Dichloroacetate inhibits neuroblastoma growth by specifically acting against malignant undifferentiated cells.
The small, water soluble molecule Dichloroacetate (DCA) is recently arousing lively interests in the field of cancer therapy for it has been shown to be able to inhibit the growth of human tumors acting specifically on the mitochondria of cancer cells without perturbing the physiology of nonmalignant cells. Neuroblastoma was one of the tumor types on which DCA was considered ineffective as it i...
متن کاملMammalian proapoptotic factor ChaC1 and its homologues function as γ-glutamyl cyclotransferases acting specifically on glutathione.
ChaC1 is a mammalian proapoptic protein of unknown function induced during endoplasmic reticulum stress. We show using in vivo studies and novel in vitro assays that the ChaC family of proteins function as γ-glutamyl cyclotransferases acting specifically to degrade glutathione but not other γ-glutamyl peptides. The overexpression of these proteins (but not the catalytically dead E>Q mutants) le...
متن کاملApplication of bacterial bioluminescence to assess the efficacy of fast-acting biocides.
Traditional microbiological techniques are used to provide reliable data on the rate and extent of kill for a range of biocides. However, such techniques provide very limited data regarding the initial rate of kill of fast-acting biocides over very short time domains. This study describes the application of a recombinant strain of Escherichia coli expressing the Photorhabdus luminescens lux ope...
متن کاملModelling Reasoning and Acting Agents
Free University Amsterdam, Dept. of Mathematics and Computer Science De Boelelaan 1081a, 1081 HV Amsterdam The Netherlands Email: [email protected] Abstract A number of specific aspects of (intelligent) multi-agent domains have not been considered from a conceptual modelling perspective. For example, dealing with changing worlds and simultaneously active agents the resulting interactivity and dyna...
متن کاملWhat Would You Do? Acting by Learning to Predict
We propose to learn tasks directly from visual demonstrations by learning to predict the outcome of human and robot actions on an environment. We enable a robot to physically perform a human demonstrated task without knowledge of the thought processes or actions of the human, only their visually observable state transitions. We evaluate our approach on two table-top, object manipulation tasks a...
