TL;DR: Surprisingly the extracts herein tested were more effective than temozolomide, a potent inductor of apoptosis used for the treatment of malignant gliomas, and may be considered a good candidate for development of new cancer medicines with antitumor activity against glioma cells.

TL;DR: The results suggest that DnaK polarizes macrophages to the M2-like phenotype and could constitute a virulence factor and is an important immunomodulator of macrophage responses.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the ectonucleotidase pathway responds to a mild foot-shock in AC, PC and Fr2 and may be involved in memory consolidation of step-down inhibitory avoidance in the cingulate cortex.

TL;DR: Comparing the extracellular metabolism of AMP and transcriptional levels of the ecto-5'-nucleotidase/CD73 and tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase in activated and quiescent HSC of the mouse hepatic stellate cell line GRX suggests that ecto -5'- nucleotIDase-dependent adenosine generation may play a role in the regulation of quiescence HSC functions.

TL;DR: Quinovic acid glycosides purified fraction (QAPF) of U.tomentosa has a potent inhibitory effect on the growth of human bladder cancer cell lines by inducing apoptosis through modulation of NF-κB, and it is suggested that QAPF may become a potential therapeutic agent for the prevention and/or treatment of this cancer.
