Cells designed to deliver anticancer drugs by apoptosis.
We describe a new drug delivery strategy that uses genetically engineered endothelial cells (ECs) to deliver drugs to tumor cells by apoptosis. Immortalized ECs were genetically engineered to express a flk-1:fas fusion protein. When exposed to the flk-1 ligand, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is overexpressed by many tumors, these cells underwent extensive apoptosis. These apop...
متن کاملDynamin architecture--from monomer to polymer.
Dynamins form a family of eukaryotic and prokaryotic proteins involved in membrane fission, fusion and restructuring. They have complex mechanisms of self-assembly, which are coupled to the tubulation and destabilization of lipid bilayers. Recent structural data has revolutionized our understanding and is now yielding detailed insights into dynamin structure, from monomer through to polymer. Tr...

volume 117 | number 2 | February 2009 • Environmental Health Perspectives Double Trouble Flu Intensifies Effects of Ozone Environmental health scientists have long speculated that the influenza virus could intensify the pulmonary effects of air pollution or vice versa. Like air pollution, influenza affects primarily the respiratory system, and ambient air pollutants may either lower resistance ...
متن کاملDo patient access schemes for high-cost cancer drugs deliver value to society?—lessons from the NHS Cancer Drugs Fund
Background The NHS Cancer Drugs Fund (CDF) was established in 2010 to reduce delays and improve access to cancer drugs, including those that had been previously appraised but not approved by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence). After 1.3 billion GBP expenditure, a UK parliamentary review in 2016 rationalized the CDF back into NICE. Methods This paper analyses the potentia...
متن کاملA New Strategy to Deliver Synthetic Protein Drugs: Self-reproducible Biologics Using Minicircles
Biologics are the most successful drugs used in anticytokine therapy. However, they remain partially unsuccessful because of the elevated cost of their synthesis and purification. Development of novel biologics has also been hampered by the high cost. Biologics are made of protein components; thus, theoretically, they can be produced in vivo. Here we tried to invent a novel strategy to allow th...
