Ganoderic Acid A Targeting β-Catenin in Wnt Signaling Pathway: In Silico and In Vitro Study
(Springer, 2016)Wnt signaling pathways are the group of signaling transduction controlling the embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell migration, cell fate specification, and body axis pattern. Nuclear accumulation of β-catenin ... -
Ganoderic acid modulating TNF and its receptors: in silico and in vitro study
(Springer, 2017)Cancer is a multifactorial disease with a network of genes causing genetic alterations. The sophisticated techniques in molecular biology revealed different cancer pathway, but their mechanistic approach is still shrouded. ... -
Ganoderic acid targeting nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 in lung cancer
(Sage, 2017)Lung cancer causes huge mortality worldwide, and targeting new pathway may provide an alternative in modulating signaling in cancer. Nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 is the major regulator of endogenous and ... -
Ganoderic acid targeting multiple receptors in cancer: in silico and in vitro study
(Springer Netherlands, 2016)Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are transmembrane high-affinity surface receptors responsible for cell migration, adhesion, apoptosis, metabolism, and cell proliferation activities in various cancers. Minute aberration ... -
Ganoderma lucidum targeting lung cancer signaling: A review
(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2017)Lung cancer causes huge mortality to population, and pharmaceutical companies require new drugs as an alternative either synthetic or natural targeting lung cancer. The conventional therapies cause side effects, and ... -
Misconstrued versatility of Ganoderma lucidum: a key player in multi-targeted cellular signaling
(Springer, 2016)A Basidiomycetes fungus belonging to polypore family of mushrooms, Ganoderma lucidum (GL), has been known since a long time for their myriad therapeutic indications. Renowned as an invaluable resource of cardinal ... -
Missing link between microRNA and prostate cancer
(Springer Netherlands, 2016)MicroRNAs are the non-coding RNAs which regulate endogenous gene expression in animal and plant cells. Alterations in the level of micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) involving the deletions, overexpression, mutations, ... -
Drought and heat tolerance in chickpea: Transcriptome and morphophysiological changes under individual and combined stress
(Springer India, 2017)Increase in global temperature due to climate change is the major concern and known to have detrimental effect on many agricultural crops. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important legume grown in the arid and semiarid ... -
Synthesis of imine-pyrazolopyrimidinones and their mechanistic interventions on anticancer activity
(2013)Design, synthesis and anticancer activity of a series of imine-pyrazolopyrimidinones is reported for the first time. Compounds 9d, 9n and 9o in the series show encouraging in vitro anticancer activity with low micromolar ... -
Temperature-stratified screening of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genetic resource collections reveals very limited reproductive chilling tolerance compared to its annual wild relatives
(2012)Low reproductive chilling tolerance in chickpea impairs ovule fertilization, delaying pod set, exposing the crop to terminal drought throughout much of its distribution range. Despite this realization, little progress has ... -
Triterpenes in cancer: significance and their influence
(Springer Netherlands, 2016)Natural products are enriched with numerous compounds with a broad spectrum of therapeutics indication suggesting the role of functional moieties as a core pharmacophore. This review highlights the role of triterpene in ... -
