Growing evidence points to the effectiveness of flywheel (FW) based iso-inertial resistance training in improving physical performance capacities. However, molecular adaptations induced by FW exercises are largely unknown. Eight resistance-trained men performed 5 sets 10 maximal squats on a device. Muscle biopsies (fine needle aspiration technique) and blood samples were collected before (t0), 2h (t1) after exercise. Blood additionally drawn 24h (t2) 48h (t3). Paired t-tests revealed...

Background: Prognosis of patients affected by metastatic esophageal–gastric junction (EGJ) or gastric cancer (GC) remains dismal. Trastuzumab, an anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody, is the only targeted agent approved for first-line treatment with HER2-overexpressing advanced EGJ GC in combination chemotherapy. However, invariably become resistant during this treatment. We recently identified overexpression fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor 3 (FGFR3) as a molecular mechanism responsible...

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is synthesised as a prohormone (proIGF-1) requiring enzymatic activity to yield the mature IGF-1. Three proIGF-1s are encoded by alternatively spliced IGF-1 mRNAs: proIGF-1Ea, proIGF-1Eb and proIGF-1Ec. These have common sequence but different E-domains. The structure of E-domains has not been resolved, their molecular functions still unclear. Here, we show that Intrinsically Disordered Regions distinct regulatory on production. In particular, identified...

<h3>Background</h3> Retrospective clinical data on melanoma and non-small cell lung cancers have shown that patients taking statins before the onset of checkpoint inhibitors (CPI), a better progression free survival (PFS) overall (OS). Starting from this evidence, we investigated efficacy biologic mechanisms simvastatin plus anti-PD1 in melanoma-baring mice. <h3>Methods</h3> We analyzed PFS OS our cohort metastatic performed vivo experiments to compare effect simvastatin, or combination...

Abstract The TGFβ receptor inhibitor galunisertib (GAL) has been demonstrated as an effective strategy for the treatment of pancreatic cancer (PC) patients, in part through modulation stromal microenvironment. However, alternative pathways driving paracrine signals might impair its effect. Autotaxin (ATX) is enzyme that converts lysophosphatidylcholine into bioactive lipid, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), which turn promotes inflammation and fibrosis, contributes to resistance. IOA-289 a novel...
