Explore the mechanism of astragaloside IV-PESV on proliferation, migration, and autophagy of prostate cancer cells based on the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway (PubMed, Zhonghua Nan Ke Xue)
The mechanism by which Astragaloside IV-Scorpion Venom Peptide inhibits the proliferation and migration of prostate cancer cells, suppresses cell mitosis, promotes early apoptosis, and enhances autophagy may be related to the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT pathway.

These findings suggest that the antifungal drug FCN can be repurposed for anticancer activity.

(PubMed, BMC Cancer)
VTX-1 enables isolation of CTCs and plasma exosomes from a single blood draw and can be used for detecting AR-V7 and PSMA mRNA in both CTCs and cfRNA in patients with mCRPC and resistance to ARIs. This technology facilitates combining RNA measurements in CTCs and exosomal cfRNA for future studies to develop potentially clinically relevant cancer biomarker detection in blood.
