EVALUATION OF THE IMMUNOMODULATORY ACTIVITY OF THALIDOMIDE ON TUMOR-ASSOCIATED MACROPHAGES IN THE 4T1 MURINE METASTATIC BREAST CANCER MODEL

Evaluation of the immunomodulatory activity of thalidomide on tumor-associated macrophages in the 4T1 murine metastatic breast cancer model

ABSTRACT The present work evaluated the immunomodulatory effect of thalidomide (Thal) at different doses on tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) using a mouse model of human breast cancer.Mice were inoculated with 4T1 cells in the left flank and treated with Thal once a day at concentrations of 50, 100, and 150mg/kg body weight from the 5th day unti

A Stochastic Multiscale Model That Explains the Segregation of Axonal Microtubules and Neurofilaments in Neurological Diseases.

The organization of the axonal cytoskeleton is a key determinant of the normal function of an axon, which is a long thin projection of a neuron.Under normal conditions two axonal cytoskeletal polymers, microtubules and neurofilaments, align longitudinally in axons and are interspersed in axonal cross-sections.However, in many neurotoxic and neurode
