When general population refer to modern medicine, accuracy plays one of the most significant roles and people’s lives are directly dependent on it. Hence, any researches related to medicine are required to meet the highest standards. The challenge nowadays is that any results of researches can be shared online and used as a reference without being properly verified and validated. Mikhail (Misha) Blagosklonny of Oncotarget perfectly understood this issue and decided to create an alternative solution. That’s how a weekly oncology-focused research journal called “Oncotarget” has been founded back in 2010. The major principle of this journal is based on Altmetric scores that are used as a quality measure. That helps both readers and authors to quality-check publications with Altmetric Article Reports that provide “real-time feedback containing data summary related to a particular publication. ” Oncotarget website demonstrates a complete publications list with respective scores higher th...

Behind the Study: Secretomes in Breast Cancer Cells Induce MSC Actions

Researchers describe their paper published in Oncotarget titled, “Secretomes from metastatic breast cancer cells, enriched for a prognostically unfavorable LCN2 axis, induce anti-inflammatory MSC actions and a tumor-supportive premetastatic lung.” Behind The Study Researchers explain their studies that were published in Oncotarget The Behind the Study series transcribes videos of chosen researchers elaborating on their recent papers published in Oncotarget.

Structured Physical Exercise Reveals Anticancer Biomarkers

For the first time, microRNA biomarkers were found proving a direct correlation between a reduced rate of cancer and structured physical activity. Oncotarget journal Regular exercise doesn’t merely burn fat and build muscle to maintain a show-stopping physique. According to the World Health Organization, the lack of structured physical activity is a main risk factor in the diagnosis of breast and colon cancer, diabetes, and ischemic heart disease. In addition, at least two hours per week of structured physical activity has been found to significantly improve the prognosis for those already diagnosed with breast cancer. A recent paper published in Oncotarget – a premier open-access scientific journal – details an important study identifying the particular mechanisms involved in producing the now scientifically proven anticancer benefits of structured physical activity. The team chose to study the mechanisms responsible for the anticancer effects shown by structured physical exercise ...

Hypoxic Exosomes Enhance Ewing’s Sarcoma Cells

Researchers in this study demonstrate that oxygen deprived Ewing’s sarcoma cells release exosomes, which transmit signals to enhance tumor survival. 3D render of exosomes ADN vesicles 3D render of exosomes ADN vesicles A recent study was published in Oncotarget about Ewing’s sarcoma (EWS) and performed by researchers from the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Creighton University – both located in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. Ewing’s sarcoma is a bone tumor that develops in children and adolescents. Treatment for this aggressive and highly malignant pediatric disease can be very successful in the early stages. However, patients that reach the later stages of EWS may only have a five-year survival rate of 25% or less. These poor outcomes are partly related to drug-resistant, stem-like cancer cells. The researchers demonstrate that hypoxic (oxygen deprived) EWS cells release exosomes, which are the mechanisms that enhance tumor survival by promoting stem-like characteristics within t...
