Absztrakt Objectives It has previously been shown that the peptide (34Pro,35Phe)CGRP27–37 is a potent calcitonin gene-related peptide, CGRP receptor antagonist, and in this project we aimed to improve the antagonist potency through the structural modification of truncated C-terminal CGRP peptides. Methods…
Absztrakt Osteoporotic fracture is among the most common and costly of diseases. While reasonably heritable, its genetic determinants have remained elusive. Forearm fractures are the most common clinically recognized osteoporotic fractures with a relatively high heritability. To establish an atlas…
Absztrakt The Tac4 gene-derived hemokinin-1 (HK-1) binds to the NK1 receptor, similarly to Substance P, and plays a role in acute stress reactions and pain transmission in mice. Here we investigated Tac4 mRNA expression in stress and pain-related regions and its involvement…
Absztrakt Introduction Comparing the scientific output of different researchers applying for a grant is a tedious work. In Hungary, to help reviewers to rapidly rank the scientific productivity of a researcher, a grant decision support tool was established and is…

Absztrakt Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) benefits some patients with triple-negative breast cancer, but what distinguishes responders from non-responders is unclear1. Because ICB targets cell–cell interactions2, we investigated the impact of multicellular spatial organization on response, and explored how ICB remodels…
Absztrakt Circulating extracellular vesicle (EV)-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) are now considered the next generation of cancer “theranostic” tools, with strong clinical relevance. Although their potential in breast cancer diagnosis has been widely reported, further studies are still required to address this…
Absztrakt Pancreatic adenocarcinoma remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. In order to develop appropriate therapeutic and prognostic tools, a comprehensive mapping of the tumor’s molecular abnormalities is essential. Here, our aim was to integrate available transcriptomic data to uncover…
Absztrakt Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer, with clinical features of high metastatic potential, susceptibility to relapse, and poor prognosis. TNBC lacks the expression of the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human…
Absztrakt Immune-checkpoint inhibitors show promising effects in the treatment of multiple tumor types. Biomarkers are biological indicators used to select patients for a systemic anticancer treatment, but there are only a few clinically useful biomarkers such as PD-L1 expression and…
