Abstract: An antineoplastic drug-free anticancer strategy enabled by host defense peptides (HDPs)-mimicking synthetic polypeptides is reported. The polypeptide exhibits a broad spectrum of anticancer activity in 12 cancer cell lines, including drug-resistant and highly metastatic tumor… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2018.00167
Abstract: Antineoplastic drugs can be associated with several side effects, including cardiovascular toxicity (CTX). Biochemical studies have identified multiple mechanisms of CTX. Chemoterapeutic agents can alter redox homeostasis by increasing the production of reactive oxygen species… read more here.
