Screening for Multiple Autoantibodies in Plasma of Patients with Breast Cancer
Conclusion: Disease-relevant autoantibodies were detected in the plasma of patients with breast cancer and donors without breast cancer. This means that identifying the type and level of autoantibodies in samples will be important in determining their significance in the disease process. A microtiter plate-based array system could be a fast and inexpensive screening method for identifying and quantifying autoantibodies in human plasma. (Source: Cancer Genomics and Proteomics)

Impact of Mediterranean Diet on Cancer: Focused Literature Review
Conclusion: The MediD is associated with reduction in overall cancer rates as well as significantly lower rates of digestive tract cancers. These effects may be accentuated in the Mediterranean countries themselves. Further studies are needed to support or refute the effects of the MediD on other cancer types.

Chemical Proteomic Approaches Targeting Cancer Stem Cells: A Review of Current Literature
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been proposed as central drivers of tumor initiation, progression, recurrence, and therapeutic resistance. Therefore, identifying stem-like cells within cancers and understanding their properties is crucial for the development of effective anticancer therapies. Recently, chemical proteomics has become a powerful tool to efficiently determine protein networks responsible for CSC pathophysiology and comprehensively elucidate molecular mechanisms of drug action against CSCs. This review provides an overview of major methodologies utilized in chemical proteomic approaches. In addition, recent succ...

Histone Deacetylases as New Therapeutic Targets in Triple-negative Breast Cancer: Progress and Promises
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and HER2 gene. It comprises approximately 15-20% of breast cancers (BCs). Unfortunately, TNBC's treatment continues to be a clinical problem because of its relatively poor prognosis, its aggressiveness and the lack of targeted therapies, leaving chemotherapy as the mainstay of treatment. It is essential to find new therapies against TNBC, in order to surpass the resistance and the invasiveness of already existing therapies. Given the fact that epigenetic processes control both the initiation and progression of TNBC, ...
