Studies on erythropoiesis. XIV. The relationship of humoral stimulation to iron absorption.

Studies on copper metabolism. XIV. Radioactive copper studies in normal subjects and in patients with hepatolenticular degeneration.

X-ray studies on phospholipid bilayers. XIV. Interactions with the antiarrhythmic asocainol.

Asocainol (ASOC) belongs to class I of the antiarrhythmic drugs, i.e., those that exert their action at the level of the sodium channels of the myocardial cell membrane. It has been suggested that their molecular mechanism of action might be through nonspecific interactions with phospholipids that surround the channel proteins. In order to test this hypothesis, ASOC was made to interact with tw...

Anthelmintics – From Discovery to Resistance

The scientific meeting entitled 'Anthelmintics: From Discovery to Resistance' was held in San Francisco in February 2014. The themes of the meeting were drug discovery, modes of action and resistance. Both human and veterinary parasites were covered in the oral and poster presentations. The attendees were from both academic and industrial backgrounds. In the present article we introduce a numbe...
