Abstract
Aneuploidy is one of the major hallmarks of cancer cells and several paths towards aneuploidy have been described. However, the relevance for tumor initiation or progression and how tumors deal with the initial aneuploidy related stress response is still unclear and recent results suggest that aneuploidy can even have tumor suppressive effects under certain conditions. The molecular mechanisms leading to and sustaining growth of aneuploid cells are just at the beginning to be understood and might provide new targets for cancer drug development. We will discuss some of the ideas to specifically kill aneuploid cells by targeting key regulators of mitosis.

Drug-Targeted Approach with Polymer Nanocomposites for Improved Therapeutics
Polymer nanocomposites have been recognized as an advanced and cutting-edge technique in drug targeting administration. These materials combine the unique features of nanoparticles with the adaptability of polymers to produce highly personalized drug administration devices. Integrating nanoparticles containing pharmaceuticals into a polymer matrix enables researchers to regulate the rates at ...read more
RNA Molecules in the Treatment of Human Diseases
Messenger and non-coding RNAs, including long and small transcripts, are mediators of gene expression. Gene expression at the RNA level shows significant aberrations in human diseases, including cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders. Human transcripts serve either as biomarkers of diagnosis, prognosis, prediction of treatment response and/or therapy ...read more
