Journal ArticleDOI

Cathepsin D: newly discovered functions of a long-standing aspartic protease in cancer and apoptosis

TL;DR: This review summarises the current knowledge on cath-D action in cancer progression and metastasis, as well as its dual function in apoptosis.
Journal Article

Association between High Concentrations of Mr 52,000 Cathepsin D and Poor Prognosis in Primary Human Breast Cancer

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the level of Mr 52,000 cathepsin D in cytosol of primary breast cancer biopsies is an independent prognostic factor in predicting relapses in both pre/peri- and postmenopausal patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cathepsin-D affects multiple tumor progression steps in vivo: proliferation, angiogenesis and apoptosis.

TL;DR: It is proposed that human cathepsin-D stimulates tumor growth by acting–directly or indirectly–as a mitogenic factor on both cancer and endothelial cells independently of its catalytic activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mannose-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles for efficient two-photon photodynamic therapy of solid tumors.

TL;DR: In the context of national systematic screenings for cancer,photodynamic therapy (PDT) has arisen as an alternative tochemo- and radiotherapy for the non-invasive selectivedestruction of small tumors.
