Toxicological tests for cosmetic products were classically performed on animal models. Prohibitive costs and evolution of the perception about animal experimentation in the general public have encouraged the development of in vitro tests capable of predicting the toxicity of compounds potentially classifiable as "CMR" (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic...

Mammary carcinoma, including triple-negative breast carcinomas (TNBC) are tumor-types for which human and canine pathologies are closely related at the molecular level. The efficacy of an oncolytic vaccinia virus (VV) was compared in low-passage primary carcinoma cells from TNBC versus non-TNBC. Non-TNBC cells were 28 fold more sensitive to VV...

Lineage dedifferentiation toward a mesenchymal-like state displaying myofibroblast and fibrotic features is a common mechanism of adaptive and acquired resistance to targeted therapy in melanoma. Here, we show that the anti-fibrotic drug nintedanib is active to normalize the fibrous ECM network, enhance the efficacy of MAPK-targeted therapy,...

ABSTRACT Introduction and main objectives Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive and irreversible interstitial lung disease (ILD), that increases dramatically in incidence and prevalence with age. While successful alveolar regeneration after injury depends on pulmonary capillary endothelial cells (PCEC) reprogramming, the...
