Cancer chemotherapy and beyond: Current status, drug candidates, associated risks and progress in targeted therapeutics

Uttpal Anand, Abhijit Dey, Arvind K. Singh Chandel et al. · 18 Mar 2022

Cancer is an abnormal state of cells where they undergo uncontrolled proliferation and produce aggressive malignancies that causes millions of deaths every year. With the new understanding of the molecular mechanism(s) of disease progression, our knowledge about the disease is snowballing, leading to the evolution of many new therapeutic regimes and their successive trials. In…

Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling in development and human diseases

Richard N. Wang, Jordan J. Green, Zhongliang Wang et al. · 27 Jul 2014

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) are a group of signaling molecules that belongs to the Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily of proteins. Initially discovered for their ability to induce bone formation, BMPs are now known to play crucial roles in all organ systems. BMPs are important in embryogenesis and development, and also in maintenance of adult…

3-D bioprinting technologies in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine: Current and future trends

Elliot S. Bishop, Sami Mostafa, Mikhail Pakvasa et al. · 23 Nov 2017

Advances in three-dimensional (3D) printing have increased feasibility towards the synthesis of living tissues. Known as 3D bioprinting, this technology involves the precise layering of cells, biologic scaffolds, and growth factors with the goal of creating bioidentical tissue for a variety of uses. Early successes have demonstrated distinct advantages over conventional tissue engineering strategies. Not…
