A new weapon against an old target
High expression of folate receptors is characteristic for the effector cell population of synovial macrophages in synovial inflammation. A new drug conjugate, EC0746, targets the folate inhibitor aminopterin to folate receptors. In vitro studies show that this conjugate acts antiproliferatively and inhibits cytokine production by macrophage cell lines. Moreover, it shows strong anti-arthritic e...

متن کاملGold nanoparticles in radiation therapy: an old story yet mesmerizing
Radiotherapy (RT) is generally considered to be one of the most effective cancer treatments. The primary goal of RT is to accurately induce radiation damage to the tumor while limiting radiation toxicity to a level acceptable to normal tissue. This is accomplished by targeting the tumor with radiation. On the other hand, the status of RT procedures as they stand today is not substantial enough ...
