymmetry that primes cell fate decisions. Fluctuations in the activity of regulatory molecules can commit individual cells to divergent differentiation pathways, and cell-to ...

We present cryogenic infrared spectra of sodiated beta-cyclodextrin beta-CD + Na, a common cyclic oligosaccharide, and its main dissociation products upon collision-induced dissociation (CID). We characterize the parent ions using high-resolution ion ...

Two-step functionalization of 4-diphenylphosphino benzoic acid with biotin afforded 2-(biotinyloxy)ethyl 4-(diphenylphosphanyl)benzoate (LP), that was subsequently used to synthesize the Ru(II) arene complexes [RuCl2(eta(6)-p-cymene)(LP)] (1), [Ru(C2O4)(et ...

The thermo-catalytic synthesis of hydrocarbons from CO2 and H2 is of great interest for the conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals and fuels. In this work, we aim to contribute to the fundamental understanding of the effect of alloying on the reaction y ...

The synthesis of five half sandwich ruthenium(II) trichlorogermyl complexes of the type [(η6-Arene)Ru(PR3)Cl(GeCl3)] (PR3 = Phosphane and phosphite ligands; Arene = p-cymene or C6H5-OC2H4OH) is reported: [(η6-p-cymene)Ru(P(OMe)3)Cl(GeCl3)] (1), [(η6-p-cyme ...

Neutral piano-stool complexes of the general formula [(eta(5)-C5Me5)Rh(L-OR)] (R = Me, 1; R = Et, 2; R = Pe(i), 3) have been prepared in alcohols (methanol, 1; ethanol, 2; isopropanol, 3) from the Schiff-base 5-methyl-4-{(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)amino}-4H-1, ...

An organometallic ruthenium(II) arene compound, Ru((6)-toluene)(PTA)Cl-2 (PTA=1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane), termed RAPTA-T, exerts promising antimetastatic properties. In this study, the effects of RAPTA-T on BRCA1-defective HCC1937 breast cancer cell ...

Malva pseudolavatera Webb & Berthel. is a plant from the Malvaceae family that has long been included in the human diet due to its various curative effects. Many plant leaf extracts from the various species of Malva genus have been reported to possess anti ...

Estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) signaling tightly interact in controlling postnatal breast development and impinge on breast carcinogenesis. PR is a direct transcriptional target of ER signaling and ER and PR bind closely to DNA and i ...

Metastatic melanoma is hallmarked by its ability of phenotype switching to more slowly proliferating, but highly invasive cells. Here, we tested the impact of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) on melanoma progression in association ...

Liquid biopsies allow monitoring of cancer progression and detection of relapse, but reliable biomarkers in melanoma are lacking. Because secreted factors preferentially drain to lymphatic vessels before dilution in the blood, we hypothesized that lymph sh ...

We study the photodissociation induced by ultraviolet excitation of amide bonds in gas-phase protonated peptides. Jointly, mass spectrometry and cold ion spectroscopy provide evidence for a selective non-statistical dissociation of specific peptide bonds i ...

A series of neutral ruthenium(II)-arene complexes, [(arene) Ru(Q(R))Cl] (arene = p-cymene or hexamethylbenzene), containing 4-acyl-5-pyrazolonate (Q(R)) ligands with aromatic substituents in the acyl moiety (a phenyl in Q(Ph) and a 1-naphthyl in Q(naph)) a ...
