Abstract
The concept according to which unique, rare and common sequences may define immunogenicity, immunopathogenicity and immunotolerance, respectively, is graphically illustrated using a melanoma-associatedantigen, Melan-A/Mart-1, as a model. The final picture is consolidated by experimentally validated data from the scientific literature and may represent a concrete prelude to effective immunotherapies exempt from collateral autoimmune reactions.
Keywords: Anti-cancer immunotherapy, autoimmunity, melan-A/Mart-1, immunogenicity, immunopathogenicity, immunotolerance, sequence similarity, the low-similarity theory.

Discovery of Lead compounds targeting transcriptional regulation
Transcriptional regulation plays key physiological functions in body growth and development. Transcriptional dysregulation is one of the important biomarkers of tumor genesis and progression, which is involved in regulating tumor cell processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Additionally, it plays a pivotal role in angiogenesis and promotes tumor ...read more
Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes that aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. The resynthesis of telomeres is supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergo ...read more
