    Sajid Ali*, Yong-Sun Moon*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.94, No.5, pp. 1419-1451, 2025, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2025.064284 - 29 May 2025

    Abstract This review focused on the role of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in enhancing plant growth and protecting against pathogens, highlighting their mechanisms of action, ecological benefits, and challenges. PGPR mediate plant growth through several mechanisms, including nutrient acquisition, production of antimicrobial compounds and induction of systemic resistance. These mechanisms are critical in improving crop yields, especially under stressful conditions. This review examines the molecular mechanisms of PGPR-mediated plant pathogen control, cellular mechanisms of PGPR in plant pathogen control, ecological and environmental benefits of PGPR application. Despite their potential, PGPR application is limited by environmental variability,… More >

    Abstract Objectives: Apatinib has been reported to be a promising treatment for sorafenib-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. However, the underlying mechanism remains ambiguous. The study aimed to explore the efficacy of apatinib in sorafenib-resistant HCC and the underlying mechanism both in vitro and in vivo. Methods: After observing epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) changes in HepG2 and HepG2/Sorafenib cells, we treated them with varying concentrations of apatinib to assess its impact on sorafenib-resistant HCC. Subsequently, specific inhibitors of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK, SP600125) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK, PD98059) were introduced to investigate whether apatinib influenced sorafenib-resistant HCC via modulation… More >

    YU HONG1,#, YUNXIANG TANG1,#, WENYAN ZHOU1, HANYUE LUO2, LINLIN BU2, HUI QIU3,*, QIUJI WU3,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.33, No.6, pp. 1347-1361, 2025, DOI:10.32604/or.2025.059327 - 29 May 2025

    Abstract As a rising immune checkpoint on tumor cells, CD24 is closely related to tumorigenesis and progression. CD24 can directly regulate the malignant behavior of tumor cells and indirectly inhibit the function of immune cells in the meantime, which promotes the immune escape of tumor cells, induces cancer invasion and causes poor prognosis. The basic principle of cancer treatment is to induce cell death and inhibit cell survival. Resistance to chemoradiotherapy is a critical challenge in oncology, which limits the effectiveness of anti-cancer treatments. Many studies have shown a strong association between CD24 and chemoradiotherapy More >

    Promising roles of vitamin D receptor and APRO family proteins for the development of cancer stem cells targeted malignant tumor therapy

    MOEKA NAKASHIMA, NAOKO SUGA, AKARI FUKUMOTO, SAYURI YOSHIKAWA, SATORU MATSUDA*

    Oncology Research, Vol.33, No.5, pp. 1007-1017, 2025, DOI:10.32604/or.2025.059657 - 18 April 2025

    Abstract Malignant tumors are heterogeneous diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and/or recurrence of their malignancies. In particular, cancer stem cells (CSCs) within these tumors might be responsible for the property of invasiveness and/or therapies-resistance. CSCs are a self-renewing, awfully tumorigenic subpopulation of cancer cells, which are notorious for strong chemoresistance and are frequently responsible the aggravated invasion, metastasis, and/or recurrence. Developing targeting therapies against CSCs, therefore, may be deliberated a more encouraging mission for the greater cancer therapy. Innovation for a more potent anti-CSC treatment has been required as soon as possible.… More > Graphic Abstract

    Non-coding RNAs as potential mediators of resistance to lung cancer immunotherapy and chemotherapy

    JIAHUI WANG1,#, HONGCHENG GE2,3,#, ZHENGYUAN YU1,*, LINGZHI WU1,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.33, No.5, pp. 1033-1054, 2025, DOI:10.32604/or.2024.058256 - 18 April 2025

    Abstract Lung cancer is a common cause of cancer-related death globally. The majority of lung cancer patients initially benefit from chemotherapy and immunotherapy. However, as the treatment cycle progresses and the disease evolves, the emergence of acquired resistance leads to treatment failure. Many researches have shown that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) not only influence lung cancer progression but also act as potential mediators of immunotherapy and chemotherapy resistance in lung cancer, mediating drug resistance by regulating multiple targets and pathways. In addition, the regulation of immune response by ncRNAs is dualistic, forming a microenvironment for inhibits/promotes More >

    Journal of Polymer Materials, Vol.42, No.1, pp. 221-236, 2025, DOI:10.32604/jpm.2025.058587 - 27 March 2025

    Abstract Acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) is the main material used in fused deposition modeling (FDM), which has good toughness and strength, but the single ABS material has poor heat resistance, which tends to cause warping and deformation during the printing process. Polycarbonate (PC) exhibits good performance in heat resistance, allowing it to maintain stable performance at higher temperatures. In this work, PC was used as a blending modifier to prepare five kinds of ABS/PC composite filaments, and the mechanical and thermal properties of the ABS/PC (Acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene/Polycarbonate) composite filaments were studied and analyzed. Results showed that the glass transition… More >
