We found that topography and morphological features of the substrate are the properties that mainly drives astrocytes adhesion and survival, over the long term, while they do not alter the cell function. Specifically, aligned PCL fibres induced in astrocytes a dramatic actin-cytoskeletal rearrangement as well as focal adhesion point number and…[Read more]

Long non-coding RNAs such as C058791.1, TTTY15 and TPTEP1 were predicted to be efficient in regulating the disease mechanisms. Drugs-F-1566-0341, Digoxin, Proscillaridin and Linifanib that reverse the gene expression signatures were predicted from drug perturbations analysis. The binding efficiency and interaction of proscillaridin and digoxin as…[Read more]

Metabolic reprogramming is a common hallmark of cancer, but a large variability in tumor bioenergetics exists between patients. Using high-resolution respirometry on fresh biopsies of human lung adenocarcinoma, we identified 2 subgroups reflected in the histologically normal, paired, cancer-adjacent tissue high (OX+) mitochondrial respiration and…[Read more]

PIs related to drug-drug interactions (10%) mainly had a moderate and major clinical impact (82.3%, p<0.0001).

Clinical pharmacists play a key role for detecting drug-related problems mostly leading to a change in therapeutic management among LT outpatients. Our study provides a new insight to analyse the clinical impact of PIs in order to…[Read more]

The analysis of plasma circulating tumour nucleic acids provides a non-invasive approach to assess disease burden and the genetic evolution of tumours in response to therapy. BRAF splicing variants are known to confer melanoma resistance to BRAF inhibitors. We developed a test to screen cell-free RNA (cfRNA) for the presence of BRAF splicing…[Read more]

Ring conformations of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran (34DHP) have attracted considerable interest owing to their structural similarity to cyclohexene, an important molecule in stereochemistry. In this study, we investigated the conformational interconversion of 34DHP in both the neutral (S0) and the cationic (D0) ground states. High-resolution vacuum…[Read more]

Analogs of dirchromone were prepared to shed light on the pivotal role of its peculiar vinylsulfoxide side chain towards its cytotoxic and antimicrobial properties, especially dependant upon the presence and oxidation state of sulfur. The reaction of dirchromone with cysteamine revealed a surprising Michael acceptor behavior with elimination of…[Read more]
