Liposomal Nanoparticle Mediated Gene Modulation for the Treatment of Melanoma in the Murine Model
This study evaluated the efficacy of liposomal nanoparticles (LNPs) in delivering Wnt/β-catenin-inhibiting mIR-124 plasmids to melanomas. In vitro, LNPs with mIR-124 were applied to B16N2 melanoma cells. In vivo, LNPs were injected into B16N2 tumors in mice. Delivery success was confirmed via flow cytometry and RT-PCR, assessing GFP expression, tumor transition markers, and Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Overall, the findings suggested that LNP-mediated delivery of Wnt/β-catenin inhibitors holds promise as a therapeutic strategy for melanoma, with trends indicating a reversal of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and slowed melanoma progression.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/soar24/1008/thumbnail.jp

Technology Enabling Strategic Moves to End Cancer, 2024
Artist: Cade Farmer
Materials: Recycled computer parts, acrylic
Technology underpins much of our everyday lives and much of what we do as employees to advance our mission to end cancer, just as a chess board is the foundation of the classic game of strategy. But it is the thoughtful and strategic moves that we, as people, make upon that foundation—guided by our core values—that positively impacts our patients’ lives and consistently earns us #1 rankings. This chess board incorporates recycled computer and keyboard components set in leftover acrylic that was destined for a landfill. Thirty-two handcrafted acrylic chess pieces complete the playable set.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/recycledart2024/1006/thumbnail.jp
