There is a strong correlation between obesity and cancer associated with increasing obesity epidemic has led to a increase in the number of new cases. Obesity commonly carries a dysregulated production of adipokines, bioactive proteins secreted primarily by adipocytes, which induces its biological effects by binding to cognate receptors. Classically, the main role of adipokines is to assi…
New therapeutic approaches are actively searched for cancer treatment because of the side effects induced by available chemotherapeutic drugs. Several possibilities are under study, and the use of exogenous proteases, isolated from bacteria, plants or even animals, is one of them. In fact, these molecules are being already used in several pathologies. Plant proteases, like trypsin, brofaz…
The tumor microenvironment is notoriously immunosuppressive and the holy grail of tumor immunology is to devise methods to restimulate the immune cells to reject tumor cells and halt tumor progression and death. Through the study of genetically engineered models of melanoma and lung cancer in mice, we are characterizing the changes that occur in the immune cells, particularly the tumor as…
