In recent times, Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) synthesized from plant extracts and their anticancer activity have attracted significant attention. We report the green approach for the synthesis of AuNPs using extract from Abies spectabilis plant. In this study, the reaction parameters were optimized to

Extracts of plants have been widely tested for possible anticarcinogenic properties. In the present study a traditional remedy, consisting of an aqueous extract of mixed parts of the tree Abies alba and its mistletoe Viscum album se abies was tested on benzo(alpha)pyrene(BaP)-induced tumors in

A large number of terpenoids exhibit potential geroprotector and anti-cancer properties. Here, we studied whole transcriptomic effects of Abisil, the extract of fir (Abies sibirica) terpenes, on normal and cancer cell lines. We used early passaged and senescent none-immortalized fibroblasts as

Cancer chemoprevention, the prevention of cancer by ingestion of chemical agents that reduce the risk of carcinogenesis, is one of the potent ways to reduce morbidity and mortality. We have been searching for cancer chemopreventive agents from the leaves and barks of coniferous trees that have been

OBJECTIVE In phase I/II-studies radiolabelled ABY-025 Affibody molecules identified human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression in breast cancer metastases using PET and SPECT imaging. Here, we wanted to investigate the utility of a simple intra-image normalization using

[⁶⁸Ga]Ga-ABY-025/PET-CT targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) has demonstrated its potential clinical value for the detection and quantification of HER2 in a phase I clinical study with breast cancer patients. Previously, the radiopharmaceutical was prepared

The treatment of disseminated prostate cancer remains a great challenge in current oncology practice. The proliferation of prostate cancer cells is testosterone-driven, but clonal selection during androgen deprivation therapy promotes the development of androgen-independent (hormone-refractory)

Cytotoxicity assays in vitro (MTT test) showed that the different breast cancer cell lines Kpl-1, MCF-7 and Mfm-223 respond differently to the mistletoe (Viscum album L.) preparations Iscador. Quercus (Qu), Abies (A), Malus (M) and Pinus (P). In order to determine the differences in the

The hypervirulent Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain A281 formed frequent tumors (31%) on Picea abies (Norway spruce), an economically important tree species in Swedish forests. Three-month-old seedlings were inoculated and tumors were established that grew hormone-independently in culture. Tumors

Here we present antiestrogenic effects of Knotolan, a new dietary lignan from Abies sibirica raw material. Knotolan abolished growth-stimulating effects of 17β-estradiol on hormone-dependent MCF-7 cells.

High expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) represents an aggressive subtype of breast cancer. Anti-HER2 treatment requires a theragnostic approach wherein sufficiently high receptor expression in biopsy material is mandatory. Heterogeneity

Abiesenonic acid methyl ester (AVB-I acid methyl ester), a triterpenoid compound prepared from abieslactone, suppressed tumor promoter-induced phenomena in vitro and in vivo; i.e., AVB-I acid methyl ester inhibited 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-stimulated 32Pi-incorporation into

Therapies targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) have revolutionized breast cancer treatment, but require invasive biopsies and rigorous histopathology for optimal patient stratification. A non-invasive and quantitative diagnostic method such as positron emission tomography

BACKGROUND Human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) overexpression supports proliferation of androgen-independent prostate cancer (PC). Radionuclide molecular imaging of HER2 expression in disseminated PC would aid in the selection of patients who are likely responders to HER2 targeting

Surgical excision via wide local excision (WLE) of the primary sarcoma tumor is a mainstay of treatment due to the limited effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation. Even with attempts at WLE, 22-34% of the patient will be diagnosed with a positive margin by the pathologist, necessitating
