Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I) and their use for modulating the transcriptional activity of the androgen receptor and its splice variants for treating various indications including prostate cancer
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions comprising a specific p38α inhibitor and an agent that induces chromosome instability, wherein the specific p38α inhibitor has a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) equal to or less than 40 nM. The invention also relates to the above compositions or to a specific p38α inhibitor for use in the treatment of breast cancer, wherein the breast cancer is characterised by a high degree of aneuploidy. Finally, the invention relates to a method for identifying a breast cancer patient who responds to a treatment with the above compositions or with a specific p38α inhibitor, wherein the breast cancer is characterised by a high degree of aneuploidy, and a method for selecting a treatment for a breast cancer patient.
Abstract:
Targeting metastasis stem cells through a fatty acid receptor. The disclosure provides the use of blockers or inhibitors of CD36 activity or expression for the treatment of oral squamous cell cancer (OSCC), particularly for the treatment of generated metastases and for diminish is generation from primary tumours. Apart from shRNAs, anti-CD36 antibodies are provided as blockers or inhibitors, especially those that block the binding of CD36 to oxidized LDL and fatty acids and their incorporation into cells, because the promotion of their transport is indicated as the mechanism by which CD36 promote metastases dissemination and growth. Also provided is a method for identifying candidates to anticancer agents, particularly for OSCC metastasis, among those that promote in CD36+ cells, in vivo or in vitro, effects associated to CD36 depletion or blocking such as decrease of growth accumulation of lipid droplets and decrease of size in the case of metastases.

Abstract:
The invention relates to compounds, particularly fluorogenic amino acid derivatives, which can be used as optical probes. The invention further relates to processes for the preparation of such compounds, the use of such compounds as probes and methods of detecting a target using such compounds as probes.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a drug discovery assay to screen for compounds capable of modulating condensates based on the ability of the said compounds to shift the condensation propensity of a studied target, preferably an intrinsically disordered protein.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a new biomarker useful to identify cancer patients with a TGFβ-activated microenvironment in colorectal cancer and other tumor types. It further relates to methods of predicting response to inhibitors of the TGFβ signaling pathway and methods of classification and selection of cancer patients for treatment with inhibitors of the TGFβ signaling pathway, to prognostic methods, to methods of monitoring or evaluating response to inhibitors of the TGFβ signaling pathway and to related second medical uses, diagnostic kits and uses thereof.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a nucleic acid construct comprising polynucleotide of interest and an untranslated 3' sequence including at least two cytoplasmic polyadenylation elements. The invention also relates to vectors, viral particles, cells and pharmaceutical compositions comprising said nucleic acid construct, and to their use for inducing selective expression of a polynucleotide in a tumor cell, and said nucleic acid construct for use in medicine and in the treatment of cancer.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The invention relates to methods for predicting the risk of relapse of cancer patients as well as methods for providing personalized medicine to said patients based on the expression levels of different genes the expression of which is induced in response to TGF-beta stimulation. The invention also relates to kits for carrying out the diagnostic and predictive medicine methods.
