Licochalcone A (LCA) is a chalcone that is predominantly found in the root of Glycyrrhiza species, which is widely used as an herbal medicine. Although previous studies have reported that LCA has a wide range of pharmacological effects, evidence for the underlying molecular mechanism of its anti-cancer efficacy is still lacking.

SAN DIEGO, CA USA (UroToday.com) - Dr. Christopher Kane, the moderator of this plenary session, opened the discussion by highlighting that robotic surgery has emerged as a new technology over the last decade and has brought with it new challenges, particularly in terms of teaching and training.

Poor sperm function is a major cause of infertility. There is no drug therapy to improve sperm function. Semen oxidative stress is a recently identified pathway for sperm damage. Commercial anti-oxidants such as L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine (LAL) are commonly self-administered by infertile men.

Lipid reprogramming is a known mechanism to increase the energetic demands of proliferating cancer cells to drive and support tumorigenesis and progression. Elevated lipid droplets (LDs) are a well-known alteration of lipid reprogramming in many cancers, including prostate cancer (PCa), and are associated with high tumor aggressiveness as well as therapy resistance.

The research's goal is to create the surfaces of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in a layer of folic acid that can effectively target human bladder cancer cells (T24).

An efficient method for creating FA-coated TiO2 NPs was used, and many tools have been used to analyze its physicochemical properties.

Lung cancer causes more deaths than breast, colorectal and prostate cancers combined. Despite major advances in targeted therapy in a subset of lung adenocarcinomas, the overall 5-year survival rate for lung cancer worldwide has not significantly changed for the last few decades.

Glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPx3) is involved in protecting cells from oxidative damage, and down-regulated levels of expression have been found in prostate cancer samples. We hypothesize that loss of the GPx3 increases the rate of prostate carcinogenesis and generated GPx3-deficient transgenic adenocarcinoma of the mouse prostate (TRAMP) mice.

Kidney stone disease (KSD) is one of the earliest medical diseases known, but the mechanism of its formation and metabolic changes remain unclear. The formation of kidney stones is a extensive and complicated process, which is regulated by metabolic changes in various substances.

Oxidative stress in semen contributes up to 80% of all infertility diagnosis. Diagnostics to measure oxidative stress in semen was recently added to the 6th edition WHO methods manual. Although, diagnostic predictive values need to be interpreted with caution as there are still several research questions yet to be answered.

Holliday Junction Recognition Protein (HJURP) is a centromeric histone chaperone involving in de novo histone H3 variant CenH3 (CENP-A) recruitment. Our transcriptome and in vivo study revealed that HJURP is significantly upregulated in bladder cancer (BCa) tissues at both mRNA and protein levels.

To study the protein expression level of Nrf2/HO-1 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and adjacent normal tissue and to explore its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis in ccRCC patients.

Male infertility is a widely debated issue that affects males globally. There are several mechanisms involved. Oxidative stress is accepted to be the main contributing factor, with sperm quality and quantity affected by the overproduction of free radicals.
