Cells, Volume 12, Issue 6, 7 1 2023, Pages 830 Human β-Defensins in Diagnosis of Head and Neck Cancers. Kompuinen J, Keskin M, Yilmaz D, Gürsoy M, Gürsoy UK
Head and neck cancers are malignant growths with high death rates, which makes the early diagnosis of the affected patients of utmost importance. Over 90% of oral cavity cancers come from squamous cells, and the tongue, oral cavity, and salivary glands are the most common locations for oral squamous cell carcinoma lesions. Human β-defensins (hBDs), which are mainly produced by epithelial cells, are cationic peptides with a wide antimicrobial spectrum. In addition to their role in antimicrobial d... Abstract

Mathematical biosciences and engineering : MBE, Volume 19, Issue 11, 1 1 2022, Pages 10941-10962 Assessing the therapeutic response of tumors to hypoxia-targeted prodrugs with an in silico approach. Yilmaz D, Tuzer M, Unlu MB
Tumor hypoxia is commonly recognized as a condition stimulating the progress of the aggressive phenotype of tumor cells. Hypoxic tumor cells inhibit the delivery of cytotoxic drugs, causing hypoxic areas to receive insufficient amounts of anticancer agents, which results in adverse treatment responses. Being such an obstruction to conventional therapies for cancer, hypoxia might be considered a target to facilitate the efficacy of treatments in the resistive environment of tumor sites. In this r...
