DNA polymerase delta 1 catalytic subunit (POLD1 or POLD1/p125) plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis and proofreading during the semiconservative genome replication. Mutations of POLD1 are associated with abnormal cell division in various human tumors. However, the significance of altered POLD1 expression in malignant diseases and its usefulness as...

Ethyl β-carboline-3-carboxylate (β-CCE) is one of the effective ingredients of Picrasma quassioides (P. quassioides). As a β-carboline alkaloid, it can antagonize the pharmacological effects of benzodiazepines by regulating neurotransmitter secretion through receptors, thus affecting anxiety and physiology. However, its efficacy in cancer treatment...

Sorafenib has been reported to show anti-osteosarcoma (anti-OS) efficacy by inhibiting metastasis; however, a phase II trial suggested that further combination with other agents could be necessary to achieve permanent remission. Herein, we aimed to identify whether amentoflavone, an abundant natural bioflavonoid found in many medicinal plants, can ...

Chemotherapy offers a clear benefit in terms of survival rates of stage IV metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, but this advantage might be mitigated by the theoretical risks of short- and mid-term complications in the cases of contextual self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) positioning, which might also affect survival rates. We reviewed all...
