Journal ArticleDOI

Nivolumab plus ipilimumab with or without live bacterial supplementation in metastatic renal cell carcinoma: a randomized phase 1 trial

TL;DR: In this article , a bifidogenic live bacterial product (CBM588) was proposed to augment the response to checkpoint inhibitors through modulation of the gut microbiome, and the results showed that CBM588 appeared to enhance the clinical outcome in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with nivolumab-ipilimumab.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of MT1-MMP and MMP-2 by the Serpin PEDF: a Promising New Target for Metastatic Cancer

TL;DR: Understanding the role of PEDF in the regulation of MT1-MMP and MMP-2 as it pertains to cancer control is important in order to understand whether and how such associations provide a novel target for cancer therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pigment epithelium‐derived factor upregulates collagen I and downregulates matrix metalloproteinase 2 in osteosarcoma cells, and colocalises to collagen I and heat shock protein 47 in fetal and adult bone

TL;DR: Pigment epithelium‐derived factor (PEDF) has proven anti-osteosarcoma activity, but the mechanism(s) underpinning its ability to reduce primary bone tumour metastasis is unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pigment epithelium-derived factor as a natural matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor: a comparison with classical matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors used for cancer treatment.

TL;DR: Despite a large body of research being devoted to discovery and development of MMPIs, results have largely not been supportive of this approach to anticancer treatment.
